'Hawks fall in second straight loss
By Shawn Hutchinson sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter
The Jayhawks are headed in the wrong direction.
The Kansas volleyball team lost its second straight match on Friday night, getting swept by No. 16 Texas A&M, 3-0, prior to Late Night with Roy Williams in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks, 13-6 overall and 4-
4 in the Big 12 Conference, dropped
game scores of 15-7, 15-11 and 15-7.
winning many of them."
"I think they set the tone early," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They won some long, long rallies. I don't know if that discouraged us. Even though we got an early lead in game one, the rallies were long and exhausting and we weren't
The Jayhawks' lead in game one was 6-3. During that opening stretch, middle blocker Amanda Reves collected three kills and outside hitters Mary Beth Albrecht and Nancy Bell
had one apiece. Then Texas A&M middle blocker Amber Woolsey picked up her second kill of the game and forced a sideout. The Aggies
went on a 12-1 run and finished off the Jahvahs in game one, 15-7.
Kansas found itself down 9-1 in game two, but managed to battle back behind two blocks from Revens, a kill from setter Molly LareMere and three Texas A&M attack errors, and trimmed the lead to 11-7. But Texas
A&M scored four of the next eight points and took the game, 15-11.
The Jayhawks put up a fight in a 15-7 loss in game three but couldn't hold off the powerful Aggie attack of middle blocker Lauri Leahy, and outside hitters Celi Howes and Summer Strickland. The trio combined for 31 kills in the match.
The Jahyawks were led by outside hitter Amy Mynt, who converted 30 attack opportunities into 12 kills. Revenes' 10 kills moved her past Moira Donovan into third place on the all-time Kansas kills list with 1,084.
One factor that may have contributed to the Jahayhawk's loss was that they were playing their second match in three days. On Wednesday, Kansas lost 3-1 to No. 13 Kansas State in Manhattan,
which snapped a three-match winning streak for the Jayhawks.
"That's the schedule, so you have to deal with it." Bechard said. "I don't think we were all that fresh, but you need to give credit to A&M."
Now, after the defeat to the Aggies, Kansas has fallen into a tie for sixth place in the Big 12 with Baylor.
"They just came out really strong, and we didn't do what we needed to do," Myatt said. "But we can come out to practice with our heads down about this. We've got another tough match coming up."
that match is on the road against No. 20 Colorado on Wednesday in Boulder, Colo. The Buffaloes are 11-6 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12 after sweeping Missouri on Saturday.

First practice of season excites Coach Williams

Carey, and freshmen Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
Gooden and Gregory led the Blue in scoring with 12 points each and in rebounding with nine apiece.
Gooden demonstrated his athletic ability by passing, dribbling and dunking, and continuously hustled after loose balls and rebounds in his Kansas debut.
"Drew's got a great knack for the game," said junior center Eric Chenowith. "He played pretty well tonight."
Despite the informality of the scrimage, Chenowith said that he was impressed by the tempo.
Seniors Lester Earl, Terry Nooner and Ashante Johnson, juniors Chenwith and Luke Axtell, and sophomores Jeff Bosche and Marlon London made up the Crimson team.
Chenowith led the Crimson team in scoring and rebounding, scoring seven points and grabbing nine rebounds.
"It was a lot quicker pace," he said. "We got up and down the

Also providing a spark for the Crimson team was the play of Johnson. He was injured during last year's Late Night and never fully recovered during the season. In 20 minutes, Johnson scored six points and grabbed five rebounds, while showing the athletic ability that Williams has talked about, as well as showing that his knee might be recovered.
floor well, but it's pretty much an organized pick-up game out there. You do what you can do."
I had a chance to go out and prove myself." Johnson said. "Last year, I had no chance. I was limping and walked out frustrated, but this year I'm walking out healthy."
Late Night was just the first practice of many for this year's team, but the season is now officially here and Williams is officially excited.
"I'm really anxious to get started," he said. "We've got a great group to work with."

Luke (Axtell) use the force as Darth Vader, played by Ashante Johnson, to convince him to come back to the Texas side, and Austin Powers, in which Jeff Carey and Mini-Me, played by Boschee, tried to rid Allen Fieldhouse of all of its annoying fans.
However, Austin Powers, played by Nick Bradford, saved the day.
By Nick Bradbury backstage After Cisco Pruitt gave the Big 12 Conference weather forecast that predicted dark and miserable weather all year in Columbia, Mo., the women's basketball team sang "It's Raining Men."
Hinrich took over C.B. McGrath's duties as David Letterman, but McGrath did make a guest appearances as Biff, one of Letterman's production men.
It's running them. Other musical performances included Brooke Reves as Britney Spears, Kristen May, Pride and Selena Scott as TLC, Eric Chenowith as Ricky Martin and Kenny Gregory, Nick Collision, Drew Gooden, Kirk Hinrich and John Crider as the Backstreet Boys.
Tall Guys and a Drummer, Chenowith played the guitar, Carey played bass and Collison sang as the group performed their rendition of Limp Biskit's "Faith."
On ESPN's 1999 sports highlights, three Kansas yell leaders came on the court as Oklahoma basketball players. As the crowd chanted, "Shorts on backward," Kris Nightengale realized that, indeed, his shorts were on backward and called time out to strip down and turn his shorts around in the huddle.
Hinrich read a top-ten list before introducing the musical act. Three
Late Night talk also turned to the Final Four as the women's basketball team was introduced at the beginning of the evening.
"I'm going to make this short and simple," said Lynn Pride, as the three seniors stepped out to give a speech. "After this season, we'd like to bring back two Final Four trophies, one from the women and one from the men."
And, of course, the evening would not have been complete without Roy Williams and Marian Washington showing their skills on the dance floor, cheered on by their players and 16,300 fans.
