With both conference and non-conference battles this weekend, the No. 75-ranked Kansas tennis team will look for its first victories at the Robinson courts.

The Kansas soccer team will be at home for the second time this spring Sunday when it takes on Creighton and Oral Roberts at SuperTarget Field.
The Jayhawks are 1-2-2 on the spring season after notching a victory and a tie at Iowa last weekend. Kansas coach Mark Francis said he liked the improvement he was seeing from
his team this spring.
"The things we've been working on this spring have been getting better," Francis said. "We played well last weekend. We ran out of gas last weekend in the second game, but I thought we played well."
Francis said the team was in good shape, but a lack of depth with only 11 players made doubleheaders tough.
"The players' condition isn't a concern," Francis said. "In soccer it's impossible to play two
games in one day. We would never do that in a real season, but in the spring you only have a few dates and you want to get as much in as possible."
Creighton will play its first game of the spring season at SuperTarget Field, near 19th Street and Ousdahl Road. Bluejay coach Bruce Erickson said his team wasn't bringing in a specific game plan but wanted to play solid soccer.
"We're coming to play." Erickson said. "I don't know if there is
anything particular we will try to work on. We just want to build off what we did last fall."
Francis said typically the spring season was about improving as a team rather than focusing on the opponent.
"I don't really know that much about Creighton or Oral Roberts," Francis said. "We don't really do scouting reports in the spring. We just want to work on getting better."

Royals defeat White Sox, off to a 3-0 start
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chicago White Sox were supposed to be AL Central contenders and are 0-5.
The Kansas City Royals, who lost 100 games last season and then slashed payroll, are 3-0.
What gives?
"A lot of people are surprised. Honestly, I'm not," said Royals rookie Ken Harvey, whose goahead single off Billy Koch keyed a seven-run eighth inning in yesterday's 12-6 victory.
"We have a lot of talent here," Harvey said. "People don't want to give us credit for that."
Kansas City, 3-0 for the first
time since 1979, scored all its runs with two outs. After Harvey's two-run single put Kansas City on top 7-6, Brent Mayne hit Koch's next pitch for an opposite-field, three-run homer.
The White Sox, 0-3 for the first time since 1995, committed four errors and wasted a great day by Jose Valentin, who had a pair of two-run homers and a triple.
"It was just a horrific game by us," Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said. "That's one of the worst games I've seen us play in a long time. It's not the fact we lost three games. It's how we lost this one."
The White Sox play their home opener today against winless Detroit.
The Royals' Mike Sweeney was 3-for-3 with a homer, three walks and three RBIs.
Chicago led 6-5 in the eighth when Tom Gordon (0-1) hit Joe Randa with a pitch and Sweeney walked. Damaso Marte walked Desi Relaford with two outs, loading the bases, and Koch relieved.
He had 44 saves last year for Oakland, but couldn't convert his first chance with Chicago, which
acquired him during the offseason.
Mayne tied a career-high with four hits and had four RBI.
"I didn't hit the ball well until the last one," he said. "I shanked the first three. I was lucky."
Angel Berroa doubled and scored on third baseman Joe Crede's second error of the game. Rick White forced in another run with the bases loaded when Sweeney walked for the second time in the inning.
Valentin hit his first homer of the season in the fifth off Miguel Asencio, then hit a two-run homer off Kris Wilson in the sixth for a 6-5 lead. It was his 14th multi-homer game.
