KU pitcher plays well with pain

Softball pitcher Roanna Brazer's arm is just fine. Sure, it hurts a little bit, but it's in good enough shape to have helped Kansas to three of its four victories this fall.
Kansas softball pitcher Roanna Brazier, Moro, III, sophomore, works on the form that has helped Kansas to three of its four wins this season. The team was practicing at the softball field yesterday afternoon.
Brazier, 3-3, allowed four hits and struck out seven in a shutout against Iowa State on Sept. 12. In last weekend's Iowa State Invitational, the left-hander got two victories but was perhaps more impressive in a 1-0, eight-inning loss to Creighton.
"We pretty much had them shut out." Coach Kalum Haack said. "They weren't hitting it with any consistency. Brazer had them popping up and grounding out."
"I've seen them quite a bit," Brazier said. "After a while you learn what to pitch and where to throw. The coaches help a lot, too."
Haack wasn't sure if Brazier would be able to pitch in the tournament because she had tendinitis in her throwing arm. Brazier hadn't thrown for a week prior to
the tournament to avoid any extra strain.
"I didn't work on anything different," Brazier said. "I was just working on loosening up.
"It probably was, but I won't bet my life on it," she said. "The coaches were really concerned."
"The weekend before, it was hurting even when I was throwing okay. I felt better because I wasn't hurting. I could concentrate more on my throwing."
Brazier said the condition was probably the result of overuse.
Brazier will begin rehabilitation after this weekend's season-ending KU Invitational No. 3.
The sophomore from Moro, III., said she had pitched in a summer Amateur Softball Association program in nearby St. Louis for the past six years. Brazier played against KU teammate Gayle Laudek and several other Big Eight Conference players. She said her father coached most of her summer teams.
Brazier's sister, Annette, pitched for Missouri prior to her graduation last year. This summer, Annette played for St. Louis Espirit and Roanna played for St. Louis Voss Express.
"I have always hated playing against her because we're really close." Brazier said. "If I win, I feel bad and if she wins, she feels bad."
Both sisters pitched in Kansas' victory over the Tigers in the Big Eight Tournament last year.
Brazier, who was recruited by former coach Bob Stancill, said the main reason she chose Kansas was because Missouri didn't have a pitching coach on its staff. But she said she also wanted a chance to make a name for herself.
"I wanted to make a fresh start. Kansas just caught my eye," Braizer said. "The team, players and campus — everything was a plus. I considered Indiana, but there's no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice."
Soccer clubs to play at home
By a Kansan reporter
Because of the size of the Kansas women's soccer club, having enough players to play two home matches tomorrow will not be a problem
There are 43 players listed on the club roster, and Coach Kevin Connor said that 26 of them will play at least one match, either against Kansas State at 2 p.m. or Missouri State at 10 a.m. They will be at Shenk Complex, 23rd and 10a streets. K-State will meet Missouri Valley at 10 a.m. at the complex.
Connor said he tried to organize a four-tournament, but had to cut it back to a three-team round-robin tournament when one of the four teams, Wichita State, dropped its club program.
"Somebody was going to have to play two games in one day," Connor said of the 0-1 team. "Since we had the most people and we're the host, we thought it should be us."
Connor said 10 players would play both games and 16 players will be divided into two groups of eight who will play the two visiting teams.
The men's soccer team, 2-1, will play Johnson County Community College at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Overland Park. On Sunday, they will play Wichita State at 2 p.m. at Shenk Complex.
