KANSAS WOMEN'S GOL Women's golf to play in Wichita today
With three top-15 finishes under its belt so far this fall, the women's golf team is still hungry as they go to Wichita for the Marilyn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Willowbend Golf Club.
The first 36 holes of the tournament will be played this afternoon, while the third and final round will take place tomorrow morning. Wichita State will host the tournament. Kansas State is the only other Big 12 Conference team in the competition.
In its last outing, the team finished 11th at the Shootout at the Legends in Franklin, Ind.
Under new coach Megan Menzel, the Jayhawks have finished no lower than 14th in their first three outings. They have been led by senior Tiffany Kruggel, who is on pace to break the school record for lowest average score per 18 holes in a season. Her current average of 76.33 strokes is ahead of the record of 78.20 strokes by Mandy Munsch during the 1998-1999 season.
"We just need a tournament that four people have good scores at the same time," Kruggel said. "If that happens then we will start beating other teams."

Twins, doubles partners lose in second round
The twin tandem of Kristen and Courtney Steinbock showed some grit in the Riviera All-American tournament Tuesday and Wednesday. The twins overcame a 7-2 deficit to win a tiebreaker defeating Jill Buckley and Amy Trefethen of Kentucky.
"It was a huge win for them," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "They got off to a slow start but really played well together to come from behind."
The Steinbocks struggled in the second round losing a close match to the No. 8-ranked Lilina Suurvarik and Alesia Mikalayeva of Illinois State.
The Jayhawks will travel to Tulsa,
Okla., for the Omni Regionals Oct. 24-27.

The Jayhawks won a mere five games and lost 25 last year, more losses than three different past Washington-coached teams had endured over a combined three-year stretch.
look at its record.
While Kansas' men's team was a perfect 16-0 in the Big 12 Conference, the women's team was as imperfect as possible, going 0-16.
Life lessons like that only make you stronger, right? Washington's sure hoping so. And really, things can't get much worse for the Jayhawks after last year.
That's why Washington is still here, her heart won't let her quit.
She wants to prove she's not too old, that the game hasn't passed her by.
But the one thing the ladies had was heart.
More than anything, she wants to do what she's always done — win, even though there are eight new women on the team, six of which are freshman.
But the women are talented. The freshman class was ranked in the top 25 by one recruiting service.
A video tribute honoring Washington played on four screens inside the Fieldhouse during Late Night With Roy Williams. It showed the woman who has been a staple of Kansas basketball
A simple five-minute tribute can't capture 30 years of lives changed, pride built, and basketball dreams fulfilled. It can't connect Washington's accomplished past to the successful future she wants to build for this team — winning a seventh conference championship and making the NCAA tournament a 12th time.
longer than even the beloved Williams.
That's her nature.
"I'm very excited about getting on the floor with them," Washington said.
Washington won't win the Big 12 this year, but she'll sure have fun trying.
All you have to do is look at her smile.

Only Devin West's 319 yards for Missouri in 1998 and Barry Sanders' 313 yards for Oklahoma State in 1988 were better.
He also moved into the top five on another list. Brown's output was the third-best single-game rushing total in Colorado history behind Rashaan Salaam (317) and Charlie Davis (342).
Brown said he had no idea that he was anywhere near the record books during the game.
"I thought I was at like one-something, 170," he said. "I was way off until they notified me after the game."
Colorado coach Gary Barnett said he couldn't be happier with his junior running back. Football fans have yet to see Brown's full potential, Barnett said.
"He just gets better and better," Barnett said. "What a stallion."
After the game with Kansas, Brown leads the nation in rushing with 164.5 yards per game. He also averages 7.0 yards per carry. He averaged 12.4 yards per carry against the Jayhawks.
Brown's next test will come against the seventh-ranked defense in the Big 12 when he and the Buffaloes meet Baylor on Saturday.
