Women's soccer faces crunch time
By Brian A. Petrotta Kansan sportswriter
Here's the situation. If the Kansas women's soccer team wins both of its games this weekend against Colorado and Oklahoma, and Missouri loses or ties its games against the same teams, the Jayhawks are bound for the Big 12 Conference Tournament in St. Louis on November 7. Kansas can't lose, and Missouri can't win.
The Tigers' win against the Jayhawks on October 11 put Missouri in the driver's seat for the sixth and final spot in the tournament. Both Kansas and Missouri won one and lost one last weekend, so Missouri holds a 3-4-0 conference record, while Kansas posts a record of 2-5-0. In the Big 12, teams are awarded three points for a victory and one point for a tie.
The Jayhawks will start the weekend against Colorado today. The Buffaloes are also in the hunt, tied with Kansas. If they win today and Missouri loses, Colorado would face the Tigers on Sunday in a game that would decide who gets to St. Louis.
Needless to say, this is a huge weekend in Big 12 soccer.
"Obviously, every win for us at this point is important," Kansas women's soccer coach Lori Walker said. "With where our confidence is right now, I'm hoping we're going to continue to head in the right direction."
The road trip for Kansas won't make matters any easier. The team

"It is a difficult road schedule, but we'll do our best to adjust," Walker said.
This team has been adjusting all season, whether it has been to injuries, line-up changes or playing in a new conference for the first time.
"It's amazing how far we've come, the progress we've made," co-captain Jackie Dowell said. "Last year we were a first year team, we made a couple records, and we're still making records."
Dowell has no doubts that the team realizes the importance of the next two games, and has full confidence that the Jayhawks will be ready to perform.
The Jayhawks have one more home stand following this weekend's contests. They face non-conference foes, Wisconsin-Green Bay on Nov.1 and Wyoming on Nov.3 to close out the regular season.
Should Kansas clinch the final spot in the Big 12 Tournament, the team would play at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Anheuser-Busch Conference & Sports Centre in St. Louis.
