Members of the Kansas tennis team battled players from across the nation, Aug. 13-17 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Championship held in Bloomington, Ind.
Despite the final match, coach Amy Hall-Holt said she saw strength in her singles player.
"Skoda played well in singles, you can tell she had been working hard this summer." Hall-Holt said.
The singles' portion saw senior Christine Skoda advance to the third round before losing to Courtney Vernon from University of Southern Florida 6-0, 6-0.
Because of NCAA regulations, coaches may not attend offseason tournaments. The coaches only saw the results and spoke to their players afterwards.
Skoda said she was pleased with her play. She practiced often this summer, but did not play many tournaments.
Sophomores Liza Avdeeva and Lauren Hommell each won a match before falling in the second round. Junior Brittany Brown lost her opening round match.
There were 54 players in the singles draw.
Both Kansas doubles teams advanced to the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament. After a first round bye, the team of
Brown and Skoda defeated the doubles team from University of Western Michigan's 8-3. Brown and Skoda lost their next round to Georgia Tech's only duo 9-1.

Kansas' other doubles team of Avdeeva and Hommell matched their teammates with a firstround bye, a second-round victory and a quarterfinal loss. The official season begins Sept. 7.

Amongst the new faces to watch for tomorrow is freshman midfielder Missy Geha. Following her sister, Amy Geha, before her, Geha is nervous but ready to live up to her expectations.
"I'm excited but I am more
nervous," Geha said. "This is college level. D-I."
With two-a-day practices ending Wednesday, the soccer girls are back in shape and sharpening skills that never seem to dull.
"I'm surprised with as many new people as we have, that the new guys are picking things up so quickly. The returning players have done a great job of helping the new guys understand what's going on," Francis said.

Department to adopt new name
The Kansas University Athletics Corporation approved a name change at its board meeting Tuesday, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said.
The new name will be Kansas Athletics, Incorporated, pending approval from the secretary of state.
The three-step process involved two votes by KUAC board members and the final step is approval from the secretary of state.
