Women's golf begins spring play today

Tournament in Texas ends winter break for Jayhawk golfers
The Kansas women's golf team has been waiting four months for today. The Jawahaws begin play today in
The Jayhawks begin play today in
the Lady Bronco Golf Classic in Harlingen, Texas. The 54-hole, three-day tournament is sponsored by Texas-Pan
ment of the spring season for the women's team.

"Having a break is good for us because after playing golf for so long you start to get burned out," Kansas junior golfer Missy Russell said. "But we don't want to be on break forever."
Today's tournament ends the break for the Jayhawks, who have been eager to get the spring season started.
"We're excited to get started," freshman Mandy Munsch said. "I'm ready to get back out on the golf course."
For the past four months it has been difficult for the Jayhawks to practice. Cold weather and snow kept them off the golf course and forced them to do other things to help their games.
"We worked on our mental game," Munsch said. "We also went to Anschutz and shot balls around inside. It was a little weird."
Weird or not, Kansas is hoping the practice will help them start strong and continue the success the team was building on at the end of the fall season.
"I was happy with the way things went," Kansas women's golf coach Jerry Waugh said after the fall season ended. "We didn't play where I wanted us to, but we did well overall."
The team competed in five tournaments during the fall and finished in the top 10 in four of those tournaments. However, the Jayhawks struggled in cracking the top five.
Kansas finished in fifth place at both the Lady Buckeye Invitational
in Ohio and at the Minnesota Invitational in Minneapolis. The Jayhawks were never able to finish in the top three, and the golfers said that was disappointing for the team.
But one surprise of the fall was Munsch's play.
As a freshman, Munsch led the team with a 79.82 average, one top 10 finish and four top 25 finishes in five tournaments.
"She was a pleasant surprise," Waugh said. "She came through for us."
Although the fall was good for the team, the Jayhawks want to play better this spring, and they hope that they are prepared to shake off the winter.
"We really didn't play much over the winter," Munsch said. "I hope we are ready."
Mississippi stonewalls men's tennis team

The No.16 Kansas men's tennis team faced three ranked opponents during the weekend and almost came away with a sweep.
The Jayhawks went 2-1 this weekend at the Big 10 Tires-Blue Gray National Collegiate Tennis Classic in Montgomery, Ala. The tournament consisted of 16 ranked teams, and Kansas defeated No. 32 Florida State and No. 11 Duke before falling to No. 4 Mississippi.
"We have a tough schedule, and we are proving we can play with the best teams," senior Victor Fimbres said.
On Thursday the team defeated Florida State 4-3.
The Jayhawks won the doubles point and then won three of six singles matches.
Fimbres and freshman Xavier Avila came up with big victories. The two won their doubles match, and each won their singles matches.
Kansas freshman Luis Urlbe sealed the team victory by winning his singles match.
"It was the first time that Luis played in the deciding match, and he responded really well," said men's tennis coach Michael Center. "I was also proud of the way Victor and Xavier played today. They were our emotional leaders today, and both
won big singles matches."
The Jayhawks faced No. 11 Duke on Friday and won the meet 4-2.
Kansas again captured the doubles point and won three of the four singles matches. The only singles loss came when Kansas senior Enrique Abaroa, ranked No 19 in the nation, lost to Rob Chess 6-2, 6-2.
The victories put Kansas in the semifinals against No. 4 Mississippi on Saturday. The Jahways lost 4-3.
Avila won his singles match and now has won 15 of his last 17 matches.
Kansas won the doubles point behind the play of Abaroa and senior Michael Isroff, ranked No. 21 in the country. The two defeated
Johan Landsberg and Remi Feneon 8-6.
However, the Jayhawks won only two of six singles matches.
Abaroa won his singles meet by defeating No. 18 Ali Hamedeh 6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
It was the Jayhawks second loss to Mississippi this season. Kansas lost 4-3 to the Rebels last month.
Although the team left the tournament with a loss, Kansas is having a successful season.
The team's record is now 14-5 overall, and it has defeated nine of 14 teams ranked in the top-35.
"This team is playing well and working hard to win," Abaroa said.
Texas A&M serves women unpleasant surprise

After winning their last two meets, the Jayhawks were upset by No. 32 Texas A&M on Saturday, 6-3.
The loss was a surprise to a Kansas team that thought it would win.
Things seemed to be improving for the No. 22 Kansas women's tennis team until Texas A&M came to Lawrence.
WOMEN'S TENNIS
started the meet by losing four of the six singles matches.
"We didn't expect it to happen," junior Bianca Kirchof said. "The meet just kind of flew by, and we thought we should have won."
The teams were awarded one point for every match played, and Kansas
Kansas junior Kylie Hunt, ranked No. 1 in the nation, captured her 30th victory of the year. She defeated No. 49 Nancy Dingwall 6-0, 6-3.
Kirchof was Kansas' other singles winner with a 7-5, 6-1 victory against Vanessa Rooks.
Both sophomore Christie Sim and freshman Kris Sell lost in second set tie breakers.
"I played better near the end of my match," Sell said. "I just had a hard
time focusing and concentrating. "
Heading into the doubles competition, Kansas needed to win all three matches to win the meet.
But the Jayhawks won only one of three matches.
Hunt and senior Jenny Atkerson, ranked No. 8 nationally, claimed the only doubles victory by defeating Dingwall and Wilson Pate 6-1, 6-2.
The Kansas teams of Sim and Kirchof and sophomore Maria Abatjoglou and junior Amy Trytek lost.
"We always compete hard," Sell said. "We just didn't play well. There are good days and bad days. We had a bad day, but we can't use that as an
excuse."
Kansas, 5-6, played outdoors at Allen Feild House for the first time this season.
Although the Jayhawks had limited outdoor playing experience this year, they will not use that as an excuse.
"It was totally different playing outside," Sell said. "But we should have been able to handle it."
"We were kind of upset after the match," Kirchof said. "We are going to have some serious and intense practices from now on."
