Positions not guaranteed for experienced players
The 1997 Kansas volleyball team has two things it lacked last season: seniors and depth at every position.
Kansas volleyball set for new season

The four seniors on the roster are Stephanie Blackwell, Kendra Kahler, Maggie Mohrfeld and Tiffany Sennett. The depth at every position is due in part to the returning starters.
But fourth-year coach Karen Schonewise said that the incumbent players were not guaranteed their positions for this season.
"There are a lot of people pushing for positions," Schonewise said. "A lot of players came to practice in great shape."
The team began to practice twice a day Aug. 8. Morning and afternoon sessions since then have accounted for six hours a day of volleyball drills.
"We've been able to start team drills a lot faster because of our experience," she said. "The skill level at this stage of the season is
The Jayhawks get a break from practice for their first competition Aug. 29 and 30 for the Nevada-Reno Tournament in Reno, Nev. A tournament at Northwestern and then two tournaments in Allen Field House complete the non-conference schedule.
"We've gotten a nice break with the weather for practices," Schonewise said. Morning practices have been at the air-conditioned East Lawrence Recreation Center.
Kansas begins its second season of Big 12 Conference volleyball competition Sept. 26 against Nebraska, which finished the season ranked third and reached the Final Four in the NCAA7 Tournament.
Schonewise said the Big 12 inaugural season had helped the team prepare for this season.
The temperatures in early August have been a lot lower than normal, saving players and coaches from unbearable conditions in the Robinson gymnasium, which is not air conditioned.
"We are used to the travel now and the back-to-back Friday and Saturday night matches," she said. "We have seen all of the teams now, and know what players they have coming back."

Women's soccer coach aims for team unity
Magner to work on building group trust, meshing athletic skills
By Harley V. Ratliff Kansan sportswriter
Last spring, Kansas women's soccer appeared to be a program in disarray.
With the departure of head coach Lori Walker to Ohio State, talk of player transfers and a tournament in Maryland against some of the best competition in the nation, Jayhawk soccer seemed to be a sinking ship.
Enter Dan Magne
And just at the right time.
Magner, former head coach at Wake Forest, didn't work any miracles, but he may have saved this season.
While the Jayhawks didn't win a game in the tournament, it was Magner's presence and attitude that helped persuade several players to stick around.
transferring — and I was one of them," said sophomore Lindsey Loeffler. "I thought about it a lot, but once we got our new coach and we went to Maryland, I decided to stay."
Loeffier said Magner's laid back approach and his good rapport with the players won her and others over.
"Coach showed exactly how he was going to be at practices, games and tournaments," Loeffler said. "He has a very relaxed personality. He gets respect from people rather than demanding respect.
Sophomore Jackie Horton said that Magner had earned the admiration of his players.
"He's trying out new things and he's experimenting with the team," Horton said. "Practice is more relaxed, but we work just as hard for Coach. He has the whole team's respect."
While most of the team decided to remain at Kansas, the Jayhawks couldn't keep everyone.
One of Magner's top priorities will be finding replacement for midfield transfers Kendyl Mich-
ner, Shayna Teutsch and Denise Cooke.
Michner and Teutsch took their skills to Tennessee, while Cooke returned to her home state of Washington. Combined, the three players put in more than 4,000 minutes and each played significant roles.
"I anticipate that three or four freshmen could see significant playing time," Magner said. "We have several freshmen who are really attacking-minded. They enjoy going forward and getting to the goal."
"We really need to come together as a unit," Magner said. "It appeared as though maybe it wasn't a real team in that everyone was on the same page working together. We're still building trust in each other."
Helping to ease the burden of the player defections will be nine true freshman and redshirt freshman Christy Clark. It will be their job to help plug the holes on offense and defense.
Magner said that his team's success would depend on his ability to mesh the new talent with the old.
