Women's rugby beats Pitt State
The tournament was scheduled to continue through today, but the results were not available.
The Kansas women's rugby team pummeled Pittsburg State 68-0 Saturday afternoon at Westwick Rugby Complex in Lawrence.
Coach John Wiley said that he expected a big game from the Jayhawks.
"The girls all played as a cohesive unit, and if we do that, we're not going to be easy to beat," he said.
Six players scored for the Jayhawks. The team improved the team's record to 7-1.
Kansas will face Oklahoma at Westwick next Saturday.
The Kansas men's rugby team lost to the Gorillas 29-0 in Kansas' second and final home game of the fall season.
"It hurts to lose the last home game," said Ryan Kiliany, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "We're putting this behind us, though, so we can focus on closing out with another positive note."
The men's team plays its final game of the season Saturday against Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Rice catches up to reception record
ST. LOUIS — Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers didn't waste any time yesterday setting an NFL record for receptions in consecutive games.
Rice played in 184 straight games, breaking the mark set by Art Monk from 1980-95, with a 12-yard catch from Steve Young with only 27 seconds elapsed. The play was the 49ers' first of the game and came one play after Darnell Walker intercepted Tony Banks on the Rams' first play.
Rice missed 14 games last season with two serious knee injuries, ending his consecutive-game playing streak at 189. But the reception streak didn't end because Rice was not in uniform for any of those games.
The last time Rice was shut out was Dec. 1, 1985, in a 35-8 victory against Washington.

The fact that the Kansas volleyball team lost both of its matches against Colorado and Nebraska last weekend isn't the point.
Volleyball team undaunted by losses
By Laura Bokenkroger Kansan sportswriter
Weekend matches prove a learning experience
The point — and the thing it wants to remember against Oklahoma and
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas State this week — is the realization that it can play with the best of them.
The Jayhawks' goal before last weekend was to extend the matches
against their Big 12 Conference opponents as long as they could. And that's just what they did against No. 3 Nebraska on Saturday.
Despite losing badly to No. 13 Colorado Friday, the Jayhawks came back and battled against Nebraska, winning a game before falling three games to one.
The Jayhawks were disappointed
after the match against Colorado when the Buffalooes swept them three games to none, 15-2, 15-10 and 15-4. Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks were their own worst enemy Friday night.
"The Buffaloes kind of ran over us tonight," Bechard said. "We didn't respond well in game one, and we came back and played well in game two. But it wasn't enough. We had too many serving errors, and that doesn't put us in a good position to win."
Setter Laura Rohde said that the team knew that its match against undefeated Nebraska the next night would be even more of a challenge.
I don't think we were mentally into it at Colorado. Rhode said. "We never play well at Colorado, and that's no excuse, but it was frustrating."
The Jayhawks started slow against Nebraska, losing the first game 15-4. Rohde said they played tentatively at the start and fell behind because they lacked confidence.
But after hanging with the Cornhuskers in the second game, the Jayhawks began to gain momentum.
"Our defense was amazing." Rohde said. "We were digging balls we haven't been digging all year. We passed extremely well."
Despite losing the first two games,
Rohde said that the Jayhawks' confidence was building, and she thought they were playing well enough to win.
The Cornhuskers, who previously had lost only two games all season, fell to the Jayhawks 15-11 in the third game.
"We didn't have anything to lose," Rohde said. "We just relaxed and played awesome."
In a hotly contested game four, the Jayhawks were leading 14-10 , but couldn't close out the win, losing 16-14. It was a disappointing game, but Bechard said the team was proud of the way they played.
"We had a shot," Bechard said. "It wasn't a fluke. We played our butts off tonight. We were about two inches on a call from extending it to a rally score game five. I'm really proud of the effort the girls showed out there tonight."
It was a ground-breaking night for the Jayhawks, and Rohde said that they had proved something to themselves.
The Jayhawks, who are now 13-9 overall and 3-7 in the Big 12 conference, will play Oklahoma at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday night at Allen Field House. The team will also play K-State at home this Friday at 7 p.m.
"We knew we had the potential and the ability," Rohde said. "We just needed to prove it."
Kansas soccer learns not to mess with Texas
By Brad Hallier
Kansan sportswriter
The first half usually is the better half of a game for the Kansas soccer team.
Before this weekend, they had conceded nine goals in the first half of all games this season. When the Jayhawks traveled to Texas and Texas A&M, the two teams racked up a combined seven goals in the first half, as the Jayhawks lost both games.
Kansas fell to 5-11-1 overall and 1-7-1 in the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks took on the Longhorns at the Longhorn Soccer Complex on Friday, and it took Longhorn midfielder Nicole Ramirez 11 minutes to score.
Texas showed its offense by scoring
three goals between the 38th and 45th minutes. Forward Valaire Page, who scored the Longhorns' second goal,
Freshman forward Melanie Schroeder, who had her first career start against Texas, led
added another goal in the 50th minute, as Texas rolled to a 6-0 win.
the team with five shots, but Texas goalkeeper Cami Varnadore did not allow any goals.
Varnadore picked up her fifth shutout of the season, and Texas improved to 5-
Texas A&M forward Sharon Pickering put the finishing touch on the Aggies' tenth win of the season when she scored in the 74th minute.
Things did not improve yesterday when Kansas faced No. 24 Texas A&M. The Jayhawks allowed three goals before forward Lindsey Horner scored for Kansas in the 44th minute. It was the Jayhawks' first goal in 485 minutes, dating back to forward Erin Hon's goal in the first half against Oklahoma State six games ago.
"ROAD TRIPPING CASH!"
The Jayhawks travel next weekend to Boulder, Colo., to finish the conference season against Colorado. Sunday's match against the Wyoming Cowgirls will finish the season for Kansas.
