The men's team took first place in the 8k race at the Rim Rock Classic defeating Rice, New Mexico State, and final Kansas State. With the
victory, the men won their second meet in as many races.

Kansas starts conference play scoreless

In the first two games of conference play, the Kansas soccer team (5-6 2) couldn't earn a win. The Jayhawks were 0-1-1 over the weekend and were held scoreless over the 200 minutes of play.
The Jayhawks tied the Iowa State Cyclones (6-6-2, 0-2-1) 0-0 on Friday. On Sunday, Kansas matched up with the Texas Longhorns (9-4-1, 3-1) and lost the game 0-1 on a late Texas goal.
With five minutes left in the match, Texas midfielder Aaron Strawser put in an unassisted goal from the right corner, her first of the season. Strawser had a long run and tried to cross the ball to a teammate. The ball ended up finding the back of the net after rolling out of the reach of junior Kansas goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud.
"Other than the first 10 minutes where we couldn't get a hold of the
ball. I thought the midfield played really well and we controlled the tempo," head coach Mark Francis said. "We created some really good chances and just weren't able to finish with a goal."
Haley Yearout sent the ball to senior forward Caroline Kastor in front the goal. Texas goalkeeper Abby Smith misplayed the ball and left the goal wide open for Kastor

The Jayhawks earned a corner kick off the previous play. Yearout sent the ball toward the box. Sophomore midfielder Hanna Kallmaier
jumped and sent a header toward the net, which clinked off the left post.
"I think we outplayed this team, and I think we deserved to win."
"We are all pretty disappointed," junior midfielder/forward Jamie Fletcher said, "I think we outplayed this team, and I think we deserved to win. The soccer gods aren't always on our side."
The Jayhawks also defended the ball well. Stroud had seven saves, including one that saved what seemed like a sure goal for the Longhorns. Late in the first half, Stroud was milled away

Kansas was outshot by Texas 15-12. Fletcher lead the Jayhawks
with three shots, one of which was on goal.
The Jayhawks were also outshot in the match against Iowa State 15-9 on Friday. Neither team could score after regulation and two ten-minute overtime periods. Kansas struggled to find opportunities, and its first shot didn't come until Kastor headed a shot in the 23rd
This opening weekend put Kansas in the bottom half of the Big 12 standings. West Virginia is the only undefeated team in conference play. Oklahoma is on the bottom with two losses.
"I think we respond well to adversity," Fletcher said. "We will come on Tuesday ready to work. We only have one game this week, and so we can focus on that and hopefully get a result."
The Jayhawks will look for their first conference win, and goal, on Friday against TCU at home.

Continental Europe wins Seve Trophy
SAINT-NOM-LA-BRETECHE, France — Continental Europe ended a 13-year drought in the Seve Trophy by defeating Britain and Ireland 15-13 on Sunday. Francesco Molinari beat Chris Wood 3 and 2 in the last singles match to give Continental Europe the winning point, and its first victory since the inaugural contest in 2000. It had lost the last six meetings.
"They were determined to win," Continental Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal said. "Sometimes the determination helps and I think it did this time."
The teams were tied 9-9 at the end of play Saturday and were still level 12-12 after the first six singles matches on Sunday. Simon Khan of England couldn't play because of a back injury, meaning his match against Thomas Bjorn was halved, while Gonzalo Fernan-
dez-Castano rallied from two down after eight holes to split the point with Jamie Donaldson. Nicolas Colsaerts birdied Nos. 15 and 17 to protect his slim lead and edge Paul Casey by a hole. Joost Luiten lost 3 and 2 to Tommy Fleetwood, who went three up on the front nine.
Gregory Bourd of France became the first player to win five points in a single Seve Trophy, making six bishards to rout Scott lamieson 4 and 3.
After Marc Warren thrashed Thorbjorn Olesen 4 and 3, Matteo Manassero defeated Stephen Gallacher 3 and 2 to give Continental Europa a 13-12 lead before Miguel Angel Jimenez pushed Britain and Ireland to the brink by dominating David Lynn 6 and 4.
Paul Lawrie beat Mikko Ilonen 2 and 1 to keep alive his team's hopes of a tie that would have forced a greensomes sudden death playoff.
