Smith earns team spot on soccer mag's list
US
Last weekend's performance by junior forward Caroline Smith did not go unnoticed.
Her three goal and two assist assault during two games earned her a spot on Soccer America's Team of the Week.
Smith contributed eight points in the two games to give her 17 points for the season, which is a team high. Three of the points by Smith came in the Texas Tech game where she scored one goal and an assist. In the Baylor game Smith scored the other five points with two goals and an assist.
"We've been playing better the past few weekends, so that helps a lot," Smith said. "We've gotten a lot more chances, both individually and as a team. The goals come when you get a lot of chances."
The three goals and two assists brought Smith's season total to six goals and five assists, both lead the team. The honor is the second one received by a Jayhawk this season. Sophomore defender Holly Gault was named to the team on Sept. 2.

SWIMMING AND DIVING
Swimming, diving team opens season today
The Kansas swimming and diving team will open its 2004-05 season today with an intrasquad meet at the Robinson Natatorium.
Today's event will serve as a warm-up for a flurry of meets beginning Oct. 14, when Kansas hosts Texas, followed by the Big 12 Relays Oct. 15, and ending in a dual meet against Texas A&M, Oct. 16th, all at Robinson Natatorium.
"Our 2004-05 schedule has a great mix of events to get us ready for the Big 12 and NCAA Championships," said third-year swimming coach Clark Campbell. "Kicking off the season with a dual meet versus a top-10 school like Texas is an
enormous challenge, but we are ready to take that step.
The Jayhawks return 19 letterwinners, including six seniors, from a team that finished 9-3 in dual meets and third at the Big 12 Conference Championships last season. One of the returning seniors, Amy Gruber, is fresh off her second consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships.
The Bigelow, Ark., native, was also selected to the All-Big 12 Swimming and Diving First Team. The diving team, led by first-year diving coach Eric Elliott, has high expectations for the divers including sophomore Shelby Noonan, the lone NCAA Zone Diving qualifier for the Javhawks last season.
The Jayhawks will also look for team points from five strong newcomers that have joined the 2004-05 roster.
The 2004-05 intrasquad meet gets under way at 6 p.m. today in the Robinson Natatorium.

Baseball to scrimmage; games open to public
Baseball fans are getting their fill of baseball these days with the Major League Baseball Playoffs on ESPN and Fox. For those die-hard fans who want to more, you can see it live this weekend.
The Kansas baseball team is participating in fall intrasquad scrimmages in preparation for the spring season. The scrimmages are free and open to the public.
The games get under way at 6 p.m. today with the annual Parents' Day scrimmage. On Saturday and Sunday, the Jayhawks will scrimmage at 1 p.m. On Monday and Tuesday, scrimmages will be at 3 p.m.
That's five straight days of games for Kansas coach Ritch Price and his Jayhawks, who have been lifting weights and holding individual workouts all semester.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks had scrimmages as well. Sophomore pitcher Sean Land was impressive on the mound.
"Overall, I was pleased with Sean's outing," Price said. "He has shown a lot of progress from last season to this fall. He showed good command of three pitches and was dominating on the mound.
He pitched five innings and allowed only one hit, while hitting 90 miles per hour on the radar gun.
Kodiak Quick, a junior transfer from Stanford, also threw a couple innings. He struck out four and walked none, while also repeatedly hitting 90 miles per hour on the gun.
