Tennis team faces Texas double-dose
The Kansas tennis team will take a 12-match winning streak to the state of Texas, where it faces No. 23 Texas A&M today at 6 p.m. and No. 11 Texas Sunday at noon.
"We are excited about this week's matches and we realize that we have nothing to lose," coach Kilmeny Waterman said.
The three teams are atop the Big 12 Conference and the matches will decide the final standings and determine a Big 12 regular season champion.
The 20-3 Texas A&M Aggies are third in the Big 12 with an 8-1 record and are currently on a six-match winning streak. Junior Ashley Hedberg leads the Aggies with a 21-1 record in singles along with a 16-4 doubles record.
The Jayhawks have not defeated the Aggies since 1999 when Kansas won 6-3 in Lawrence. The Aggies lead the all-time series 5-2.
The second match for the Jayhawks will feature a battle against the Texas Longhorns, who are first in the Big 12. Not only are the
Longhorns 9-0 in the Big 12, they have won eight of their last nine matches and hold an overall 16-5 record.
No. 1 singles senior Vladka Uhlirova is ranked 25th in the nation with an 13-8 singles record. Uhlirova teams up with junior Ziva Grasic as the No. 46 ranked doubles team, which has an 11-8 overall record.
The Jayhawks have never been able to take a victory against Texas, which holds a 12-0 all time series lead against Kansas.
The Jayhawks have not lost a match since March 1.
The No. 1 doubles pair of Courtney and Kristen Steinbock come into the weekend having won eight out of their last 10 matches.
In singles, current Big 12 player of the week Aurlie Bejar has won 12 straight and has not lost to a Big 12 opponent all season.

Rowing team heads west for weekend races
By Brent Wasko Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team probably won't compete in many races this season more difficult than the ones it will face tomorrow on the Redwood Shores in California.
Instead of racing against a large field like the Jayhawks did last weekend at the Knecht Cup, Kansas will compete in two dual regattas at the Stanford Invitational starting at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. The first regatta is against Stanford, which is the No.6 team in the nation. The second regatta is against California.
the country's No. 8-ranked team.
Kansas, which is unranked,
will race two varsity eight-boats
and two varsity four-boats in
each regatta.
"We need to learn how fast we can be, and this will be a good test to see where we stand." coach Rob Catloth said. "We have absolutely nothing to lose."
The Jayhawks are heading into their races tomorrow with some momentum. At the Knecht Cup last weekend, the team's second varsity eight-boat and varsity four-boat each won their races.
Those results were an improvement from the Jayhawks' performance on March
30, when Kansas lost all four of its races to Texas.
Senior rower Christy Newton,
who is a member of the second varsity eight-boat, said she thought the team had improved significantly since its first regatta of the spring season.
"It's all about finding the right combination of people," Newton said. "Rowing has so many technical components to it. It's hard to get everyone on the same page."

Newton said racing at the Stanford Invitational would benefit the team in the long run.
"I think this is exactly the type of competition we need right now," she said. "It's a critical time because this is when the new rankings come out, and we want to be on the list."
Catloth agreed that his team was making progress, but he said beating Stanford and California would be extremely difficult.

"I think we'd have to be absolutely unconscious."
Women's golf team ready for Big 12 Championships
By Ryan Greene Kansan Sportswriter
The Kansas women's golf team will face its last test this weekend in Manhattan, where the Jayhawks will compete in the Big 12 Women's Golf Championships.
"We're definitely improved from last year and everyone's improved at least a stroke over last year," coach Nicole Hollingsworth said. "As long as our individuals get better, we're going to get better as a team."
The team will field its usual starting lineup of juniors Tiffany Kruggel, Jill MacDonald, Heather Rose and Kristy Straub. Sophomore Jennifer Bawanan will round out the lineup.
"The five players going are very focused and really want to do well, and they know this is the biggest tournament of their lives to this point," Hollingsworth said. "They know what their roles are."
The team is on a hot streak following its seventh-place finish at Waterwood last weekend. The weekend also included the first individual collegiate win for junior Heather Rose.
Team members said they were optimistic about the upcoming
weekend and confident that despite the team's lack of seniors, Kansas had plenty of leadership.
"I think we have a really good chance to beat a lot of teams," said junior Heather Rose.
Rose has been one of the main lifelines for the team this year with an average round score of 81.21 through 28 rounds played.
However, she said she thought that the key to this weekend's tournament would be a strong finish.
"We've worked hard this year, and we've beaten some Big 12 teams this season in our prior tournaments, so I think we have a really good chance," she said.
"I just think that we need to finish strong," Rose said. "We have good rounds, and then our last rounds are not as good as we'd like. We need to play like we did in our last outing."

Bowling coach honored but team struggles
Kansas bowling coach Mike Fine was named National Coach of the Year, but his team ended its day 14th out of 16 teams in the Inter-Collegiate Bowling Championships yesterday.
However, because of how the tournament is organized, the team's tournament dreams aren't completely dashed. The team is now seeded 14th, its old scores will be discarded and the team will take on defending national champion
Western Illinois today.
"We're kind of excited that we're going to have a second chance," coach Mike Fine said.
Besides gaining new life, the team received more good news in the form of awards, when four bowlers were named were named to the All-America "B" team: Mike Keeler, St. Charles, Mo., senior; Ryan Ludwig, Kansas City, Kan., junior; Brad Wass, Wichita junior; and Carly Ingham, Overland Park freshman.
