The Kansas soccer team looks to break a 280-minute scoring drought when it heads to South Dakota State Friday. The Jayhawks, who are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, haven't scored since playing Arizona on Sept. 6 and ending in a 1-1 tie.
During the losing streak, Kansas has been taking about the same number of shots as its opponents, 49-46, but has been outscored 7-0.
Their next opponent, South Dakota State, is on the opposite streak. The team has not lost in six outings and has won their last three matches. Last weekend they shut out two teams. Drake and Northern Iowa.
The Jackrabbits earned a victory against Northern Iowa in an exciting manner. Sophomore forward Diana Potterveld scored the only goal of the match in double overtime. Potterveld also scored the game winner in their match against Drake.
Another impact for the Jackrabbits is their freshman goalkeeper Nicole Inskeep, who is the reigning Summit League Defensive Player of the Week. She earned the award by shutting out their two previous opponents. Inskeep has previously won this award one time.
More bad news for the Jayhawks is that their opponent for Sunday, Illinois State, is also on a three-game winning streak. Among those matches was a victory against then 22-ranked Marquette. The Redbirds scored early and often to earn that victory. All three of their goals, in a 3-2 match, came in the
first 30 minutes of the game.
Illinois State is led by junior forward Rachel Tejada. she has scored seven goals this season. Last season, she was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year for the second year in a row.
To have any chance of earning victories against these two teams, the Jayhawks must work on their offense.
After the loss on Sunday, coach Mark Francis said the team has to figure it out offensively or else they were not going to win many games. This scoring slump is in stark contrast to some of the offensive explosiveness shown by the Jayhawks earlier in the season. On Sept. 1 in a home game against Purdue, the Jayhawks won 4-1 and had opportunities to score more.
Two players that might help Kansas score goals are senior forward Caroline Kastor and junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher. Kastor led the team last season in goals scored and has a team-high three goals so far this season. Fletcher had multiple opportunities to score in the last couple of games, but can't find the back of the net. Last weekend, she took eight shots, including six in a match against San Francisco.
Kansas plays South Dakota State on Friday at 6 p.m. in Brookings, S.D. The team returns home to play Illinois State on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Ex-NFL player's NY home trashed by partying teens
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, N.Y. — Former NFL offensive lineman Brian Holloway initially thought the Twitter photos showing young people partying at his family's second home in upstate New York were a hoax. Then he saw pictures of teenagers standing on the dining room table he bought with his Super Bowl bonus.
Holloway's rural vacation home was trashed during a Labor Day weekend party attended by up to 400 teenagers. Holloway said the partners caused at least $20,000 in damage, breaking windows and doors, punching holes in walls and spraying graffiti. He saw the whole

1980s, said his 19-year-old son, a University of Southern Florida sophomore, alerted him to the party after receiving tweets about it the night of Aug. 31.

Holloway was at his home in Lutz, Fla., at the time and watched as more tweets about the party were posted, many of them accompanied by photos of young people
"We were getting eyewitness reports of what was happening while it was happening. We couldn't believe what was going down," Holloway told The Associated Press.

Before he could call police, more tweets reported that officers had arrived, Holloway said. The party-goers scattered across his 200-acre property, which includes the main house and a guest house set amid rolling countryside in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains.

Holloway, a father of eight, said he used Twitter postings to compile 200 names of teens he said were at the party. He has been posting them on a website he created, www.helpmessave300.com, in an effort to get them to come forward, take responsibility for their actions and change their behavior.
"It's not hard to identify who they were. We've got 170 tweets. We have 200 to 220 names already confirmed today. I'm going to go online right now — I guarantee I'll have 10 more names of people who are sharing who was there, what they did. And that data is all going to the sheriffs. Holloway said.
He said he is inviting "the 300" to show up and help clean the place
Several teens who weren't at the party but heard about it showed up this week and helped remove urine-soaked carpets and 10 large trash bags filled with liquor bottles, Holloway said, adding that drug paraphernalia also was found scattered about his property.
Holloway said the partiers broke about 10 windows and glass doors, punched dozens of holes in the walls, dragged kegs of beer across oak floors and left behind an "enormous amount" of graffiti. His $20,000 damage estimate does not include personal items that were stolen.

"It will be brought up in freshman seminar classes about kids making choices," Hoffman said. "It's definitely a topic that'll come up in places like that."
