SOFTBALL
Kansas coach pleased with team's progress
While the Kansas softball team is 14-17 (0-2),it's not all bad considering Kansas has been starting five freshmen as of late.
Coach Megan Smith said she has been pleased with the progression that the freshman class has made and said she does not consider them freshmen anymore.
Kansas opened up Big 12 play with a pair of losses to No.17 Texas A&M last weekend. It will not get any easier for Kansas as four of its next five Big 12 Conference series are against top 25 teams.
Smith said that playing such tough competition will help develop the players quickly. She also said the team's goals are not result-oriented but instead wants to build a foundation of fundamentals to ensure future success.
Kansas will continue Big 12 play this weekend against No.15 Texas.

It was the only win by the Jayhawks as the Longhorns bested
them in each of the other races on the day. The First Varsity Eight boat fell to the Longhorns by 22 seconds.

TENNIS
After these matches, the team's record sits at 9-7 (3-1).
"We have got to stay in the moment and we have got to compete hard,"head coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It is something our girls are thriving at to where they want to keep building the momentum to
keep stepping up to the next level."
Against Nebraska, the team was led by sophomore Erin Wilbert, who won in both singles and doubles, along with fellow sophomore Kate Morozova. The doubles team is on a three-game win streak playing at the No.1 doubles spot on the team.
The team will face Kansas State at 2 p.m. on Thursday in Manhattan.
