An injury to freshman outside hitter Jana Correa and playing on the road didn't seem to faze the Kansas volleyball team.
Junior middle blocker Ashley Michaels had 11 kills and a .786 hitting percentage, and junior outside hitter Lindsey Morris had a team-high 15 kills, as Kansas defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 3-0 Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard was happy with the way the players kept their focus despite the injury.
Correa went down with an undisclosed injury in warm-ups and did not play in the match. Her status is uncertain.
"I was extremely excited the team pulled together and responded like they did," Bechard said.
Senior outside hitter Jordan Garrison replaced Correa in the lineup and contributed two kills, one dig and one block.
The Jayhawks (12-6 overall, 4-3 Big 12 Conference), were never challenged by the Sooners.
The Jayhawks won game one 30-25, and the Sooners (9-10, 1-5), got no closer, losing 30-19 in game two, and 30-23
in game three.
Senior outside hitter Sarah Rome notched a match-high 11 digs, giving her a career total of 1.006.
She became only the second Jayhawk to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in her career.
"Our blocking was much better tonight," Bechard said. "We served well, and our passing was OK."
The Jayhawks have now won five out of their last seven matches overall, and four in a row against Oklahoma. They still trail the all-time series 20-38.
The jayhawks hit .381 for the match and had three players with double-figure kills.
"Tonight was bittersweet, but we have a difficult match ahead of us, and are looking forward to battling it out with Texas A&M," Bechard said.
Now the team must wait and hope for good news about Correa. She is leading the team with 3.88 kills per game and has brought a lot of emotion to the court.
That match will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday, in College Station, Texas. The Aggies lead the all-time series with the Jayhawks 15-0.
