Men's soccer club beats Kansas State in exhibition

Friday afternoon was payback time for the Kansas men's soccer club.
The intrastate rivalry between Kansas and Kansas State continued at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Mo.
Last season, Kansas lost to Kansas State 1-5, but this year the Jayhawks won 7-1 in an exhibition match before the major league Kansas City Wizards soccer game.
Kansas scored the first goal of the game with only a few minutes left in the first half and controlled the rest of the game.
Coach Carl Eaton attributed Kansas's slow start to the team's lack of experience playing on such a high-quality field.
"This is the first time we've played on
this type of surface in a long time," he said. "It took us a while to get used to the field, then we started to dominate."
During the second half, Kansas pushed ahead to a 3-0 lead. Kansas State answered with a shot that rolled in behind the goalie. Kansas then scored four more goals, controlling the rest of the game.
Kansas fullback David Nadler said that the Jayhawks relaxed and played smarter in the second half.
"We played very well, moved the ball on the ground and finished it," he said. "Simple soccer."
Eaton said endurance helped Kansas win the game.
"We were the fitter team," he said, we had some gas left."

RELAYS
Huffman said he was disappointed with his fourth-place finish (18 feet, 8 1/4 inches) but was excited to see the relays drawing high-class athletes and larger crowds.
"Vaulters talk, and if some of the best in the world compete here, the rest will feel like they should come too," Huffman said. "This is the best attendance I've seen since the Russians came in 1983. Thanks to advertising and just making people aware that it's here, I expect it to keep going up every year."
Sarah Heeb, who at one time was the unofficial American record-holder in the women's steelechase, also competed.
"This race was a challenge," Heeb said. "This past year I moved to California, and it's been hard to make adjustments."
Heeb said it was nice to be back at Kansas but that she was disappointed about placing third in the steeplechase.
Ryun said continuing to attract quality athletes and getting the word out to the fans would keep the relays moving in the right direction.
"Highlighting some of the events and some of the athletes gives the public more of an appreciation and an opportunity to get involved, and that's part of what makes the relays exciting," he said.
Notes: Shot-putter Kevin Toth broke the Kansas Relays record in his event with a toss of 17-2 1/2 meters. It was this year's longest shot put.
