Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, won't let the team's recent losing streak affect her play. The Jayhawks have not won a game in three weeks, but are determined to ride out the season on a positive note.

"It is important for us seniors; we want to play for each other," Megan Hill, senior outside hitter, said. "Right now, we're just ready to have that win."
To get the victory, the lajwhays will have to play a solid defense. Colorado's Amber Sutherland, junior outside hitter, ranks third in the Big 12 Conference averaging 4.39 kills per game. Ashley Nu'u, Buffs senior
setter, leads the team with 12.32 assists per game.
Kansas' Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, leads the KU offense with 3.93 kills per game, seventh in the Big 12 Conference. Emily Brown, junior right side hitter, helps the offensive attack averaging 3.45 kills per game.

Injuries, cramps batter K.C. Chiefs
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pro Bowl left guard Brian Waters has sprained ligaments in his knee but will not be out for the year, Kansas City coach Herm Edmons said Monday.
Waters, a key part of the Chief's offense, was hurt on the second possession in Sunday's 31-17 victory over St. Louis. He appeared to be the most seriously injured of five players who had to leave the game and did not return.
Edwards said he did not know how long Waters would be gone but that he was not a candidate for inured reserve.
"I just know he's out this week," Edwards said. "He should be able to come back."
Nevertheless, it was just the latest blow to what has been for several years one of the finest offensive lines in the NFL. Pro Bowl left tackle Willie Roaf retired just before training camp and John Welbourn, last year's starting tackle, is only now getting back after a six-week suspension. Welbourn saw his first action of the season Sunday, playing some at left tackle and some at right, and was beaten twice by Leonard Little for sacks.
The victory was the third straight for the Chiefs (5-3) and kept them one game behind Denver and San Diego in the AFC West. But it was costly. Also leaving were starting defensive end Tamba Hali, linebacker Derrick Johnson and safety Greg Wesley. Keyaron Fox, Johnson's replacement, also had to leave the game because of cramps.
"Derrick Johnson has an ankle. He's questionable," Edwards said late Monday afternoon. "Greg Wesley is having an MRI right now so I'm not sure about him, but I think he's questionable. Tamba will be probable."
The beat-up line is certain to have coaches burning the midnight oil as they prepare for Sunday's trip to the Miami Dolphins. Because of injuries, Kyle Turley started at right tackle on Sunday. It was his first start since an old back injury flared up several weeks ago and benched him from the left tackle spot where he had been the starter.
camp with head and neck trauma, was scheduled to see a neurosurgeon last week. But Edwards said he did not know what Holmes' status might be.
"We've got some things we can do there," Edwards said. "Welbourn can play there if we need him to. We'll have a staff meeting to talk'about some of these things."
Waters' loss comes just as the Chiefs seem to have found a nice offensive rhythm. Tight end Tony Gonzalez and running back Larry Johnson, complementing each other, have had huge games three weeks in a row.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Kansas State has returned to respectability and bowl eligibility for the first time since 2003 in coach Ron Prince's first season.
Among the 11 Division I-A teams with new coaches this year, three have better win-loss records than the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 Big 12). Two of them, Boise State (9-0) and Wisconsin (9-1) went to the post-season last year.
No. 4 Texas visits Manhattan this weekend, the Wildcats' fourth ranked opponent this year. After that, Kansas State plays its regular-season finale at Kansas, with the Jayhawks also fighting to reach the postseason.
Kansas State won its only Big 12 title in 2003 but then went 4-7 and 5-6 in its last two seasons under Bill Snyder.
After the Wildcats' 34-21 victory last week at Colorado, a .500 showing in their last two regular-season games would guarantee Kansas State a winning record.

That will be a challenge, though, and not just because the Cornhuskers close out the regular season against woeful Colorado (1-9).
