The Kansas softball team fell to No. 7 Nebraska 8-0, in Lincoln, Neb., yesterday.
The Jayhawks were the victims of a no-hitter from Cornhusker junior pitching sensation Peaches James, as the squad lost to another Big 12 Conference opponent.
James ended the contest with eight strikeouts. If she hadn't hit Kansas freshman left fielder, Ashley Frazer, with a pitch in the third inning, she would have had a perfect game.
Nebraska (29-9 overall, 6-4 Big 12) tallied nine hits off of Kansas pitchers Kara Pierce and Kirsten Milhoan. Nebraska senior shortstop Amanda Buchholz did the most damage offensively, going 3-for 4, with three RBI.
Nebraska broke a scoreless game in the third inning by posting 5 runs in the inning. When it scored 3 runs in the fifth inning, the five-inning run-rule came into

record to 14-8.
The Aggies (28-14, 6-4 Big 12) currently sit in fifth place in the Big 12. The Texas A&M squad is 16-1 at home but only 3-7 on the road, something in which the Jayhawks can take solace in.
"They're playing well. They continue to build that club every
year it seems," Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said. "They are a solid defensive club."
Bunge said the Aggies were led both on the offense and defense by All-American senior catcher Selena Collins. She is hitting .303 with 30 RBI.
Texas A&M has solid pitching as well, anchored by juniors Jessica Slataper and Lindsay Wilhelmson. Both players have ERAs under 2.00.

Defense
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Kansas football team next year looks to compete with its defensive line, after a season that saw the Jayhawks crushed by opposing offensive lines.
Coach Mark Mangino said the defensive line was working hard.
"We're getting better," Mangino said. "We've been pretty banged up so far this spring. We've been working on understanding the schemes and gap responsibilities and are really progressing."
David McMillan and Cory Kipp are both practicing with the first team defensive ends, and McMillan has been one of the standout players in the spring. McMillan is a cat-quick 6-foot-3,240 pounds with a great motor and ability to get to the quarterback Last season McMillan had 55 tackles including nine for loss,12 quarterback pressures and three sacks.After an offseason of working out and working on speed,it is Mangino's hope that some of those pressures will turn into sacks.
"He's had an awfully good spring," Mangino said. "He's been really good as far as rushing the passer, and now he's starting to play better in the run game. He's much more physical and just keeps getting bigger and better."
If McMillan is the quick pass rusher, Kipp is the bigger end to help against the run. Standing 6-5 and 280 pounds, Kipp is a tackle-end hybrid and should help to hold ground against the more powerful offensive lines
Defensive tackle is another story. Mangino said there were no standouts at tackle so far in the spring.
"We've been rotating some guys and they all kind of blend together," Mangino said. "Now they have progressed from last year, but nobody really sticks out yet."
Travis Watkins started all 12 games last year but was also a big part of the team that had its toughness questioned by Mangino. The tackles were routinely pushed off the ball, which led to large running lanes for opposing running backs.
After one such game, Watkins said he was grateful for being pushed.
"If we were coaches, we'd
say the same thing to us," Watkins said. "The way he responded, we felt the same way. It'd be bad if coach came in there and said, 'Oh, you know, we just got outplayed and this team was better than us.' Because they weren't."
The search for another defensive tackle has yet to yield promising results, and just like the linebacker position, the best players could arrive in the fall.
So when the spring scrimimage rolls around tomorrow, don't focus on the quarterback, cornerbacks or receivers. Focus on the trenches.
If the Jayhawks win,it will be the lines that lead.

"I think they hurt Al Bohl's image," Hemenway said.
Sherry Bohl, Al Bohl's wife, said that the University already succeeded in hurting his image.
"The University would not even show Al the courtesy of letting him have his press conference on campus," Sherry said.
Bohl's press conference was held on his driveway at his house in Lawrence instead of at Hadl Auditorium, where most Kansas athletics press conferences are held. Several bystanders stopped to watch
the scene as television trucks and vans blocked traffic on Wimbledon Drive. After the conference was over, Bohl invited reporters into his home to ask more questions.
Hemenway said Al Bohl's remarks about Williams were not true.
"I think it's just absolutely unfair what he had to say about Roy Williams," Hemenway said. "All of coach Williams' concern has been for the Athletic Department as a whole."
Various members of the Athletics Department would not comment on the issue.

Off the court. Allen majored in chemistry and went on to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania.
was out of town and playing and there I was stuck at my sorority house."
Allen's sister, Elanore Nelson, said Allen took his studies seriously and was a dedicated athlete in college.
"Bob was very studious, staying up until 2 a.m. sometimes to finish homework after basketball practice," Nelson said. "Those were the facets of basketball then."
Allen was two years older than his sister, and Nelson said she liked being at the University while her brother was there. Nelson said she had to follow her brother when Allen graduated and headed to Pennsylvania for medical school.
"I thought I would miss him so much I had to go with him," Nelson said. "We used to have dinner on Sundays in Pennsylvania which
really made being there worth it."
Nelson said she really didn't know how to sum up the years of her brother's life. She did say Allen was the best brother she could have ever had.
"Bob was the most complete personification I would wish any sister to have as a brother," Nelson said.
Jean Allen, who was married to Allen for 59 years, said her husband made many great accomplishments in his life and his loyalty to the University never diminished.
"There weren't any games that Bob missed," Jean Allen said. "His loyalty to KU was extraordinary."
Jean Allen also said her husband was dedicated to his profession as a general surgeon at St. Luke's Hospital. He was the chairman of the surgery department and president of the medical staff.
Allen was buried at Oak Hills in Lawrence on Saturday. His memorial service is today at the Second Presbyterian Church in Kansas City, Mo.
