Kansas women's volleyball sets goals for championship
By Chris Oster
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's volleyball team enters its 15th season hoping to qualify for the Big Eight championship.
After narrowly missing qualifying for the tournament
with 11 last year, he head coach Frankie Albritz
won his second start. The team defeated Indiana.
She says that the past two seasons she has fielded young squads. However, this year she looks to the
Albiz says two players should be keys to the success of the season.
"Kris Kleinschmidt and Adrian Powell are very important. If they're not playing well, we're in a lot of trouble." Albiz said. "Our whole offense depends on the pass, and they do most of the passing."
Kleinschmidt said that improved leadership had helped the team progress.
"We've been playing really well together in practice so far," Kleinschmidt said.
Leadership lost from last year's squad included Jodi Oelschlager, Kansas volleyball's all-time hitter, and Shelly Jorgensen, who both graduated. Also not returning from last year's squad are Cindy Campbell and Tami
Taber, who were both freshmen on the team.

It was a match with Nebraska last spring to which Powell and Kleinschmidt attribute this year’s optimism. Kansas pushed the match to five sets before losing, but Michigan played very well and gained confidence from the match.
The Jayhawks begin the season Aug. 31 with the two-day Jayhawk Early Bird Tournament. Also competing in the tournament are the Florida Gators and the New Jersey Devils.
