Monica Spencer wouldn't let something like a little sprained ankle keep her from playing Friday night in the Kansas women's volleyball team's final home match of the season.
Spencer, a settter, had sprained her left ankle during practice. Nine

her left ankle during practice Nov. 5. She missed the three matches Nov. 6-7 in Colorado, but played two of the three games Wednesday night against Nebraska.
Kansas women's volleyball coach Frankie Albizt said she thought Spencer was between 80 to 90 percent effective with the condition of her ankle. The ankle was taped and Spencer was wearing an aid, but said the ankle was getting sore toward the end of the match.
"The trainers were being a little more cautious than I wanted them to be, but there were certain agility skills I couldn't do," said Spencer, who played all four games against Oklahoma.
"She did fairly well. It was hard for her to move." Albite said.
Kansas had the chance to take the second and third games, but couldn't hold onto the lead in either game.
In the third game, Oklahoma was ahead 15-14. But the Jayhawks gained a sideline and scored three runs in the second Spencer serving to win the game.
The Sooners took a big lead in the fourth game but Kansas rallied and came as close as 13-12.
"Our defense let a lot of balls drop and that made the difference," Albitz said. "They (Oklahoma) were sticking a lot of arms out, and we were trying to position ourselves. If the ball didn't come to us, it dropped."
But other than that, Albiz said she was pleased with the way the team played against both the Sooners and Nebraska on Wednesday.
"I hate to say this, but I think the tough schedule is beginning to show," Albizt said. "In our last two matches, we seem to be
steadying out and playing tough."
*Buying the out and playing tough.* Before the match the six seniors, Jesse Schoenke, Daniel Desch, Tammy Hill, Michelle Klone and Ridgeway were presented with flowers from the underclassmen and were introduced before the match. Each player was also presented with a

The Jayhawks will play Kansas State at 6 p.m. Friday in the first round of the Big Eight tournament. The tournament will be played Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Bicentennial Center in Salina.
