Hockey team takes invitational
The KU field hockey team improved its record to 10-2-1 this weekend and took the championship in the Ruth Hoover Jayhawk Invitational.
The tournament is named for Ruth
bartlett former head of the department of
PROCADRON.
The Kansas City Field Hockey Club finished second in the tournament, followed by the University of Oklahoma and Northeast Missouri State University.
The opening matches were scheduled to start Friday morning on the KU field east of Robinson Gymnasium but were postponed by rain. The games were switched to Memorial Stadium, and the tournament began Friday afternoon.
KU coach Diana Beebe had said she thought all the teams would be even matched, and she was correct. The team would go into overtime for two of their three wins.
IN THE JAYHAWKS' opening game with Northeast Missouri State, regulation time ran out with a scoreless tie. The game should have been decided on time of possession in opponent's territory, but a timeout by the timekeeper brought about the overtime.
"One of the timekeepers failed to stop the
clock that keeps track of penetration time," he said, "and had to decide the game either corners or bottoms.
In penalty corners, the four offensive front line players line up 16 yards from the goal. A fifth player passes the ball in from the boundary, 16 yards from the corner of the goal. Each team gets three attempts to score.
The KU defense kept northwest Missouri and the Jayhawks injured on their second.
"I wasn't too happy with that first game," Beebe said. "We started off really slow and just weren't playing together. But we did manage to come alive after that."
THE JAYHAWKS simply overpowered a young Oklahoma team in their second game, and came away with a 3-1 win. Anne Levinson, Bryden, Mass, sophomore, scored four points for Kansas City and Donna Sullivan, both Kansas City, Ken, seniors, scored second-ball goals.
"I was really impressed with Oklahoma," Beebe said, "They have mostly freshmen on the team but looked good. We just had ex-team players and a team and dominated the whole game."
In the championship game, the Jayhawks jumped out to an early 2-1 lead over the
Kansas City Field Hockey Club but allowed a late goal that tied the game.
"We were playing great," Beeen said, "but got too overconfident with the lead. The shot that tied the game went through three defenders and the goal keeper, and that almost never happens. I think we just didn't hurt enough on that shot."
WHEN THE GAME ended in a tie, the Kansas City club was awarded the win on penetration time. That brought about a tie between Kansas City and KU for first place, so they went to penalty corners to decide the championship.
Again the Jayhawk defense held and prevented a score. When the Jayhawks got possession, Nancy Lambros, St. Louis senior, scored the winning goal.
After the tournament, Beebe said the Jayhaws still needed work in some areas.
"The biggest mistake we're making is that when we intercept the ball we hit it right back to the other team, instead of to one of our players," Beebe said. "We're just swinging at the ball, when we should be stopping it and setting up for a good shot."
The Jayhawks will have until Wednesday to work on their techniques and then they travel to Warrensburg, Mo., to take on Central Missouri State University.
