Women's soccer team matures
By Brian A. Petrotta
Kansan sports writer
The celebration is finished for the Kansas women's soccer team. At least for the moment.
Monday's 2-0 victory against the Creighton Blue Jays was possibly the most important win in the program's two-year history. The Blue Jays had beaten the Jayhawks 4-0 last season and looked unstoppable in the first 10 minutes. The young Kansas team refused to be flustered, however, and pulled out a physical victory.
"Head coach Lori Walker said, "We kept our heads and we kept our composure against Creighton. These players showed a lot of maturity."
The maturity and confidence gained in the first two contests will have to continue into today's game against Oral Roberts. Still, after such a big win Monday, isn't a let-down possible?
"That game is behind us," said Walker. "We're back down to earth now. Every game is a new game, and we're looking forward to the next one."
Kansas lost twice to Oral Roberts last season, 2-1 and 4-1. The Jayhawks lost by a combined score of 9-1 last year to their first two opponents this season — Creighton, which they beat, and Evansville, which they led at the half.
Walker said, "They (Oral Roberts) still have the upper hand, but I think we can compete a little
better this time."
The Jayhawks' intelligence will help them compete. Creighton overwhelmed Kansas early in Monday's game, but the players recognized where they were getting beat and adapted accordingly.
The game against Oral Roberts will be at 4 p.m. today at SuperTarget Field, south of Allen Field House. Kansas then is off for two days before playing Illinois State at 1 p.m. on Sunday at home.
Walker said, "I'm happy with our tactical ability to adjust. The players are very tactically intelligent and understand the game of soccer."
The Jayhawks begin a four-game road trip on Sept. 13 against Texas A&M.

Today's birthday (Sept. 5)
Keep your overall objective in mind this year, no matter what happens.
Take time to find out the facts. Don't pay too much for a luxury item in October. Learn the truth about a close relative in December. You're lucky with games in January. Go back to an old way of doing things in February. Gain valuable experience in April. Ask for the career you want in June. A friend could turn into a sweetheart in July.
HOROSCOPES
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6. Your boss, teacher or parent could be something of a ditz today. If he or she asks you to do something ridiculous, speak up. This may lack your excellent business sense.
Point out the problem and come up with a better idea together.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is an B. You're smart, but you're plagued with problems. You'll get a run in your nylons as you're stepping out of the car to meet with a major client, for example. Don't fret — you can power through it.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6. You could run into trouble with communication. Something you've heard about another
person's money isn't true. Don't get involved in a joint venture until you check the other person's back-ground.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5. There will be confusion today. Not only are conditions changing, people are changing their minds. The sale you thought was a done deal could fall through, and one you thought was lost could work out. Stav loose.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6. You'd love to be as free as a bird. You'd fly to Hawaii or Cancun and leave your troubles behind. You might be able to do that during the weekend, but you can't do it now.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7. You're cruising along pretty well, intellectually speaking. Review old material and make sure it's in order. If you need that information, you'll want to know where to find it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5. You're getting pulled in at least three directions. You want to do what everyone else wants you to do. Don't forget the most important person in this equation.
Arles (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. Finish up your reading today. Answer all those phone messages that have been stacking up. Don't start anything new. Completion is the name of the game. You'll be astonished at what you can win if you do it well.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8. You can pay bills today, but you'd better hold off on the shopping until tomorrow. You can listen to a neighbor's gossip tonight, but don't take it too seriously.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8. The changes going on in your life will work out to your advantage — if you pay attention! A Cancer can help you make a wise purchasing decision.
Cancer (June 22 July 22) — Today is a 6. Comply with bureaucratic requirements, even if you don't want to. It probably has something to do with paying bills. If there's more money going out than coming in, don't worry — think of another way to cut expenses. A friend can help.
