Soccer team wins one, loses one
'Hawks beat Texas Tech on decision after lineup change
By Brian A. Petrotta Kansan sportswriter
It was a topsy-turvy weekend for the Kansas women's soccer team. On Friday, coach Lori Walker made changes to the lineup, and the Jayhawks posted a 1-0 win against Texas Tech. The lineup changes remained in place yesterday, but Kansas fell to undefeated Baylor, 1-0.
Texas Tech came into Friday's contest with a record of 6-2 and 2-0 in Big 12 Conference play. Kansas, meanwhile, entered 2-6 and winless in the Big 12. At first glance, this match looked mismatched in favor of the Red Raiders, but it soon became apparent the Jayhawks were in control. At the 18:56 mark, freshman Kendyl Michner took a pass from sophomore Denise Cooke and fired a 20-yard bullet over the goalkeeper's head.
"I saw Denise was taking the ball down the line, so I just kind of stepped in behind the defender, took a touch, and hit it," Michner said.
Michner supplied the only offense necessary, thanks to freshman goalkeeper Jennie Fecke and defensive support from sophomore Erin Hon. Hon had the task of stopping the Red Raiders' top offensive threat, freshman forward Kristy Frantz. Through eight games, Frantz had taken 27 shots and scored 10 goals.
Hon held her to just two shots, and Fecke blocked them.
"We knew we had to come together as a defense, and we really showed it today," Fecke said. "We showed very mature attitudes."
Although Baylor is a first-year program, it entered yesterday's match with a 7-0-1 record and 2-0-1 in the Big 12. Its main force this year, freshman Molly Cameron, had 16 goals in eight games.
In this game, however, it was the Baylor defense that proved to be the deciding factor.
"They were playing in a very different defense," Walker said. "It was a zonal defense, and this is the first time we've come up against it."
The Kansas defense was also in top form. Hon again took on the top threat from the opposition, and she held Cameron scoreless. The only goal Fecke allowed was a 30-yard goal from freshman forward Nikki Hales at the 20:12 point in the first half.
"I think our defense did a very solid job, and we possessed the ball well in the middle of the field. But we just couldn't get anything done in the attacking third," Walker said.
Kansas managed five shots in the match but looked like it might tie the game early in the contest. Fourteen seconds after Baylor's goal, freshman Shayna Teutsch had a clean shot that was blocked with a diving save from Baylor goalkeeper Amanda Banar. Kansas had another chance to score 20 seconds later when Cooke got behind the Baylor defense, but her kick was saved by the goalkeeper.
Kansas will go back on the road this weekend to face New Mexico and Texas-Elas Paso.

Jayhawk women earn second in clay court final

The Jayhawks' No.1 doubles team of senior Kylie Hunt and junior Christie Sim almost made Kansas history in doubles competition at the National Clay Court Championships in Baltimore.
Hunt and Sim lost a three-set championship match yesterday to Laura Olave and Suzana Rodriguez of Louisiana State, 7-5, 3-6, 4-1. The loss to Rodriguez was the second for Hunt, who was upset in a second-round singles match Friday, 6-1, 6-2.
Hunt won the tournament last year with Jenny Atkerson. No one in Kansas tennis history has won consecutive titles in an event in either singles or doubles competition.
The Kansas tandem defeated the top-seeded team of Cristina Moros and Farley Taylor of Texas, in the first round Thursday, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2). Sim, Leawood junior, lost to Moros the day before in the first round of qualifying for singles competition.
"I'm really pleased with the way those
two played this weekend," said women's tennis coach Frank Polito. "I knew they could do well if they had a good draw. Once they upset Texas, I knew they would do well."
Hunt and Sim received a bye in the second round. The two then won their quarterfinal match Friday against Michigan's Sora Moon and Sarah Cyganiak, 6-2, 6-2. Hunt and Sim advanced to the final by beating Veronica Goude and Marianne Vallin of UNLV in the semifinals Saturday, 6-4, 6-3.
For the KU men, junior Enrique Abaroa lost Friday in quarterfinal action of singles competition to Kentucky's Luddee Sundin, 6-4, 6-3.
The Jayhawk doubles team of Abaroa and junior Xavier Avil lost in the second round Friday to Bear Schofield and Justin Smith of Virginia, 6-3, 6-3.
Abaroa won a three-set match in the first round Thursday against South Alabama's Nic Chiholm, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. He beat Harvard's Thomas Blake in the second round Friday, 6-4, 6-3, but lost the quarterfinal match later that day.
Kansas' volleyball team loses to Nebraska, Colorado in weekend conference
By Adam Herschman Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team (6-10) lost two conference matches this weekend.
In Lincoln on Friday, the women's volleyball team lost (15-4, 15-10, 15-6) to Nebraska. In Boulder on Saturday, the team lost (15-13, 15-13, 15-2) to Colorado.
Even though Kansas played the Cornhuskers, who are the defending national champions, Kendra Kahler said that she felt that the team had a chance to win.
"If we would've been on, I think we could've won" said Kahler, right side bitter.
Sophomore outside hitter Moira Donovan led the Jayhawks with nine kills, and junior outside hitter Stephanie Blackwell led the team with nine digs.
Freshman outside hitter Anné Kreimer finished the match with seven kills and two block assists.
Kansas volleyball coach Chance Schonewise said that Kreimer did a good job defensively
against Nebraska's Lisa Reitsma, who recorded nine kills and seven digs against the Javahaws.
"Anné's just practicing better, performing better," Schonewise said. "I thought she did a great job. She did very well in that match."
In the match against the Buffaloes, Kansas built a lead in the first game and was unable to keep it. This set the tone for the three-game match.
Kahler said that the team was up 11-5 before it lost 15-13 in the first game.
"That was the most frustrating game," Kahler said. "We just need to be able to finish games. We kind of got complacent at that point."
Kahler paced the Jayhawks against Colorado with 16 kills and 14 digs. Donovan added 14 kills and Blackwell posted 10 digs.
Senior swing hitter Rachel Wacholder had a big match for Colorado with 21 kills and 10 digs.
Junior Tiffany Sennett started both matches, but rotated with sophomore Laura Rhode at setter. Sennett posted eight assists against Nebraska and 39 assists against Colorado.
"We're not consistent," Sennett said. "We go from play to play — we can't be strong throughout a whole match."
Kansas will visit Kansas State in Manhattan at 7 p.m. on Wednesday and will return home on Saturday against Oklahoma.
