Women capture doubles crown
By Dan Gelston
Kansan sportswriter
Odds on winning the T. Rowe Price National Clay Court Championships in Baltimore were not with the Kansas women's tennis doubles team of Kylie Hunt and Jenny Atkerson.
The two never had played together, they were inexperienced on clay, and they had to play a team that included an NCAA championship doubles finalist
But they were able to overcome those hurdles and capture the doubles title this weekend in Baltimore.
They defeated Cristina Moros and Melody Falco of Texas, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (6). It is the third national title in Kansas women's tennis history.
"We really came together well this weekend," Hunt said. "I wasn't expecting to do real well, so it's very surprising."
The pair had to rally to win in both sets. They were losing 5-3 in the first and 6-5 in the second. In the second set, they were faced with two set points but were able to fight them off.
"They played very smart doubles the whole time," Kansas women's tennis coach Chuck Merzbacher said. "They made their first serves and a lot of volleys. They put a lot of pressure on them the whole time.
"To be a national champion — that's pretty amazing. It doesn't get any better than that."
Amazingly, it almost did.
Hunt made history when she became the first woman ever to appear in both the singles and doubles championships at the clay court championship.
Hunt, ranked 33rd nationally, met with strong competition on the way to the championship. In the semi-finals, she defeated No. 11 Vicky Maes of Arizona, 6-1, 6-1, becoming the second Kansas woman in two years to advance to the finals. Nora Koves won the championship last year.
Hunt lost to Old Dominion's Tzipora Obziler, 6-3, 6-
0 in the finals.
"She just outplayed me," Hunt said. "I was ready and prepared, but I just lost to a better player that day."
Kansas men's tennis begins season with key victories
The Kansas men's tennis team began its fall season last weekend at the Tulsa Hurricane Invitational in Tulsa, Okla. Kansas players went 0.7 in the tournament.

Sophomore Trent Tucker made his return to Kansas tennis after redshirting a year. He promptly posted five consecutive wins and advanced to the championship, where
Arkansas tennis player Tim Crichton defeated Tucker 6-2, 6-2. For Tucker, it wasn't the result that mattered. It was being back on the court.
"It was tough being in limbo for the whole year," he said. "I was really excited to play again. I could see an enormous difference in my play from two years ago. All my work is paving off."
Kansas freshman Luis Uribe lost his second-round match, but he went on to win the consolation championship.
For Kansas men's tennis coach Michael Center, the tournament was a good indicator of where the team was early in the season.
"I saw some good things out there this weekend," he said. "I thought those two guys played exceptionally well. They did some really good work. For our first weekend of competition, we can be happy, but we still have work to do."
Soccer team edges LSU
Kansan staff report
The Kansas women's soccer team pushed its record to 4-0 against first-year programs Sunday, defeating Louisiana State 2-1 at the Port City Classic in Mobile, Ala.
"This was the best we've played this year," said Kansas women's soccer coach Lori Walker. "It was two first-year programs playing good soccer."
Amy Dykstheruki scored on a corner kick, tying the score 1-1.
After trailing 1-0 at halftime, Kansas sophomore midfielder
Ten minutes later, Kansas freshman midfielder Denise Cooke scored off a missed shot from Dyksterhuis. Although the Jayhawks were outshot 18-9 in the game, Cooke's score was the winning goal. Kansas has a 4-5 overall record. The Jayhawks lost 3-1 to South Alabama Saturday.
"It was a good victory," Walker said. "We were a bit down after Saturday's loss. We needed this one to get back on track."

All the tournament games will be played at Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets. It will conclude with the championship game and crowning of the hill champion at 5:30 p.m. Oct.19.
The tournament features brackets for greek and residence hall teams, as well as an open bracket. The semifinals will pit the greek bracket winner against the residence hall bracket winner and the greek runner-up against the open winner. The semifinals will be played Oct.18.
All the teams in the tournament have been playing games for the last four weeks and have been seeded according to their record.
Delta Upsilon team member Jeff Pritchard, Simi Valley, Calif., sophomore, said that winning the tournament proved a lot.
"Without a doubt, this tournament shows who the best team is," Pritchard said. "As for our house, it is the first big step to see if we can show some dominance."
So, who's going to win this tournament? Pritchard has his eyes on a couple of teams, he said.
"Just from watching, I can see that Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi are very strong teams," he said. "However, we beat Phi Delt in our tournament, and that might out DU up there."
A Delta Upson victory against Phi Delt in its presseason tournament was the first time a team even had scored on a Phi Delt team since the fall of 1993. Phi Delt team quarterback Kyle Krehbiel, Salina sophomore, said that the season had been a hard one for his team, but that they should be ready for the tournament.
"For us, it just depends which team shows up. We haven't had a lot of time to practice." Krebhiel said. "However, when it comes down to game time, we will be ready."
