Soccer club team qualifies for national tourney
By Daniel Ferguson sports@kansan.com Special to the Kansan
The Kansas men's soccer club team has gone largely unnoticed by almost everyone on campus this season.
All it has done, while being in the shadows of the women's soccer team and other fall sports, is qualify for a national championship tournament.
The team qualified for the national tournament, which will be held Nov. 20-23 in Phoenix, as a result of its first place tie with Oklahoma in the 19th annual Kansas State Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer tournament last weekend in Manhattan.
There was a tie for first place because the three-day tournament was shortened because of heavy rains that forced the soccer fields at Manhattan's Frank Anneberg Recreational Complex to close.
"This is what we have been playing for all year," team captain Ian Gray said. "We knew if we could get all our players to show up that we had a great chance."
The team's first game of the tournament was Friday against the host team, Kansas State. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 4-3. Another of the Jayhawks' rivals, the Missouri Tigers, were the next opponent.
The Jayhawks' high-powered offensive attack continued to be successful as they came away with a 5-2 victory. The championship game between the Jayhawks and the Sooners was canceled because of miserable weather and field conditions. The tie between the two teams was determined on the basis of total wins and total goals.
Even though the Jayhawks have had trouble getting all their players together at the same time, Gray said he believed the team had a legitimate shot at bringing home a national championship.
"I feel we have a great chance," he said. "Our team has tons of experience, and if we were an inter-collegiate team, we'd probably be ranked in the top 10 in the nation."
Most of the team is made up of graduate students, like Gray, who have already played intercollegiate soccer. Gray played four years for

The University of Kansas does not have a varsity men's soccer team. If such a team existed, Gray said a few of the players, including himself, would not be eligible because of their prior experiences but also added that there were plenty of players that were ready to start a tradition of men's soccer on campus.
"That has basically been our goal all along." Gray said. "We have players with plenty of experience that could get the program off on the right foot."
