Kansas soccer team loses to South Alabama after taking an early lead
Kansan staff report
The Kansas women's soccer team lost its third consecutive game Saturday with a loss to South Alabama at Mobile, Ala.
Kansas (3-5) took the early lead 17 minutes into the first half when freshman Denise Cooke knocked in a blocked shot by freshman Sarah Korpi.
The Jayhawks' lead was short-lived, however.
Fifteen seconds later, South Alabama sophomore Melissa Wykes answered Kansas' goal and tied the game.
South Alabama would win the game 3-1, adding two goals in the second half.
Kansas was outshot 10-0 in the second half and 23-5 in the game by South Alabama. Kansas women's soccer coach Lori Walker said that the maturity of South Alabama, a second-year team, played a significant role in taking Kansas out of its game.
"We did not play well," Walker said. "They knew we had strong players in the middle, and they offset us and forced us to play long balls. There is really nothing you can do or prepare for that. I guess we'll have to wait our turn until we are a second-year program."
The Houston Astrodome offers sweetest deal for football title game
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Houston Astrodome is offering the best overall financial package for a Big 12 football title game, and Arrowhead Stadium is offering the next best, a published report said yesterday.
Big 12 means big profits
The Associated Press
The 12 schools, which include the Big Eight and four from the Southwest Conference, are projected to get about $684,000 each if the conference chooses the Astrodome for its inaugural football championship, tentatively scheduled for Dec. 7, 1996, The Kansas City Star said.
The deal offered by Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where the Big Eight's offices are, involves a projected profit of about $628,000 per school.
The Big 12's athletic directors examined the bids last month.
Third among the bids was the Trans World Dome in St. Louis, offering about $605,000 to each school. The Alamodome in San Antonio projected $578,000.
Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas, near Dallas, provided the lowest expected distribution at $574,000 per school, but that could climb once officials determine a value for luxury suites and parking, The Star said.
Other bids also contain items of undetermined value, which could boost their profit potential. But the Astrodome's offer was the clear financial leader in bid summaries reviewed by the athletic directors at their Sept. 19-21 meetings in Dallas.
Officials at four schools confirmed the bid amounts, but directed specific inquiries to Big 12 Commissioner Steve Hatchell. Hatchell warned against drawing quick conclusions from the projected figures.
"We're asking people to make sure the money is really there," he said. "We believe we're going to end up with several cities that are going to pay about the same."
The conference's 12 school presidents hold the final decision and should choose a site no later than when they gather Nov. 30 for two days of meetings in Kansas City.
"The approval for a championship game could come at any time," Hatchell said. "The ADs have to sign off. Once the (presidents) are briefed, they could do it with a conference call."
Men's golf team ready to extend current winning streak
Nationally recognized foes will challenge Jayhawks at new course in St. Louis
By Spencer Duncan Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's golf team is out to prove that its 31-stroke victory at home last week was not a fluke but a true showing of what the team is capable of accomplishing.
KANSAS GOLF
The Jayhawks begin play today in the two-day Missouri Bluffs Intercollegiate at the Missouri Bluffs Golf Course in St. Louis. The team is hoping to keep its
momentum up after a commanding victory at the Alvamar Golf Club a week ago.
"We played really well at Alvamar," Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said. "But St. Louis offers us the strongest field of competition we have seen."
Randall said the 14-team field should prove to be a good test of how well Kansas could play against nationally recognized schools. Among the teams participating are Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, which is the defending national champion. Non-conference opponents include nationally ranked Arizona State, Kent State and Indiana.
"Any time you play as well as we have, you just hope you are prepared for tough competition," Kansas senior golfer Dan Rooney said. "There is a great field in St. Louis and some very tough competition."
Members of the traveling team are Rooney and fellow seniors Slade Adams and Alan Stearns, junior Kit Grove and freshman redshirt Chris Thompson. This is the same team that was Kansas' qualifying team at the Kansas Invitational.
Rooney and Adams are coming off of a first-place tie at the Invitational, and Grove and Thompson recorded their lowest career totals of 219 and 220, respectively. The team only hopes it can keep playing well and use its momentum to make history.
By capturing first place, the Jayhawks
would become the first team to capture the Missouri Bluces Intercollegiate title at the Missouri Bluces Golf Course. The course opened this year.
The par-71, 7,047-yard course was designed by Tom Fazio, who was voted golf course architect of the year by his fellow architects from 1989 through 1992.
Although the new course promises to be tough, the course is new not only to Kansas, but to all 14 teams. That leaves the field open for a Jayhawk victory because no players have had experience on the course.
However, the team is more focused on what they have to do, rather than the qualities of the course.
"This team just wants to do well and win," Thompson said. "That's our goal."
