The men's golf team competed in the Herb Wimbley Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M. this week. The team took home fifth place after falling just short of Nevada for fourth place. The Jayhawks were led strongly by junior Alex Gutesha, who shot a final round score of even par 71 to place eighth individually.
This score came the day after he posted a career best 18-hole score of 66.
Gutesha found success on the par fives at the New Mexico golf course.
"The par fives
have good feelings when I get here and I expect to play well."
are fairly short, so you can take advantage of them if you hit a good drive," said Gutesha. "My first and fourth holes were par fives. I just played them the way you're supposed to. I played here in two tournaments before college, so I'm pretty familiar with the course. I know where I have to miss, so I feel comfortable. I
Kansas also had four other golfers place in the top 30 at this tournament. Junior Chris Gilbert shot a three-round collective score of 213 to place 18th. Senior Doug Quinones posted a score of 70 in the final round to earn him 26th place. After a strong start of shooting a consecutive round of 69 strokes, junior Paul Harris shot

Coach Kit Grove was very pleased with how his team played and is excited for what is to come for the spring season.
"Doug, Chris and Alex went out and played pretty sold golf today," said Grove. "For the three of them to get around the course at even-par is good."
positive stuff for us. Obviously, yesterday was our best day of the year. We got a good team effort; nine of our 10 scores were 74 or better. At the end of the day, you look at the board and see that Nevada nipped you by one, and that's disappointing, but the week as a whole was much better than the last two events. That allows us to end on a positive note going into the spring."
"We did a lot of stuff well, but obviously there are a lot of things we have to work on," said Grove. "They're going to need to put in the time in the offseason. We have to get sharper. They've got to continue to do the stuff that we've been working on the past couple weeks through the offseason."
Grove also knows that the team has a lot to improve on before the spring season.
The Jayhawks will be on a short hiatus until they kick off their spring season on March 5 where they will compete in the Louisiana Classic in Lafayette, La.

Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc scores in a game earlier this season. Kansas will face Iowa State on Wednesday in Ames, Iowa.
Volleyball coach Ray Bechard disagrees with Iowa State's top 15 ranking.
In fact, he thinks the Cyclones are not getting enough respect from his fellow coaches.
"No question, no question about it," Bechard said. "I don't think they do anything to physically overwhelm you, but they're extremely functional in what they do. They're very efficient."

The Jayhawks (13-8, 1-7) will face the No. 14 Cyclones (16-3, 7-1) at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Ames, Iowa.
On the heels of their first conference victory of the year on Saturday, the Jayhawks will try to dethrone the first-place Cyclones. Iowa State is ranked No. 3 in the NCAA's Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) but falls 11 spots lower in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll.
"I think they've got a great chance to not only take the conference but extend it through the NCAA tournament," Bechard said.
The Cyclones swept the Jayhawks on Sept. 28 in Lawrence. Sophomore libero Brianne Riley, who had 13 digs and a service ace in only three sets in the first contest, said the Jayhawks know what to expect from the Cyclones this time around.
"I think the first time we played Iowa State, we truly didn't give them our best effort," Riley said. "We're all ready, and we have a lot of confidence this time."
The Jayhawks will play through sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who was recognized

"I think the message Monday was in no way can we be content or satisfied." Bechard said. "We've met very few of our goals in the first half of the Big 12. We won our last match and that's a good feeling, but we should be hungrier now more than ever."
"We're definitely focusing on not relaxing at this point," Jarmoc said. "One win is just one win, and we need to continue it. It's almost a more intense and aggressive attitude now."

Beachard said Jarmoc and junior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree have given the Jayhawks a certain comfort level when it
