centage, the highest for a Kansas opponent this season. Missouri had four players with double-digit kills, led by freshman outside hitter Shen Danru's match-high 15 kills.
It was the third match this season a Jayhawk did not record a double-double. Freshman middle blocker Josiane Lima led the team with six kills. Sophomore outside hitter Lindsey Morris had a team-high seven digs.
"We ran into a very aggressive serving team tonight and Missouri took us out of the contest early," coach Ray Bechard said. "MU may very well be the best team we've faced all year. It was a difficult night for us."
The Missouri Tigers gave the Jayhawks their fourth game without a double-double on Saturday. Junior outside hitter Sarah Rome led the team with 11 kills. Junior
outside hitter Abbie Jacobson was the only other Jayhawk with double-digit kills, recording 10. Senior defensive specialist Jennifer Kraft had a team-high 14 digs. Sophomore libero and defensive specialist Jill Dorsey had 11.
Three Wildcats had double-digit kills, including junior outside hitter Cari Jensen's match high 17 kills and junior middle blocker Lauren Goehring's 13. Lisa Martin recorded a .500 hitting percentage, with 12 kills out of 18 attempts and three hitting errors.
Kansas returns home to play No.4 Nebraska at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"It's frustrating that K-State was good out of transition, not that they blocked us so much," Jacobson said. "But when we blocked them, they ended the play with good heavy swings."

She was followed by Jenna Bimbi, freshman in 218th place with a time of 23:40. Senior Courtney Deutsch finished in 23:44 for 221st place.
The men (30-31, 3-2 Big 12) competed against 34 teams in the eight kilometer Blue race. Texas A&M was the only other Big 12 men's team at the meet.
Senior Mark Meneefee led the men's team with a time of 24:08 and a 10th place finish. Freshman Cameron Schwehr recorded a time of 25:41, placing 135th overall.

time of 27:05 in 228th place. Junior Steve Vockrodt, Kansan sportwriter, placed 235th over all and seventh for the team with a time of 29:08.
"Menefee had a strong finish for us and Laura did a good job leading the women," coach Stanley Redwine said. "Sometimes we learn more from what we do wrong than what we do right. This race was a good learning experience for us. There was a really good field running for both the races we participated in. So, now we know where we stand. This race will help us prepare better for the conference meet and regional competition."
The Jayhawks will compete in the Big 12 Championships Saturday in Columbia, Mo.

Quarterback Bill Whittemore is sandwiched by a herd of Aggie defenders. The Jayhawks managed only 86 total rushing yards Saturday, and Whittemore scored the only rushing touchdown.

Taylor and senior Bethel Johnson each had more than 100 yards receiving — 131 and 124 — and sophomore Terrance Murphy was close with 99. Each also had long plays of more than 45 yards.
Offensively, it was the third consecutive big win for an Aggie team better known for its stingy defense.
After the game, Taylor said he thought history might ultimately give the receivers their due respect.
"We talked about being the best receiving corps ever," Taylor said.
"We're moving up toward that now, and as the season progresses, if we can keep this up, there will be no doubt that we're the best group to ever come out of here."
As good as the Aggies' passing game could be in the future, the
key to the offense is the balance created by Derek Farmer, Taylor said.
Kansas put eight men on the defensive line in hopes of stopping the sophomore running back.
The result was one-on-one coverage for Texas A&M's receivers, and a long day for the Jayhawk secondary.

the Aggies' Wrecking Crew defense, which pressured him into seven sacks.
"Bill's a tough kid and there's times he takes hits and I cringe, but he's a playmaker," Mangino said. "We've got to use him."
I'm happy with the effort, and I've said it every week and you're tired of hearing me say it, and I'm tired of saying it."
Kansas will travel to Columbia, Mo., this Saturday in search of its first conference win.

Mangino will be in search of the consistency that he has worked to instill in his team.
"I'm happy with the effort, and I've said it every week and you're tired of hearing me say it, and I'm tired of saying it." Mangino said. "We're playing hard, but come on now, we've got to get it all together for four quarters, all three units making plays."

"It was real important for our team to come out and play well early," Francis said. "We needed to rebound from the Oklahoma game and we accomplished that by scoring four goals in the first half."
11 and 17 minutes into the game,
The second half saw sloppier play for the Jayhawks, with the team scoring once. Smith added her second goal of the game at the 85:43 mark. The goal marked the fifth goal in four games for Smith. The Jayhawks outshot the Bears 24-5.
"We needed someone to step
up for us and have a big weekend," Maggie Mason said. "Jessica did that for us. She is adjusting to the college level and is starting to get in her groove, and that will be real important for us down the road."
The Jayhawks dominated the first half of the game and outshot the Cyclones 9-1 but only managed to get a 1-0 lead out of the effort.
Smith continued her hot streak as her goal in the 68th minute helped the Jayhawks hold off the Cyclones 2-1.
Francis said the team played well in the beginning, which helped control the flow of the game. Later problems hurt the team, however, he said.
"We came out in the second half real flat and did not play to our potential," Francis said. "To compete in this conference in the near weeks we will have to play a complete game."
With the two wins, the Jayhawks improved to 11-2-3 and 4-2-1 in the Big 12 conference.
"It was nice to finally win both games in a weekend," Mason said. "It gave us some much-needed confidence heading into our big weekend in Texas."
The Jayhawks' next game will be at 7 p.m. Friday in Austin, Texas, where they will take on the Texas Longhorns.
