After a weeklong break, the Kansas tennis team returned to action in the Hoosier Classic in Bloomington, Ind.
The team ended its three-day competition yesterday with singles matches against Indiana. Sophomore Paige Brown and freshman Jamie Lang shined for the Jayhawks as they won both their singles matches. Lang had
no trouble getting past Sophie Rychlik, 6-0, 6-1, and Brown defeated Linda Tran in a three-set match, 3-6, 6-4, 1-0.
"Paige Brown had a breakthrough weekend," coach Kilmeny Waterman said. "She won all her singles and played very well beating the top player from Indiana."
Saturday saw the Jayhawks struggle in singles but go undefeated in doubles play.
Junior Courtney Steinbock lost a tough match against Erica
Freshman Christine Skoda was also defeated in a three set battle against Lindsay Bryan, 4-6, 6-2, 1-0.
Fisk from Oklahoma State , 2-6, 6-3, 1-0.
Kansas would bounce back in doubles by winning all five matches against Iowa and Indiana.
On Friday, Brown, Steinbock and Skoda all gained crucial singles victories against Iowa. Steinbock and Skoda were the only Jayhawks to win in doubles play
by defeating Sarah Batty and Dominika Waterova of Indiana 9-7.
Overall Kansas finished the weekend with a 4-11 singles record and 8-3 in doubles play.
"It was really positive weekend for almost everyone on the team," Waterman said. "We made some real advances in our mental game, and with a little more confidence, we would have won a lot more matches."

After breaks from action, both the men's and women's golf teams will hit the links today in three-round tournaments.
The men will tee off today at the Purina-Missouri Bluze Classic in St. Charles, Mo. The first two rounds will be played this afternoon, and the final round will be played tomorrow morning.
Starting the tournament for the Jayhawks will be senior Chris Marshall, junior Tyler Hall, sophomore Andrew Price and freshmen Peter Krsnich and Ryan Rainer.
The team is looking to continue improving as the fall season hits the final stretch. In their last outing, the Jayhawks placed second as a team at the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf Club. In the individual standings, Marshall finished second behind Baylor University's Ryan Baca.
In the 14-team field, five Big 12 teams will be in competition including the University of Missouri, who will host the tournament.
The women's team is steadily showing improvement under first-year coach Megan Menzel. After almost two weeks without playing in a tournament, the Jayhawks will compete in the Shootout at the Legends of Indiana Golf Club in Franklin, Ind.
The three-round tournament will take the same format as the men's tournament in Missouri.
Heather Rose and Kristy Straub, along with junior Jennifer Bawanan and freshmen Tiffany Woods and Chelsey Pryor.
Competing for Kansas will be seniors Tifanny Kruggel,
So far under Menzel, the team has recorded two top-15 finishes, as well as two top-15 individual performances from Bawanan and Kruggel.
"Coach Menzel is doing a great job of getting us ready to play," Kruggel said. "We all seem more relaxed and confident going into a tournament. The biggest thing that I see is that we are all having fun."
In its last outing at the Chip-
N-Club invitational in Lincoln,
Neb., the team finished eighth.

Jayhawks lost each game by two points (34-32, 33-31, 30-28). This is the second conference loss for the team, both of which both were 3-0 sweeps and to Texas teams. Kansas lost at Texas A&M on Sept. 18.
Junior Sarah Rome led the
team with 15 kills and 11 digs, earning her fourth double-double this season. Freshman middle blocker Josiane Lima had 12 kills.
Sophomore libero and defensive specialist Jill Dorsey, with 10 digs, was the only other Jayhawk with double-digit digs.

The Jayhawks start a threematch home stand against Iowa State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
