Volleyball wins second consecutive invitational

Kansas volleyball won its second invitational of the year in the second week of its season, defeating Denver in four sets Saturday night to clinch the Pioneer Classic.
The Jayhawks won all three matches — only losing one set in the entire tournament — and improved their season record to 5-1.
Offensively, Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers, who ended each match with double-digit kills; she was the only player on the team to do so.
Albers was named the Pioneer Classic Most Valuable Player, which was the first MVP honor of her collegiate career.
"It feels great," Albers said. "I think several people in the tournament, let alone our team, deserved it, but it feels like a good accomplishment. So I'm very honored to receive it."
Joining Albers on the All-Tournament team was freshman setter Ainise Havili. Havili has made her second All-Tournament team after doing so last weekend. She set a new career high with 55 assists
against Denver, ending the tournament with 129 overall.
"I'm just a setter, so the only way I can get All-Tournament team is if the rest of the team performs," Havli said. "So I think that shows a lot on their part as well."
After sweeping both Bradley and Sam Houston State, the Jayhawks faced Denver on Saturday night to determine the winner of the invitational.
--and senior Bryce Brown. Peck led the Jayhawks with the best round of the weekend, finishing in a tie for seventh with one under par. He had the third-best single round Sunday with 68 strokes, including six birdies.
"...we stepped up and got a service ace at a key time and got some huge blocks from Chelsea Albers to end it."
Kansas once again started the match in blazing fashion, taking the first set 25-15.
Unlike Bradley and Sam Houston State, Denver did not go down quietly.

Volleyball coach
The Pioneers went point for point with Kansas the next two sets, falling 24-26 in the second set before winning the third set by the same score.
In the fourth set, both teams tried to gain the lead, but the set stayed close throughout.
Down 21-22 and threatened with a dawning fifth set, coach Ray Bechard called a timeout to regroup his squad. The timeout did the trick as the Jayhawks rallied four points straight to win the set 25-22 and win the invitational.

"It's going to be tight in the end," Bechard said. "And we stepped up and got a service ace at a key time and got some huge blocks from Chelsea Albers to end it."
"Ever since I came in as a freshman, I really wanted to make my mark on the Kansas volleyball program," McClinton said. "So I think that would help me leave my thumbprint on the volleyball program. And that's one of the goals, to keep moving up."
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton had a special moment in the tournament as well, reaching the 1,000-kill milestone during the Jayhawks first match against Bradley.
Now McClinton needs just 118 more kills on the season to move into the top 10 of Kansas career kills list.
Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers prepares for a new play during Kansas' game against Creighton on Aug. 30. This weekend at the Pioneer Classic tournament in Denver, Albers was named the Most Valuable Player, giving her the first MVP honor of her collegiate career.

Kansas men's golf finished in third place in the Wolverine Intercollegiate over the weekend in an 11-team field in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The team didn't finish in the top-three in any tournament last year and was just one stroke away from tying for second, shooting four over par for the tournament and an even-par 281 in the final round on Sunday.
Kansas had three players finish in the top-10 — juniors Connor Peck and Ben Welle
Welle and Brown were in a three-way tie for ninth place, shooting an even par. Brown led the Jayhawks in the individual portion with a score of 213 and even par.
"We played good today,but not quite good enough to finish second," coach Jamie Bermel said. "Connor Peck and Ben Welle played well. Bryce Brown
played as an individual and also played real solid."
"We played good today, but not quite good enough to finish second."
JAMIE BERMEL Men's golf coach
Kansas sat at third place after Saturday's two rounds and sustained its position after Sunday's final round had ended.
The other golfers who
helped pull out a victory included senior Logan Philley, sophomore Chase Hanna and freshman Brock Drogosch.
Philley finished tied for 23rd with a score of 217 (+4), Hanna tied for 32nd shooting 220 (+7) and Drogosch tied for 42nd with a 222 (+9).
Kansas will go on to play in the Ram Masters Invitational in Fort Collins, Colo., on Sept. 16-17. The team finished eighth in the event last season.
"I hope we can tighten up a few things this week before we head to Colorado," Bermel said.
