The Kansas soccer team had to wait 108 minutes on Friday for its revenge on Baylor.

The Jayhawks defeated the Bears 1-0 in the waning sunlight of double overtime to redeem last season's 2-1 loss. Kansas then lost to Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, yesterday. With the 3-2 loss, the Jayhawks' record sits at 9-2-0 overall and 1-1-0 in the Big 12 Conference. The loss to Texas Tech broke a record-tying six-game winning streak.
Friday's game-winning goal came from an unlikely contender.
Senior Kansas forward Carmel Kaplinger had no goals before the Baylor game and didn't make an appearance until the start of the first overtime period.
After missing opportunities during the first overtime, Kansas rushed the Baylor goal in a hurried attempt to finish the game near the end of the second overtime period.
Sophomore Kansas forward Caroline Smith took a shot on goal that deflected off of a Baylor defender to Kaplinger. Kaplinger then took two shots from a few feet in front of the goal, which Baylor goalkeeper Monica Housden deflected.

Kaplinger's third-and-final shot rolled over the goal line, giving the Jayhawks the sudden death overtime victory. Kaplinger said she didn't remember how it all happened.
"It was mass commotion," she said. "I just remember it went through the defender's legs and kind of shot in."
The Jayhawks had plenty of opportunities to put the Bears away, but they were unable to finish their early chances. Kansas out-shot Baylor 27-9. Kansas forward Rachel Gilfillan started the Jayhawks off early with a shot that clanked off the crossbar in the seventh minute. Gilfillan junior, finished the game with nine shots.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said the Jayhawks should have finished the game in regulation.

"And we had a couple of really good chances we didn't put away."
Francis said the Jayhawks let the Bears back in the game after about 20 minutes. He said Kansas should have been down by one at halftime because of a defensive mistake. Baylor had a couple of chances in the first half when Kansas goalkeeper Meghan Miller went one-one with a Baylor forward twice. One shot went over the crossbar and the other went wide left.
Miller, Seattle junior, had four saves and recorded her fifth shutout of the season.
Some Jayhawks will be nursing their wounds for a few days, as the game became very physical in the second half.
Kansas defender, senior Maggie Mason, hurt her ankle early in the second half and had to leave the game. Junior Gabriela Quiggle rolled her ankle with 30 seconds left in regulation and also left the game. Twenty seconds later Miller and junior Kansas defender Stacy Leeper both went down as Baylor desperately tried to put in the game winning goal. Miller stayed in for the final six seconds of regulation. Leeper left the game but returned in the first overtime.
Francis said the victory was a test of character for the Jayhawks.
"In overtime it's always who wants it a little bit more, and I thought we did a good job of pressing them in overtime," he said.
The Jayhawks face a tough conference weekend, meeting the University of Texas at 5 p.m. Friday and Texas A&M at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Both games are at SuperTarget Field on West 19th Street.
