Kansas soccer scores win despite wind, cold and mud

The weather was miserable. The field was destroyed. The game was ugly. The players were cold, tired, wet and covered in freezing mud.
The Jayhawks, with the help of an unlikely hero and an even more unlikely goal, beat Iowa 3-2 yesterday at Super Target Field in Kansas' last home game of the season.
The win came after Kansas lost Friday to Southwest Missouri State 3-2 and pushed the Jayhawks' record to 5-12-1.
"I told the players at halftime that they would feel a lot warmer and a lot better if we ended up on the positive side of the game," head coach Dan Magner said. "We worked hard enough to deserve the victory. I give Iowa credit though, they have some quality players and played hard."
The Jayhawks took an early 1-0 lead when senior Audra Henderson scored at the 1:05 mark. Freshman Colleen Colvin received the assist. Henderson's goal was the first of her collegiate career and came on her last home game as a Jayhawk.
"It was my goal all season to score," Henderson said. "I had never scored before, so it was nice to have it happen on Senior Day."
Christy Clark, the team's leading scorer, was happy to see the seniors go out with a win and for Henderson to get her first goal.
"I was excited. We all were," Clark said. "Like Coach said, it is all about heart and desire. The seniors have worked their butts off for three years."
Kansas extended its lead when junior Jen Silvers collected a ball in the box, turned and beat Hawkeyes goalkeeper Gabe Mauren. Colvin picked up the assist, her second of the game.
Iowa responded three minutes later when forward Beth Oldenburg scored the Hawkese' first goal.
The Jayhawks were unable to capitalize on their first-half wind advantage, and the score remained 2-1 heading into the second half.
With wind at their backs, the Hawkeyes applied pressure on Kansas goalkeeper Jen Fecke. Iowa tied the score at 53:55 when it scored on a penalty kick after a Sarah Korpi hand-ball violation. Korpi, who intentionally used her hands to keep an Iowa shot from going in, was issued a red card. Korpi will be ineligible to play for one game.
"The referee really had no choice but to give her the card," Magner said.
Kansas kept the score tied until the end of regulation. Twelve minutes into the first overtime, the Jayhawks captured the victory when an Iowa defender, attempting to clear the ball, headed a shot into her goal. The game ended with Kansas winning 3-2.
Kansas swim teams making waves

Kansas swimmers and divers returned from the Big 12 Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., Saturday with a better knowledge of where they stand in the conference and what they need to work on for the year.
The women's team placed fourth, and the men's team placed fifth at the relay meet on Friday night. The individual events on Saturday were not scored.
The women's team was victorious in the 3 x 100 breaststroke relay for the second consecutive year.
The other Big 12 teams competing were Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa State, Texas and Texas A&M.
Kansas swimming coach Gary
Kempf said he was pleased with the effort and attitude of the team but that it still had room to improve.
"We had some really good individual performances," Kempfsaid. "But we need to work on becoming a really good team."
Both teams had individual champions during Saturday's events. Senior breaststroker Kristin Nilsen led the women's team with victories in the 200 and 400 individual medleys and the 100 breaststroke. Nilsen placed second in the 200 breaststroke.
Nilsen said the races this weekend helped her see where she was in her training and how she compared to conference competition.
"The meet was a good beginning," she said. "My performance gives me a road map to follow for reaching my goals for the season."
Sophomore freestyle Tyler Painter scored three victories for the men's team, while sophomore breaststrooker Brandon Chestnut scored two. Painter won the 1650 freestyle, the 500 freestyle and the 400 individual medley. Chestnut won the 100 and 200 breaststroke.
In the 100 breaststroke, Chestnut defeated Jay Schindler from Iowa State, who placed third at the NCAA Championships last year. Chestnut said he didn't really know what to expect for the rest of the season.
"These are the fastest in-season times I've ever had in my life," he said. "I feel a lot more confident in my abilities, and I'm ready to race again to see where I can go."
The Jayhawks will be competing Saturday at College Station, Texas, in a dual meet against Texas A&M.
