Jayhawks expecting tough doubleheader
Kansas will make its final road trip of the season at 4 p.m. when it travels to Des Moines, Iowa for a doubleheader against Drake. Kansas is currently 19-32 (1-15). Drake is 30-18, but has lost seven of its last nine.
Coach Megan Smith said Drake could potentially be an at large bid for the NCAA Softball Tournament and it would be a tough couple of games.
"Drake has played a really tough schedule and has had a
really successful season," Smith said. "They're a really scrappy team and well balanced"
Smith said the team needed to keep doing what it had done all year to be successful.
"They're a legit team and we have to go up there and focus on what we need to do,focus on fundamentals and fight,"Smith said.
Kansas will close out the regular season Saturday at 2 p.m. when it plays host to Iowa State for a two game series at Arrocha Ballpark.

Golfer for Arkansas plans to join Kansas
GOLF
Katy Nugent, a golfer who played at Arkansas this past season, will transfer to play for the women's golf team in the fall of 2010.
Coach Erin O'Neil announced the move Tuesday. Nugent is a former Kansas state high school champion from Andover. She played two years for Arkansas.
"Katy is a great player and we are very excited to have her join our program,"O'Neil said.
USC experiences lots of changes
Last summer, Nugent won the Kansas Women's Amateur and recorded the only under-par score in the tournament. She won her state title as a sophomore at Andover High School.

USC ended spring practice a year ago with Pete Carroll and Aaron Corp as the coach and quarterback, but things have changed: here, there and everywhere.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Carroll has since opted for riches, and Corp, well, he opted for Richmond.
And the star of USC's spring game on Saturday was — Mitch Mustain.
A lot of scalp scratching can happen between college football seasons. Example: Lane Kiffin now graces the masthead at USC, while John Robinson is an assistant high school coach.
With Carroll no longer in town
to take post-game exception, Stanford Coach Jim Harbaugh recently signed off on a promotional 2010 ticket plan dubbed "What's Your Deal?"
Bobby Bowden, after 34 years, is no longer Florida State's coach. Joe Paterno still coaches at Penn State, but no longer needs glasses after undergoing laser surgery. Rich Rodriguez remains at Michigan, although the NCAA Infractions Committee may soon demand corrective lenses.
The Big Ten is thinking of expanding to 16, which may put the bulldozer to college's conference landscape. Notre Dame remains a staunch football independent.
