Volleyball team hopes to spike Missouri Tigers
PROFILE
Jayhawks would like to break six-game losing streak tonight
By Bill Petulla

It won't be hard for the Kansas volleyball team to get up for its match against Missouri at 7:30 tonight in Allen Field House.
Not only did the Sept. 30 loss to Missouri in Columbia, Mo., leave the Jayhawks 0-2 in Big Eight Conference play, but it also gave Kansas the dubious distinction of allowing the Tigers their first conference win in more than a year.
But to Kansas volleyball coach Karen Schonewise, this game means more than just revenge.
"This is a very important match," Schonewise said. "Our team wants to get its first conference win."
Although it won the previous meeting, Missouri (3-14 overall and 1-2 in conference) doesn't expect the Jayhawks to lie down for them to walk on.
"We're going to be playing on Kansas' turf now, so we know it won't be easy." Missouri assistant volleyball coach Michele Kohler said. "Our team is just going to have to work harder than Kansas."
The young Tigers, who will start four freshmen tonight, feature a team with only one senior.
"I'm really pleased that the freshmen have been able to hold their own this year," Kohler said. "But we need to improve on our leadership."
Missouri is led by freshman right side hitter Renee Rosinski and freshman outside hitter Sara Freiborg. Rosinski leads the Tigers in kills with 147, and Freiborg is second on the team with 119 kills.
"Right now, I'd have to say that Jodi Maune is playing the best for us," Kohler said.
Maune, a freshman right side hitter, registered 18 kills the last time these two teams met.
For the struggling Jayhawks, who have dropped their last six matches, tonight will be a chance to bring their losing streak to a halt.
"The team is more rested since we're not on the road and they can sleep in their own beds," Schonewise said.
Schonewise said the Jayhawks had been working on improving their defense in practice.
She also praised, among others, the play of sophomore setter Tiffany Sennett and sophomore right side hitter Kendra Kahler.
"Tiffany has been doing a great job running the offense for us and Kendra Kahler has been playing well since she's moved to the right side," Schonewise said.
Familiarity might also be a key in tonight's match, Chonweone said.
"The team is excited to play Missouri, because this is the first team we have seen twice this year," she said.
Rower pulls her weight on Kansas varsity team
Returning graduate student brings experience, leadership to first-year Jayhawk crew
By Erin Johnson Kansan sportswriter
Toby Schaid sees something that most Kansas students rarely see — the sunrise.
Schaid, a Dallas graduate student and Kansas rower, rises before the sun on weekdays for rowing practice. She has always enjoyed the outdoors, and that it is one of the reasons she
is one of the reasons she eniovs rowing.
"I grew up in Dallas, and there wasn't much outside that wasn't cement," she said, joking. "If you're rowing and it's been dark, and the sunrise comes up, that kind of makes your day."
Schaid was a four-sport athlete at Berkner High School in Dallas, playing volleyball, basketball and running track and cross country. After graduating from high school, Schaid knew she wanted to
Continue with athletics, but wasn't sure what sport she might be able to compete in because of her small size.
"I knew I wanted to do something, but I didn't know what," the 5-foot-3 Schaid said. "I wanted to do something different."
Most athletes her size that compete in rowing are coxswains; however, Schaid made the most out of her height and became a rower.
"She's only a little bigger than a coxswain. She's a little rower with a big heart."
Schaid and a group of her friends decided to join the Kansas rowing club. She was the only one of the group to continue rowing after the first year. She rowed for the club until last November when she left because of her heavy schedule, which included classes and an internship. After graduating in May, Schaid returned to Kansas to go to graduate school — and to row for the women's varsity team.
"She's only a little bigger than a coxswain," Kansas senior Maggie Romens said. "She's managed to kind of pull through and be a roower despite her height. She's a little rower with a big heart."
Taking a semester off from rowing helped.
Romens also said that Schaid has to work harder because of her size but that she adds a lot to the Jayhawk team.
"It was the only thing I could quit because I couldn't quit school or work."

"She's one of the more experienced people. She's definitely a leader," Romens said.
she said. "It was hard because I was going to try to row. I heard about (the rowers) going to races, and it was really hard realizing they were going to race and I wasn't.
"I think I work harder. Now I know this is my last chance, so I'm more motivated and try to work harder."
Studies and Public Service Office in Strong Hall, she sometimes wishes there were more time in the day.
Schaid said she's also having to work harder in the classroom. With 12 hours of course work, daily rowing practices and work in the Research Graduate
"I find it very hard. I've been pretty stressed out," she said.
Working out helps relieve temporary stress, but sometimes it can add stress.
"I'm trying to get better and when I don't, I worry about it," Schaid said. "I don't want to use my size as an excuse, so I try to get stronger so it's not a problem. I don't think it has been a real problem for me, but I don't think you find many world-class 5-foot-3-inch people."
Schaid doesn't intend to continue rowing competitively after this year. However, she and her boyfriend, who used to row with the Kansas men's club team, have talked about buying a boat for themselves.
"I don't know if I'd really want to," she said. "I'd rather do canoeing or kayaking—something new and different."
