Sports briefs KU volleyball team takes 2nd in tourney
The Kansas volleyball team has a habit of warming up slowly, and this weekend it kept them from winning the Southwest Missouri State tournament championship.
Kansas finished second in the tournament with a 2-1 record behind Southwest Missouri State, moving its overall record to 16-3.
In the first match, the Jayhawks faced Southwest Missouri State and lost all three games, 15-8. 15-12, 15-5.
"We didn't play real well and they're a pretty good team," said KU head coach Frankie Albitz.
Kansas played Louisville in the second match, winning 15-2, 15-10, 15-13
Albitz said she did a lot of substituting in the match because she wanted to break away from using the same starting line-up.
In the final match, Kansas faced Kansas State. The Jayhawks beat the Wildcats for the fourth time this season, 15-6, 12-15, 15-12, 15-11
"I used a lot of substitutes again in the last match." Albizt said. "I thought we might let down on them since we've already beat them."
The Jayhawks' next match will be against Iowa State at 8 p.m. Friday at Allen Field House.
Rugby team gets 1st
The Kansas rugby varsity team was forced to play on a field of mud this weekend but still managed to finish in first place at the Missouri-Rolla rugby tournament.
Kansas won the first match against Rolla 9-8 on Saturday. Junior kicker Paul King scored a penalty kick, then came back to score the game-winning try along with the conversion.
In the second match, Kansas shut out Missouri 6-0. Neither team managed to score in the first half, but senior Sean Daw scored a try midway through the second half, and King kicked for the conversion.
The Kansas senior reserve team also competed in the tournament, winning their first match 12-6 against Southeastern Missouri State.
The senior reserve lost its second match 22-0 against Missouri. Three teams scratched from the tournament because of bad weather
Saturday, the varsity team will play at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo., and the club and senior reserve teams will play in Topeka.

Wet conditions kept the men's cross country team from competing, and poor marking of the course made the women's cross country meet a mess at a cross country meet in Stillwater, Okla. this weekend.
Rain, course conditions create problems
By BRIAN SNYDER
The Kansas men's team planned to compete at the Oklahoma State Jamboree yesterday but was unable to drive to Stillwater because the roads were washed out.
Sports writer
Kansas women's head coach Cliff Rovelto said that because the course at the Oklahoma State Jamboree wasn't marked correctly, some of the runners ran up to a quarter of a mile too far in the women's race Saturday.
"The first 12 runners finished on the normal course," he said yesterday. "There was a gap between the 12th and 13th runners. At an intersection where the runners should have run
'There was a gap between the 12th and 13th runners. At an intersection where the runners should have run straight, the 13th through about the 40th runner turned right and ran about a quarter of a mile further.'

Freshman Michelle Foran was the top Kansas runner and finished in 13th place. The other KU runners and their finishing places were further."

Freshman Kelly Coffey said that the unexpected detour was because of unfamiliarity with the course.
"The mistake really didn't matter," Coffey said last night. "The positions of the runners weren't changed."
Because runners ran different courses, the times became meaningless. Rovelto said.
Rovello said he was happy that his runners experienced the wet and muddy conditions at Saturday's meet. Those same conditions could face the team at the Big Eight Conference Championships on Nov. 3 in Manhattan.
and Kansas State was second with 35. Kansas was third with 92 points.
sopnomore Jodie McDonald, 14th; freshman Kelly Coffey, 17th; junior Trisa Mangan, 22nd; freshman Julie Howerton, 26th; and junior Angie Helmer, 28th.
Oklahoma State won the meet with 20 points
Coffey said that sophomore Melissa Satterfield, one of the team's top runners, didn't compete in Saturday's meet because Rovelto wanted to give her a week off.
Kansas men's track head coach Bob Timmons said yesterday he was surprised that the meet was held because the rain made the course hazardous to the runners. It wasn't worth taking the risk of injury in a meet that wasn't as important as future ones, he said.
