Kansas goalkeeper Meghan Miller made a fingertip save on a Texas shot during the Jayhawks' defeat on Oct. 3. After two victories last weekend, the Jayhawks stand in fifth place in the Big 12 Conference.

The Big 12 Conference soccer race is still a toss-up with less than half the season remaining
Kansas is 11-3-1 on the season and 3-2-1 in the Big 12. After placing seventh in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, the Jayhawks currently stand in fifth place with four conference games remaining.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said the conference was up for grabs right now.
The Jayhawks played to a 1-1 tie with Texas A&M two weeks ago.
"Anybody can beat anybody," he said. "It doesn't matter who it is on paper, you have to show up to play."
The team travels to Colorado and Nebraska this weekend and will play Oklahoma and Oklahoma State at home with a game
The Jayhawks have a tough road ahead of them, playing three of the top four teams in the conference to finish out the season. Colorado sits in first place, in front of Nebraska, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State.
"It doesn't matter who it is on paper, you have to show up to play."

at Michigan in between. The Jayhawks should fare well in the conference if they are able to win the two road games.
"It's going to be as tough as it gets on the road," Francis said. "But we won two games on the road this weekend, so there's no reason why we can't do it again."
The team knows it has to finish strong, said Meghan Miller, Kansas goalkeeper. Conference match-ups have been strange so far, with some teams losing to teams they shouldn't, she said.
Teams such as Baylor, Texas Tech and Missouri have surprised the top teams in the conference.
"Every team is good and we have to play our best in every game," Miller said.
Kansas defeated Iowa State 2-
0 Friday and Missouri 2-0 Sunday. The victory over Missouri gives Kansas a 6-1.5 lead in the Border War standings, which awards points for victories in all varsity sports. Missouri earned 1.5 points for winning the volleyball match-up.
Francis said it was nice for the team to contribute this year after not being able to last year.
"We contributed three points," he said, "and it was huge because football did their part."
Sunday's game against Missouri went scoreless until the 45th minute. Freshman defender Lacey Novak shot in a pass from junior forward Monica Brothers to record her first career goal.
the Jayhawks put the game out of reach for the Tigers in the 72nd minute on a corner kick.
Kansas sophomore forward Caroline Smith recorded her 14th goal of the season on an assist from junior midfielder Lauren Williams.
The Jayhawks play at 5 p.m. on Friday at Colorado and at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Nebraska.
