Senior's strong 'Finnish' propels team to 10th place in region
Forward honored for recent performances on soccer field
By Ryan Wood Kansan sportswriter
After being named tournament champions in San Diego, the Kansas soccer team continues to receive accolades.
Senior forward Hilla Rantala was named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced yesterday.
Rantala scored three goals in the Jayhawks' two victories in the San Diego State Invitational last weekend. Her game-winning goal against host San Diego State proved to be the only one of the game and propelled the Jayhawks to the tournament title.
Rantala, Finland native, has scored four goals and one assist in Kansas' first four games. Her nine points puts her on line to break the single season scoring record of 16, which she set in 1999.

The Jayhawks are ranked 10th in the Central Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
After an impressive two years at South Alabama, Rantala transferred to Kansas prior to her junior season. She was plagued with injuries upon arrival, missing five games in 1999 with a fractured bone in her shin and high ankle strain. She sat out the 2000 campaign with a medical redshirt and had multiple knee surgeries following the season.

Kansas (3-1), is off to its best start in school history. The team meets St. Louis University at 4 p.m. Friday at SuperTarget Field. They close out the weekend at 1 p.m. Sunday with a home match against Drury University.
Coach Mark Francis said he was pleased to see Rantala back at the top of her game after her injury
last year.
"It's good to see her healthy," Francis said. "When Hilla is healthy like she is right now, she's dangerous. She wanted to finish on a good note and she's definitely on track to do that right now."
