Kansas senior forward Chelsea Gardner puts up a shot against a Fort Hays State defender as senior forward Bunny Williams looks on. Sunday's game was the first of two exhibition games to start the season.

PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Senior forward Chelsea Gardner led the Jayhawks with 23 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Gardner isn't a stranger to double-doubles, as this game marked her 19th. Gardner is an impact player. Even Fort Hays State coach Tony Hobson said his team had to start double-teaming Gardner in order to "take her out of her rhythm a little bit," but even with the extra attention from Fort Hays she managed to control at both ends of the court.
PLAYER WHO STRUGGLED:
It was tough to find a problem with the Jayhawks on Sunday, but if one looks hard, sophomore guard Keyla Morgan could have had better luck from the field, being 0-4 in field goal attempts and 0-2 from the three-point line. Morgan more than made up for the miscues by stacking up six boards total, with five of them being defensive rebounds.
UNSUNG HERO:
Freshman guard Terriell Bradley came off the bench to have a great opening game for the season with 10 total baskets. Terriell's aggressiveness was something the
Jayhawks needed in order to keep a steady rhythm, which will be key this season. At the postgame press' conference, coach Bonnie Henrickson commented on Bradley's aggressiveness.
"She's a playmaker and she finishes at the rim. I was impressed about how aggressive she was," Henrickson said.
Fort Hays State center Kate Lehman had a great performance with 17 points and six rebounds, and went 6-11 from the field goal range. Lehman helped the Tigers keep pace with the Jayhawks in the second half by scoring 11 points. A very impressive performance from a great competitor.
PLAYER KANSAS
COULDN'T CONTAIN:
MOVING FORWARD:
The Jayhawks need to play defense with their feet, avoid reach-in fouls and have better control over the ball. With 21 personal fouls and 24 turnovers, coach Henrickson says it's on the staff to teach the team how to keep the other team off of the free throw line. The team also needs to be more aware of their surroundings and have an eye down the court at all times. There were many missed opportunities throughout the game due to bad visibility on the ball han-
dler's part.
The Jayhawks had a solid season opening first half, raking in 43 points and 25 total rebounds. Gardner won the opening tip, leading to an easy layup that set the tone for the game. Gardner started the game out strong, scoring 12 points for the Jayhawks. Kansas had 12 turnovers while Fort Hays State had 10.
FIRST HALF SUMMARY:
Fort Hays State stepped onto the court as a brand new team in the second half, keeping pace with the lady Jayhawks both scoring 30 points. Kansas and Fort Hays State scrapped for a loose ball with players diving all over the floor, then the Jayhawks regained control and passed it over to Gardner for the easy layup. That play is a prime example as to how the Jayhawks had the edge the whole game. Fort Hays State guard Chelsea Mason was 4-12 from the field goal range and 2-7 from the arc. She was the second highest scorer for the Tigers, one point behind Lehman. Gardner was 5-11 from the field goal range and scored 11 total points and seven rebounds. Senior guard Natalie Knight had six points and three rebounds.
