KU freshman forward Jessica Bush makes the game-winning goal against Arkansas Friday, while Arkansas freshman midfielder Abbey Wilburn looks on. Kansas defeated Arkansas 1-0 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, improving its record to 2-1-1.
Jayhawks win with lone goal
A slow second half followed an even slower first half, but Kansas (2-1-1) defeated Arkansas (2-1-0), 1-0, breaking their 1-1-1 overall series tie.
"The first half wasn't great but in the second half, I thought we played pretty well," Francis said. "I thought we played as well as we did this weekend — but we also won the game."

One goal was all the Jayhawks needed to turn a Wednesday night victory into a Friday night winning streak.
"Sometimes it works better on a field with more space, which is why I don't do it here sometimes," Karfonta said.
As to why that wasn't a more regular part of each game, Karfonta said that there were only certain situations in which flipthrows were needed.
The first half had few highlights, except for one rarely-seen throw-in.
The second half pace was faster, and Kansas out-shot Arkansas 14-3 in the last 45 minutes of play.
At the 64 minute mark, the
Junior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo passed Bush the ball, and she scored from 15 yards out.
With five minutes remaining in the opening half, senior forward Kimberly Karfonta gave a perfect flip-throw that sailed at least as far as any Kansas corner kick this season.
"I guess it's something unique that I do," Karfonta said.
0-0 tie was broken with a score from freshman forward Jessica Bush.
Bush said, "We definitely played a lot better than we did on Wednesday. I wish the score would've been a little more, but it's all right.
"It was a great goal. She finished it really well," Francis said.
"The intensity was there, and it was good for us to get another win," she said.
Bush's lone score was the only in the game, despite outshooting the Lady 'Backs 22-5.
There were enough opportunu-
Regardless of Friday's win, Francis said that his team still needed to work on playing a full game to their capability, not just a half.
"We've played well and not won. Then, we've played bad and won. So is it possible for us to play well and win?" Francis said. He said he looked forward to the team's practices before the next game.
nities," Francis said. "We probably should've buried a couple more to put the game beyond doubt. But at the end of the day, we'll take the win for sure."
Kansas will take on Pepperdine and San Diego in San Diego, Calif., next weekend.
