CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Jayhawks tied the score in the 79th minute, when senior forward Hilla Rantala scored off an assist by freshman midfielder Stacey Leeper and sent the game to overtime.
The score remained tied until the 120th minute, when Illinois midfielder Christine Sinak headed a free kick into the corner of the net and
gave Illinois the victory.
Despite the loss, Francis said he saw several positives in the team's effort on Sunday.
"Illinois is a very good team," Francis said. "I think on any given day, if we show up, we can play with anybody. I really think that, Games like that, you've got to learn from it and go on."

The Jayhawks opened up the season on Friday with a 4-2 victory against North Texas, a team they had never before beaten.
"Overall, I was pretty happy," Francis said. "Over a 90-minute period, I think we played well."
North Texas had a 2-1 lead at halftime, with the Jayhawks' only first-half goal coming from freshman forward Monica Brothers in the 17th minute.
Senior forward Natalie Hoogeld tied the score in the 62nd minute off an assist by senior midfielder Melanie Schroeder.
Freshman forward Amy Geha provided the game-winning goal in the 73rd minute, with Brothers and Rantala contributing the assist.
Junior midfielder Brooke Jones sealed the victory with a score in the 85th minute.
"I think the biggest positive for me was the character that we showed when we went behind and then came back, then went behind again and came back again," Francis said. "Psychologically, that's tough."
The Jayhawks travel to San Diego this weekend to take part in the San Diego State Invitational. They play Nevada-Las Vegas on Friday before battling San Diego State on Sunday. Despite coming off of a tough loss, Francis said he wasn't concerned about his squad's ability to rebound.
"This group is very resilient," Francis said. "When things go against them, they bounce back really quickly. I think they will be fine."
Mason said the team wouldn't be phased by the loss to Illinois.
"We're going to do well in San Diego," she said. "We're going for two wins. We need to practice hard and get it together before we leave."
