Kansas kept it close for most of the game but could not
"We were happy with our effort all the way around," said Eric Hylok, senior goalkeeper from Edina, Minn. "There was never a time, save for the last five minutes of the game, that we thought we couldn't pull out a victory."

was unable to capitalize on several scoring opportunities.
"It was a hard loss to swallow because we did play very well." Hylok said. "We executed all of the things we wanted to. We just weren't
able to score any goals. The biggest difference in the series was the fact that Mizzou capitalized on their opportunities, whereas we did not."
The injury problems continued for the Jayhawks in the second game when one of the team's best defenseman, Lee's Summit, Mo., sophomore Tim Shockey, left in the first period after injuring his
knee.
"Iinjuries were a really big issue," said Dan Gullioff, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior. "Being shorthanded the entire game was a huge factor."
Kansas is now 2-4, but the squad is confident it can correct mistakes and be more successful in the future.
"We have made chances for ourselves," Hylok said. "It is just a matter of putting the puck in the net. We have a great intensity, and
we play an upbeat, physical style of hockey, but putting in more goals consistently will do great things for the team."
Kansas plays Ferris State University and Central Michigan University on October 11 and 12.
"The team needs to increase on its scoring chances," Guilfoil said,
"The top two lines need to create some opportunities and put away these chances."

Men's open 3-on-3 intramural soccer began round one of the playoffs. Rejected Talent v. 2, the winner of a play-in game, battled The Champs late Friday afternoon.
INTRAMURALS Rejected Talent v. 2 beats The Champs 7-1
Wet grass and excessive amounts of mud made play difficult for both teams. Quick passing led to an early 2-on-1 break for The Champs, but a great defensive play by Matt Miller, Overland Park junior, deflected the ball wide of the goal.
Moments later, a low shot from Dennis Fisher, Overland Park junior, deflected off an opposing player into the goal, giving Rejected Talent w.2 the 1- lead.
The Champs tied the game at 1-1 after Erik Broxterman, Overland Park senior, passed the ball easily into the goal. The two teams remained all square until late in the first half, but two quick goals in the last minute gave The Champs a 3-1 advantage going into the break.
The Champs managed to find the net four more times before the game was over, making the final score 7-1.
"Hopefully we can play better next game," said Chris Carter, Apple Valley, Minn., freshman.
Fisher said Rejected Talent v. 2 wasn't upset.
"At least we won a game to get here."
Fisher said after the game. "It's one round further than we thought we'd make it."
