6B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12, 2009 CLUB SPORTS Women's rugby strives to finish season on high note BY MAX LUSH mlush@kansan.com The women's rugby club has had a lot of success so far this year, posting a 2-1 record going into its final match of the fall against Benedictine Saturday at home. The team started the season with a tough loss to Truman State 25-0. However, the team has managed to rattle off two straight victories against Kansas State and Missouri with scores of 35-5 and 17-0 respectively. Club president Briana Slayton, Round Valley, Ariz., freshman, credits her team's early success to a new work ethic in practice installed by new coach Kiersten Abel. "Coach has helped a lot," Slayton said, "She knows everything and how to answer our questions." Coach Abel is the Heart of America, or Midwest region select side coach, as well as an International Rugby Board Coach educator in the United States. She's spent the last 12 years around rugby, playing for 10 years and coaching since 2007. "Our practices have become more player-centered and now our players are much more adaptable on the field," Abel said. The team this year is more wellrounded than ever before. It possesses a strong forward pack and also has a quick, elusive backline that makes the opposition play honestly. Flanker Emily Knight, Toronto junior, credits this balance to the success against rivals. "We like to hit them with our forwards and make them tired, and then spin the ball wide and let our wings get out in the open," Knight said. The support the players give one another has as much as the forwards support the backs"," Abel said. also been crucial for the team's success. When someone makes a break, someone is always there in support should she need to pass or need help in the tackle. Benedictine poses an interesting opposition because it is a relatively new team. Although inexperienced, it always plays hard and presents a tough opponent. "They are very gritty and forward-heavy," Knight said. "We like to hit them with our forwards and make them tired, and then spin the ball wide." Players said that they felt Kansas is the stronger team and that if they did everything they have been practicing they should come out of EMILY KNIGHT Junior flanker "The backs support the forwards the match 3-1 on the season. Flyhalf Sarah Riley, Overland Park junior, knows that what the team does in practice will help in the game. "Our work on tackling and rucking has gotten a lot better and has a lot to do with our last two wins" Riley said.

The women's rugby team has a game Saturday against Benedictine College. Struggling Chiefs to face Raiders without Mike Goff KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The beleaguered offense of the Kansas City Chiefs took another hit on Wednesday when right guard Mike Goff went on injured reserve. NFL That means the Chiefs (1-7) and their,struggling ground game will be without their starting right guard and their most accomplished running back, Larry Johnson, against Oakland on Sunday. Johnson, just 75 yards away from breaking the team rushing record, was released on Monday after being suspended for making inappropriate posts on his Twitter account. the Chiefs' rushing game will depend now on Jamaal Charles and Kolby Smith. Both offer more speed and a better chance of breaking a long play than Johnson, a two-time Pro Bowler who was averaging only 2.7 yards per carry this year behind spotty blocking. Smith saw his first action last week in a year and had 17 yards on four carries. NFL Broncos change direction after two blow-out losses ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Kyle Orton showed up at Dove Valley clean-shaven, his splopty beard and mangy mustache having swirled down the drain much like the Denver Broncos' offense the last two weeks. He didn't go with the clean look just to finally comply with his wife's wishes, either. Orton and the Broncos (6-2) need to change a lot more than just his ragged appearance if they're going to bounce back from back-to-back blowout losses to Baltimore and Pittsburgh in "No, lost two games in a row," the superstitious quarterback explained Wednesday. "Might as well change something up." which the offense reached the end zone just once. "Well, we've got to score points," Orton said. "We've got plenty of areas to improve on." Since starting off 6-0 before their bye, the Broncos have seen their low-risk offense stuck in low gear, their ground game screech to a halt and Orton return from outstanding to ordinary.
