games be it think it would be a stretch for (her to play) Saturday." Bechard said. "Some of these injuries take their time and then all of the sudden they get better real quick."
Texas A&M is led by senior outside hitter Erin Lechler, who averages a team-best 3.78 kills per game. As a team, A&M has posted a .245 hitting percentage so far this season. The Aggies lead the Big 12 with 15.89 assists per game and 17.87 digs per game.

really friendly to them."
The Kansas volleyball team kicks off a three-game home stand at 7 tonight with a match against the Texas A&M Aggies. Kansas has never defeated the Aggies. The Aggies swept the Jayhawks in their last six matches dating back to 1997. Texas A&M is ranked No. 17 by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
"They're very steady and they're very balanced," coach Ray Bechard said. "It's hard to create a tendency list like you'd like to for each team. They really spread the ball around and come at all angles. I think the rally game is
Kansas, 12-7, and 2-6 in the Big 12 Conference, comes into the match having won its last contest against North Carolina State on Saturday. Meanwhile, Texas A&M, 12-3, 5-2, lost Sunday at home to No. 2 Nebraska. All three of A&M's losses have come at home.
"They have five seniors, and I think that they'll understand the importance of tomorrow's match and will be able to bounce back."
Junior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft recorded her 100th career service ace in the game against North Carolina State. Kraft needs six more aces to move into Kansas' all-time top-10 list in that category. She had two at home against the Aggies last year.
Senior setter Molly LaMere said she thought the trip to North Carolina was good for the team.
"It's always nice to have that break and that bye weekend in your conference season," LaMere

Sailing club ready to drift through season
By Kevin Flaherty
Kansan sportswriter
The University of Kansas Sailing Club has hoisted sail on a new season of racing. The sailing club is preparing to compete in New Orleans in a season that has already included stops in Dallas, Houston and Waco, Texas.
stops in Dallas, Houston and Miami. The team is suffering from a loss of talent because some members graduated. But, Chris Laborde, the club's captain, said the club was looking to become a force in the near future.
The University of Kansas Sailing Club hopes to produce three two-man racing teams, such as the crew above, this season. The club's next race is Saturday, Oct.27.
"This is a rebuilding season for us. We lost a lot of talent from last year," Laborde said. "This year we gained Rusty Morgan, a raw talent we're looking to develop this semester, and hopefully that will make us into a power for next semester."
Laborde said the club hoped to train three racing teams. Racing teams consist of two people per boat, a skipper and a "crew." The club members practice with three boats, a Lazer (a 14-foot, one-man boat), a 420 (a 14-foot, two-man boat), and a J22 (a 22-foot, three-man boat).
Labored said many skills were necessary to be a good sailor.
"It uses almost everything you have, a mix of athleticism, intelligence and patience." Laborde said. "You have to be quick of mind and have the reflexes and reaction speed to keep your boat from crashing."

Laborde said he would also like to teach a handful of new members to sail without assistance next semester.
Nick Linderer, Lenexa sophomore, said he enjoyed learning how to sail.
enjoyed learning "I've been around motorboats a lot," Linderer said. "I like the peace and quiet after the motorboats. It's such a precise sport, more like an art than something purely barbaric."
Laborde said he liked the escape that sailing offered from the rest of the world.
"Sailing involves so much of a person, he can't think about what's going on in his life," Laborde said.
The club's next race is Saturday, Oct. 27.
