But the team lost all three of its doubles matches Saturday to Brigham Young University. The 'Hawks still pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Cougars.
Coming into the spring season the Kansas tennis team felt its strength was in doubles.
Kansas juniors Kristen Steinbock and Courtney Steinbock were defeated in a close match by Dominique Reynolds and Elizaveta Klempner, 9-8. Two other defeats caused the Jayhawks to lose the doubles point heading into the critical singles competition.
Kansas bounced back by winning four of the next six singles matches.
"Normally we win our doubles matches," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "But it was nice to be able to win it in singles, especially winning the top four spots."
In singles action, Courtney Steinbock was victorious over Reynolds, 7-5, 6-3. Sophomore Paige Brown defeated Lu Oswald at the No. 2 singles position in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2. Freshman Christine Skoda defeated Klempner 7-5, 6-2, giving the Javhawks the lead in the match.
Kansas dropped the last two singles matches, which set up the deciding match with junior Emily Haylock against Olga Boulytcheva. Haylock lost the first set but then fought back to win the match, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. The victory gave Kansas the crucial point to win its first dual match of the season.
The Jayhawks are 1-0 while the Cougars fall to 0-2 on the season. Kansas faces southwest Missouri State Sunday at Indian Creek Racquet Club in Overland Park.

Would Kansas have lost to the Buffalooes, an average team at best, if Emporia State was the game slated for Saturday?
I doubt it.
"It's a marathon," Williams says of the regular season, "and you've got to run every mile of it."
Unfortunately, the Jayhawks didn't practice what their coach preached last week. They decided to walk the leg that went through the Rocky Mountains.
Win or lose, Saturday was a great day for Kansas basketball. The most talented team in America paid Lawrence a visit, and, for a while, the Jayhawks played

with it.
They certainly proved Saturday that they can run with the best.
Too bad it cost them an amazing 23-game Big 12 winning streak. And, if things are tight down the stretch, it could cost them a chance at back-to-back Big 12 titles.

Now was it really worth it?
Tickets

"Not only are students now paying for their own tuition increase, if you buy the package you are also paying for an athlete's tuition increase," Ng said.

Some members of the board thought the vote came too quickly without enough conversation about the topic, Ng said.
"We were really blind-sided," Ng said. "The vote came out of nowhere."
Among the people who voted for the increase was Mike Maddox, an alumni board member. He said the increase was less than 15 percent because there was an extra home football game this season.
"The board is sensitive to the impact of increasing the fee for students, but it is still a very good value." Maddox said. "You're paying only $125 for 16 KU basketball games and seven football tickets."
Ng agreed with Maddox that the tickets were still a good deal, but he said the increase came at a poor time and was unnecessary.
"No one is arguing that it is not a good deal, but just because you can increase ticket prices doesn't mean you should," Ng said.
The increase still puts the University in the middle of the Big 12 in terms of price for student season ticket prices, Wachter said. The last increase came in 1999 when the price went from $91 to $100.
The proposal also increased football season ticket prices from $167 to $182 next season. The increase is due to the number of home games increasing by one.
The board also added two premium games for next season. Fans will pay $35 for Missouri, $40 for Nebraska and $30 for the five other home games.
Both premium tickets cost less than the $45 charged for Kansas State tickets last season.
