Soccer team to face Missouri at tournament

The Kansas men's club soccer team concluded its regular season and has now turned its attention to the regional tournament.
The Jayhawks will travel to the University of Missouri for the Region IV North Soccer Championships. They open the tournament facing the hosts, the Missouri Tigers on Friday Oct. 28 at 8:30 p.m. This is the first meeting of the year between the rivals. Junior defenseman and coach of the team, Jeremy Chabot, remembers the last match with Missouri as a tough test.
"They are a very physical team and always play us really hard," Chabot said.
The following day, on Saturday, the team will play a double-header against the University of Oklahoma and Truman State University. First, the Jayhawks will square off against the Oklahoma Sooners at 11 a.m. and then finish with Truman St. at 4 p.m. This is the first time the Jayhawks have played either of these teams. In practice, the Jayhawks are building on teamwork and are focusing on staying positive about their upcoming match-ups.
"Coming into these games we just
need to maintain a positive attitude in difficult situations throughout the game," said Josh Magness, a senior defenseman from Overland Park.
The tournament consists of eight universities and is split into two different pools of teams. The teams play one game against each team in its pool on Friday and Saturday. The top two teams in each pool at the end of the first two days advance to play on Sunday at 11 a.m. in the semifinals. The winners of those matches advance to the regional championship match on Sunday at 4 p.m.
The men's club soccer team has experienced highs and lows this season on its road to the regional tournament. The team struggled to score goals on offense at the beginning of the season but improved as the season went on, winning their final game. The Jayhawks look to carry this late-season surge into the tournament.
"We got off to a really slow start this season until we hit our groove towards the end," said Taylor Lawson, a center defenseman. "We need to play smart and get back to playing soccer the way we know how. If we do that we will be fine."

The volleyball program saw one of its biggest collapses in a heartbreaking loss to Texas A&M, and it was the beginning of a 1-5 stretch that has put the team's postseason chances in question. Worst of all, it happened at home.
Fortunately for the Jayhawks, they have a chance to return the favor this Sunday against the Aggies.
The layhawks (13-9, 1-8) travel to College Station, Texas, to take on the Aggies (16-5, 5-3) at 2 p.m. in Kansas' only Sunday game of the season. The Jayhawks will try for their second conference win of the season and to avenge their five-game Oct. 8 loss. The final score on that day was 25-14, 25-19, 25-27, 22-25, 13-15.
In Big 12 play, the Aggies have won all four of the five-game matches they've played, including the victory against the Jayhawks. In the game on Oct. 8, Kansas finished with more kills, service aces, digs and blocks and had a higher attack percentage. Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had a career-high 16 kills, but it was the Aggies rallied and escaped Lawrence with a win.

NBA
Beasley countersues agent over benefits
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley is accusing his former agent and an AAU coach of conspiring to forge a relationship with him from the age of 14 and giving his mother improper cash benefits while Beasley starred at Kansas State, all in an effort to land the basketball prodigy as a client.
Beasley laid out the allegations in a lawsuit filed in Maryland a month ago in response to agent Joel Bell's wrongful termination lawsuit against him. Beasley said Bell gave his mother living expenses when he went to school there, which would likely violate NCAA rules and federal regulations governing sports agents.
The Associated Press left messages for attorneys representing Beasley and Bell seeking comment. Both an attorney for AAU coach Curtis Malone and Malone himself vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
"The allegations of impropriety against Mr. Malone are baseless as a matter of law and he denies them," attorney Bill Heyman said.
A Kansas State spokesman wrote in an email to the AP that the school is aware of the lawsuit "but at this time we have no further information on which to comment." The allegations were first reported by The Washington Post.
The lawsuit states that Beasley grew up in a poor, single-person household in the Washington, D.C. area and often struggled with behavioral and academic issues, which led to him attending six high schools in five years. But he also quickly grew into one of the most promising schoolboy players in the country, teaming up with friend Kevin Durant on a formidable AAU team.
When that team folded, Malone invited Beasley to join his D.C. Assault team. The lawsuit said that Beasley's mother, Fatima Smith, did not have the money to pay for her son to play. But Malone told Smith that adidas sponsored his team and she would not have to pay for Beasley to join or any trips be taken.
Malone and Beasley developed a close relationship, with the coach taking the player into his home to let him live with him for five years before college, the lawsuit says.
All the while, the lawsuit alleges, Bell was giving Malone's team financial support in the hopes that Malone would steer his best players to the agent for representation if they ever needed it.
