Women's tennis wins doubles, splits singles to defeat Texas A&M
By Andy Rohrback Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks lost to No. 6 Texas 9-0 Saturday but rallied to beat No. 23 Texas A&M yesterday 6-3. The three-point victory margin was only two points short of earning the third place position in the conference.
The Jayhawks needed to win by five match points to secure the higher seed, which would have allowed it to avoid playing top-ranked Texas until the final round.
Once the team's results from this week-end are figured into the standings, the Jayhawks will enter the tournament as the No.4 seed after Texas, Baylor and Texas A&M. Of all the Big 12 teams, only Texas and Baylor have defeated the Jayhawks.
While Saturday's meet was decided before doubles play even began, yesterday's meet was in doubt until doubles ended. The two teams split the singles matches 3-3 with Kris Sell, Bianca Kirchhof and Brooke Chiller winning their matches and Christie Sim, Julia Sidorova and Maria Abatijoglou losing.
Sell rallied to win the second set in a tiebreaker and clinched the match by winning the third set 7-5.
The Jayhawks swept the doubles matches to win the meet. Chiller and Amy Trytek took control of their match early and rolled to an 8-4 victory. Sim and Sell had more trouble early in the match, but they also pulled out an 8-4 win. Kirchhof and Abatajoglou rallied from a 4-1 deficit to win 8-6.
The Jayhawks have only three days to prepare for the Big 12 Tournament, which begins Thursday at the Pennick-Allison Tennis Center in Austin, Texas.
Kansas baseball team loses two of three-game series
The Kansas baseball team won one of three games against the Missouri Tigers this weekend.
Kansan staff report
Kansas (27-16), which lost the first two games 14-5 and 12-11, managed to pull out a 5-4 win yesterday in Columbia, Mo.
Kansas' conference road record is 2-8.
After overcoming an early five-run deficit in the second game, the Jayhawks were unable to hold a one-run, ninth-inning lead. The Tigers squeaked out 12-11 win with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning off of Kansas reliever Casey Barrett.
The Jayhawks were able to salvage one game in the series with yesterday's 10-inning, 5-4 win. Down by two runs late in the game, Kansas scored a run in each of the last two innings and tied the score, sending the game into extra innings.
An inning later, the Jayhawks scored the game-winning run when center fielder Justin Headley tripled and Joe Demarco scored.
