Home games to teach team technique
Bv Joel Francis
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas softball team will play at Jayhawk Field this weekend in its only home tournament of the fall season.
The team will play five different teams in six games, but coach Tracy Bunge said the opponents didn't matter.
"Right now, in the fall everybody is in the same boat," she said. "I'm not concerned about who we play; these games are more like scrimages than official games. We'll
concentrate on our techniques and what we're like as a team."
Senior shortstop Christy McPhail said that it doesn't matter who their opponents were this weekend.
Kansas will play three doubleheaders. The Jayhawks will face Butler County Community College at 1 p.m. and Missouri Western at 3 p.m. today. Kansas will play Johnson County Community College at 1 a.m. and Central Missouri State at 1 p.m. tomorrow. The team will play Central Missouri State at 1 p.m. and Pittsburg State at 3 p.m. Sunday.
but the most important things for us this weekend is to execute well, get better and improve on a lot of things." McPhail said.
"Of course we want to beat them,
The tournament will provide an opportunity to solidify the roles of the new assistant coaches.
"I'm still adjusting to my change
certain defensive plays, and working out decision making, we're still not solidified."
The team played a triple-header
Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. Team practices focused on the mistakes from last weekend. She said she did not expect the team to be perfect yet.
She also said she was glad to play in front of a home crowd.
"Some things came up last weekend that we hadn't seen before," Bunge said. "I understand we'll make mistakes, but hopefully, we've learned not to make the same mistake twice."

"Since this is our only opportunity to play at home, the parents will be here to see us," she said.

The Kansas women's tennis team will begin its fall season in the land of the Hoosiers today when it competes at the Indiana University Fall Invitational Tournament against seven other teams.
Kansas coach Jenny Garrity said the team would use the event as a measuring stick for what it needed to improve upon.
"I feel good about our level of play going into this weekend's tournament," she said. "Of course, we've got
a lot of nervous energy because it's our first tournament of the year, but I think we've done a good job preparing at practice for the tournament."
Garrity said senior Brooke Chiller and sophomore Cheryl Mallaiah would play the top singles flights, while
Julia Sidorova would team for doubles.
Each school is allowed to play four doubles teams and three singles this weekend.
"We want to play well and win a lot of tournaments this fall," Garrity said. "We can gain confidence going into the spring season."
the decision Sophomore Lisa Mallaiah said she hoped for a win in her singles flight, a repeat of her success last year.
The Jayhawks will play against Ball State, Marquette, Miami of Ohio, Notre Dame, Southern Illinois, Indiana and Western Michigan at the tournament.
Lin Loring, women's tennis coach for the Hoosiers, said the tournament had been a success for many years.
"It's a good preseason tournament because you have very diverse
Garrity said the team spent the summer training for the fall season
"Julia stayed here, Brooke went to Europe and played tournaments, Cheryl and Lisa played in Florida, Christi (Wagenaar, sophomore) went to South Africa, and Tiffany (Chang, freshman) played a full tournament schedule too," she said.
teams." he said.
With all the experience and practice behind them, Garrity said the Jayhawks were prepared for their opponents.
"We had good success last year," she said. "Everyone's ready for this year."
