Kansas goes 3-1 at Hawkeye Classic
Jayhawks split with host Iowa sweep Western illinos to end fall season 7-1
BY THOMAS POWERS

Kansas ended its fall season 7-1 after going 3-1, beating Western Illinois twice and splitting with Iowa, in this past weekend's Hawkeye Classic. On Saturday, the Jayhawks shut out the Western Illinois Westerwinds 4-0 and then took their first loss of the season, losing to the Iowa HawKEYes 4-2. Sunday proved to be the better day of the tournament as Kansas beat Western Illinois 6-3 and then Iowa 5-2.
Kansas faced its first Division I opponents of the 2008-2009 season during the Hawkeye Classic. Head coach Tracy Bunge was pleased with her team's performance but hinted on a few things the Jayhawks will need to work on before their spring season.
"We got a chance to get some playing time in for everybody on our roster. Offensively I think we played very well, we consistently kept the ball in play but we left a lot of runners on base. We had many opportunities to score more runs than we did; on Saturday we left 12 runners stranded that were in scoring position."
Seniors Elle Pottert and Val Chapple led the offensive charge for the Jayhawks with Pottert
going 7-12 for the weekend with three doubles and four RBIs and Chapple hitting 5 for 11 including a 2-run home run off of a
Chapple
change up in Sunday's 5-2 win over Iowa.
Valerie George pitched both games against a solid Iowa line-up that returned 13 players from a 2008 team that finished third in the Big Ten conference and appeared in both the Big Ten championship and the NCAA Iowa City Regional Championship. Coach Bunge commented on the loss:
"The loss was a learning moment, Iowa is a good team and they just found a way to get it done. As a team we reflected on the loss and tried to figure out what the Hawkeyes did better than us and I think it came down to executing with 2 outs and executing with runners in scoring position. We improved on both aspects in our win during the match on Sunday."
Kansas isn't scheduled to play again until February 6th when it travels to Phoenix to participate in the Kajikawa Classic hosted by Arizona State, where they will face Texas El-Paso, Arizona, Northwestern, Stanford and Nevada.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Herm Edwards came up to John Fox an hour before kickoff and gave him a hearty bear hug. The former college teammates then exchanges stories and laughs.
Panthers shut out Chiefs for first time in six years
But the second matchup of the ex-San Diego State defensive backs was no fair fight: Fox has the Carolina Panthers looking like an NFC contender, and Edwards' Kansas City Chiefs are still clearly rebuilding, no matter what happened last week.
DeAngelo Williams had 123 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns and the Panthers held Larry Johnson to 2 yards rushing in a 34-0 win Sunday.
"It's been awhile since we've had a game like this," said Fox, after Carolina's most lopsided win in team history.
The Panthers (4-1), who have missed the playoffs the past two seasons, are off to their best start since reaching the Super Bowl in the 2003 season. It was one of their most dominating performances since they crushed the Edwards-coached New York Jets 30-3 in 2005 on the way to reaching the NFC championship game.
"I didn't see that coming at all. We were a confident team after last week's game," Edwards said of the Chiefs (1-4), who routed Denver to end a franchise-record 12-game losing streak. "Then we come in here and we acted like we've never played before."
It was the first time in six years that the Chiefs were shut out.
You can't blame Edwards if he wants no part of another game against Fox.
Williams also had a 10-yard TD run and caught a 25-yard TD pass from Delhomme in a dominating first half that saw the Chiefs manage one first down and 29 yards.
