Women's team hopes to play in tournament

The University of Kansas women's club soccer team has some Texas-size goals this season.
The senior-laden club has a great deal of flexibility, which helps when the team has a shortage of position players.
"We have a lot of talented, versatile players on this team," said Lauren Heyward, Leawood senior and club president. "That helps when you need defenders to play as midfielders."
Heyward and other team members are confident they will compete in the championship bracket of the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association Soccer Finals in Austin, Texas, Nov. 15-18.
Last year, the Jayhawks competed in the championship's open division in Statesboro, Ga., where they tied a competitive Colorado team 1-1.
While reaching nationals and competing at that tournament has been the
team's main goal, it is developing an unlikely in-state rival.
The Jayhawks reached the finals of the Edward Chartrand Memorial Tournament in Manhattan last weekend, where they lost 3-0 to Drake. However, it was a semifinal 3-2 overtime victory settled by penalty kicks against Wichita State University that may have sparked a new rivalry.
"K-State used to be our main rival, but it looks like Wichita has replaced them," Heyward said.
While the Jayhawks and the Shockers are scheduled to play Saturday, Oct. 21, in Wichita, some team members said they believed that last Saturday's match-up was more of a fluke than the beginning of a rivalry.
“This year's team is spectacular,” said Carlisa希拉Wichita, Bellichia女士。“Wichita State just caught us on a day when we only had 14 players.”
The team's mixture of youthful and veteran talent led to two other victories, both in the first round of the Charttand Tournament. The Jayhawks defeated Kansas State 1-0 and Manhattan Christian College 9-0.
The team's new cohesiveness may prove to be helpful for the upcoming national competition as well as home matches against Missouri this Saturday and Nebraska on Sunday, Oct. 29.

Shoe store discounts put players on bench
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin suspended three basketball players yesterday, including two from its Final Four team, for eight games for receiving unadvertised discounts at a shoe store.
Maurice Linton and Travon Davis, members of the Badgers' Final Four team, and women's player Krista Bird must sit out eight games, close their accounts at the store and repay more than $500 in benefits each received to regain eligibility, the school said.
An additional 37 athletes who received extra benefits at the store won't miss any games, but they must close their accounts and repay the amount of the extra benefit to a local charity.
Sixteen of those athletes who received benefits of between $100 and $299 also must perform 24 hours of community service.
the university's action yesterday brings the number of Badger athletes disciplined for receiving substantial discounts on shoes and clothing at the Shoe Box to 88.
The investigation into the store and the athletes began after the Wisconsin State Journal ran a report this summer detailing purchases by eight members of the Badgers' Final Four men's basketball team and 14 players from the Rose Bowl champion football team.
The newspaper reported players received discounts of 25 percent to 40 percent and interest-free credit.
The two men's basketball team members must serve their suspensions within the opening eight games of the 2000-01 season, not counting exhibition games. The university has appealed to the NCAA to allow the suspensions to be staggered over the first half of the season, 13 games.
The school still must complete a report to the NCAA. If the violations constitute a major rules violation, it would be the university's third such infraction within the past decade.
Because Basket was the lone suspended women's basketball player, Wisconsin can't appeal to the NCAA for an extension.
