Lindsey Morris seemed to experience déjà vu last night.
In her first start of the season, the sophomore outside hitter led the Kansas volleyball team with 13 kills in a 3-0 (30-20, 30-26, 30-16) victory against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa.
been rotating in and out in each match this season."
The last time Morris led the Jayahawks in kills was at Iowa State a year ago with, surprise, 13.
The Jayhawks, who are 16-5 overall and 7-5 in the Big 12 Conference, earned their second consecutive victory and sixth straight against the Cyclones, 10-14 overall, and 1-11 in the Big 12. This is the third straight year that Kansas has swept the Cyclones in Ames.
"I wasn't surprised that I got "the start," Morris said. "We've
Junior outside hitter Sarah Rome registered her seventh double-double this season with 11 kills and a match-high 15 digs.
The Jayhawks'.368 team hitting percentage is the highest this
season against a Big 12 opponent. Kansas had 12 service aces compared to Iowa State's one.
Coach Ray Bechard said both yesterday's win and Saturday's win at Oklahoma were critical.
"Even though these two teams are at the bottom of the conference, we needed these road wins in the conference," he said.
Kansas next will play Texas, which defeated the Jayhawks 3-0 earlier this year, at 7 p.m. Saturday at Horjesi Family Athletic Center.

Mangino was quick to point out that although Kansas State has had more losses on the road, it does not mean the Wildcats are a poor road team.
great, great team at home and they're a very good team on the road, but where they've encountered most of their problems is playing away from KSU Stadium," Mangino said.
Senior linebacker Leo Etienne said players were not likely to notice colors in the crowd.
Kansas' Memorial Stadium has 250 more seats than KSU Stadium, but purple-clad Kansas State fans will likely fill nearly half the stands on Saturday..
"When you're out on the field you don't really see the fans," Etienne said. "All you're going to hear is crazy fans going
"It's means that they're a
No matter which team the crowd is cheering for, Mangino and the Jawhaws realize they cannot count on a close game solely because Kansas State sometimes struggles on the road.
"We need a lot more than that to win the game, but it's one of the things we're looking at," Mangino said. "We feel like it gives us a chance to compete against them and have half a chance to win the ball game."

Baggy_slims then wrote, "Usually he's too busy drooling over women's soccer and volleyball" to write about the football team. Of course I am. All sports deserve coverage, but when your school's best teams are the ones that few people know about or watch in person, fans need to know. That's another job of the sports editor — educating readers, even those from rival universities.

written about football all year." Apparently, slims missed my column that congratulated K-State coach Bill Snyder for using junior college players to build his program to national prominence and that Kansas coach Mark Mangino should follow that lead. Slims also must have passed over my column taking Mangino to task for not suspending players who are facing criminal charges. Of course, that one ran on the opinion page, which may feature a vocabulary a few grade levels too high for Wildcat fans.

My favorite comment on the Wildcats board was from baggy slims. This K-State fan said, "This is the first time he's

coaches listed a top-six finish among their season goals.
"We'd like to finish in the top half of the conference," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Roberston said. "If we do that we know we can make the tournament."
Just discussing the issue of six or seven entries into the tournament shows how far the Big 12 has come in its seven years. Kansas coach Marion Washington said.
"Many of us knew that we could rival the SEC," she said, "and now that we have proved that, we are very optimistic about the future of this conference as a whole."
Last season, the SEC edged the Big 12 with eight invitations to the NCAA tournament, but the Big 12 led the nation in participants advancing to the NCAA regionals with five. The feat broke the old Big 12 record of four set the previous season.
