21, 25-15, and pulled out a 25-19,
26-24 victory against Binghamton University.
"Some of the smaller schools, like Binghamton, were not as strong as the better-known schools, like USC." Crews said.
Because of the solid performance on the second day, the Jayhawks were put into the silver bracket for the final round, which was single elimination.
They took on Washington State, which ended their tournament with a 25-19, 25-12 defeat.
Sheckles said she felt fatigue might have been a factor on the final day for the Jayhawks, who brought just eight players to the tournament.
"Most teams traveled there with 10 or 11," she said. "They also had a coach, and we just discovered we really needed a coach."
Despite having no coach, the team was more prepared than last
year according to Crews, even though that tournament was in Kansas City. The team took part in fund-raising activities and put a lot of time into planning its trip.
"Last year people just came and went because the venue was so close," Crews said. "We were much more organized this year."
Even with the tournament two states away this year, the Jayhawks had a decent sized cheering section. However, these were not traditional Jayhawk fans. One mother, who lived in Texas, came to watch, but much of the rest of the team's fans consisted of men's teams that took a liking the Jayhawks, Crews said.
"We had four or five teams watching us at a time," she said. "I think they were intrigued because we were not wearing cowboy hats. People think of Kansans as farmers."

Baseball's home run kings meet only twice this season, and the three-game series beginning tonight is San Francisco's lone trip to Chicago.
"It's entertainment, baby."
CHICAGO — The weather is crummy and cold, the Chicago Cubs are losing and the San Francisco Giants don't rate anywhere near the White Sox on the list of rivals.
"Everything he's been doing for the last few years — myself, too, — it's going to be exciting," Sosa said. "People want to see that, people want to be there."
In fact, ask Sosa what player he'd pay to see, and he says Bonds without any hesitation.
Bonds, who set baseball's single-season record with 73 homers last year, already has eight. Sosa, the only player to hit 60-plus homers in three seasons, is right
Yet there's an electricity surrounding this week's Giants-Cubs series, and it can be summed up in five short words: Barry Bonds vs. Sammy Sosa.
"I would come to watch Barry Bonds, definitely," Sosa said. "Because he's doing so well. He's doing it all."
behind him with six.
Sosa and Bonds got into a little tiff in spring training over what started as some playful back-and-forth about breaking Bonds' record. But the two settled their differences before they left Arizona, and everything is apparently fine now.
Sosa, Bonds to face off
Bonds also leads the league in hitting .(432),slugging percentage (1.068) ,on-base percentage (643) and walks (24).

Along with his 73 homers last season, Bonds set a record with 177 walks.
What makes Bonds so dangerous is his patience. Sosa said. Bonds goes to the plate looking for a certain pitch, and won't swing at anything out of his strike zone.
