The Big 12 Conference should be paying attention now.
By defeating Oklahoma State 4-2 on Friday and Oklahoma 2-1 yesterday, the Jayhawk soccer team muscled its way into prime contention for a first-ever conference tournament berth.
"It came down in the end to a test of character," coach Mark Francis said. "People were getting tired, and it was hot. We had to sub people more than we normally do, and it made a difference getting fresh legs in there. It was really a team effort."
In yesterday's game against Oklahoma, Kansas scored early. In the 17th minute, junior Hilla Rantala worked the right goal line and split the defense with a pass to junior Katie Lents, who scored.
Kansas struck again in the 66th minute when Colleen Colvin passed to Rantala, who flicked it toward the goal. Sophomore Natalie Hoogyveld then out-fought two defenders for the ball and slid it into the far side of the net.
Oklahoma's goal came in the 81st minute when Jonette Cocat sent a pass across the front of the goal, and Kansas player Brianna Valento,
The Jayhawks delivered a solid defensive effort with senior Laura Rohde making her starting debut in goal. Staunch defensive efforts also were turned in by senior Cynthia Dahle, junior Emma Di Cesare and freshman Nikki Wahle.
The game was a dogfight, with the Sooners out-fouling the Jayhawks 18-13. The physical play allowed the Kansas' toughness to shine, as many players refused to back down from their opponents.
"I thought we did well not to back down," Francis said. "We're not
abraid of that. We have some players that don't mind mixing it up."
Senior defender Lindsey Loeffler gave a gutsy performance, playing the first half with a bandaged forehead. Loeffler split open her forehead in a head-to-head collision in Friday's game, but it didn't seem to bother her as she attacked headers with her usual drive.
With the win, Kansas improved to 8-5 overall, 3-3 in the Big 12 Conference. The win set a team record for wins in a season and extended its conference winning streak to three games.
Volleyball player switches to soccer

Laura Rohde has volleyball in her blood, but it was her soccer game that stood out yesterday.
Rohde, a fifth-year senior, played volleyball for Kansas for the last four years but was recruited by coach Mark Francis as a backup goal keeper for the soccer team this year.
Rhode said she was surprised to get a call from Francis asking her to join the team but that she thought the experience would be fun.
Rohde has been learning well, and her improvement earned her the starting nod for yesterday's game against Oklahoma.
"We've been giving up too many goals off crosses and off of corners," Francis said. "Rohde's been doing a good job in practice and does a good job of getting out."
Although nervous, she said she was able to clear her mind and get the job done yesterday.
"Once I got out there and started playing, all the nervousness went away, and I felt like I was on the volleyball court again." she said.
Her debut was solid. She collected five saves during Kansas' 2-1 win.
Francis said he thought Rohde's teammates had noticed her work ethic.
"She works her butt off every day as hard as she can and never gives less than 110 percent," Francis said.
Rhode said she had enjoyed her soccer experience so far and was glad she joined the team.
"I'm really glad I did this." Rohde said. "It's been a learning experience, and the main thing is I'm having so much fun. And the girls are awesome."
