Clutch play gave the tennis team its second win of the season yesterday against the Southwest Missouri State Bears, 4-3.
Junior Courtney Steinbock won the deciding match in a battle with Cassandra Godfrey. After Steinbock won the first set, Godfrey would take the second to force the deciding third set. With strong groundstrokes, Steinbock came back after being down three games to win the third set and the match.
"I just knew I could win after I got the first set," Steinbock said. "I needed to slow things down and make my shots."
The Jayhawks earned the
doubles point to start the dual by winning two matches. At the No.1 position, Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock dropped their match 8-6.
In singles play, Paige Brown lost to Ia Zohrashvilli at the No.1 position. Coach Kilmeny Waterman dropped Courtney Steinbock to the No.2 position.
"I'm going to switch people around," Waterman said. "We need to be more aggressive and work on finishing matches."
Emily Haylock established serve and volley play, giving her the victory over Marta Rubina.
Kansas improves to 2-0 while SMS drops to 0-3. The Jayhawks' next match against Texas is Feb. 15 at Wood Valley Racquet club in Topeka.

Two-and-a-half weeks later, when the men's basketball team played Arizona, the department gave students ThunderStix. They were loud and, well, artificial. The department might as well have passed out trumpets.
How hilarious would that have been?
But rules are rules. Distributing them and forbidding their use at certain times was stupid.
It begs the question: Why did they order the annoying things?
ThunderStix serve a different purpose. Pull yours out and you'll see that it's just an inflatable billboard that puts cash in
The department was fortunate. The referees gave no technicals, the sponsors got their advertising, and the department's mis-managed wallet fattened up a little.
Umm...?
The kicker is that during the game, the announcer frequently

pleaded with the students to not smack those things together.
Of course, the students didn't listen. They're students. They're like those gambling nuts, but they crave noise instead of a jackpot.
So, naturally, the students bashed the hell out of the ThunderStix anyway — even though the Jayhawks could have been given a technical in the middle of
It doesn't make the department's decision logical, though.

When Garmin set out to create a one-of-a-kind product, they gave Hank and Wai, engineering project leaders, a clean slate. No rigid specifications, no constraints on product design and capabilities. From this "blue sky" blueprint was born Rin io, the world's first two-way radio and GPS that can send and receive locations. Thanks to its unique design and innovative features, Rino had thousands of advance orders before it even hit store shelves.
According to Hank and Wai, it's all about engineers with the freedom to dream and leaders willing to listen.
