Junior setter Nicole Tate sets the ball to a teammate Wednesday against No. 10 Texas. Tate led the team with 36 assists in the 3-0 loss.
two blocks. At one point, as she stepped away from a melee at the net, Tate whacked the ball with her fist without seeming to look, and it hit the floor on the Texas side for a point.
Coach Ray Bechard said his biggest concern was Texas' hitting efficiency. Texas leads the league in that category.
"But we cannot give up some body hitting over, 400 and expect to be successful," he said. "They seemed to get a little stronger and we seemed to not."
Bechard said he saw similarities between this match and the loss to Oklahoma on Saturday.
"So the last two matches there's been a trend where the opponent's hitting efficiency's higher than what we've been giving up on the year," he said. "We're in the top three or four in the league for opponents' hitting efficiency, and we haven't lived up to those standards the last couple of games."
The Jayhawks travel to Ames, Iowa, Saturday for a rematch with Iowa State.

endzone once as well. The amount of yards the Kansas offense has accumulated compared to the number of points is astounding — 601 yards and only 14 points to show for it. The lack of scoring starts with the smaller mistakes, including penalties.
"Once we cut the little mistakes, the mental errors, and some physical errors, we're going to be just fine on offense," freshman
Jordan Webb said.
When the little mistakes, like a delay of game or false start penalty, start to add up, they can crush any offensive rhythm. The reason penalties have such a grand effect on a game is simple.
"You lose 10 yards, and now you've got 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 15, and that's very hard to convert," Quigley said.
"There's an opportunity here
with six games left to finish "strong, coach Turner Gill said.
The team and coaches know that limiting the penalties could be a huge help to accomplishing that goal. One of Gill's goals for this week's game against Texas A&M is to eliminate the unforced penalties.

Win puts Giants one game away from World Series
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Juan Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off reliever Roy Oswalt with one out in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants moved within one win of the World Series, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the NL championship series.
Aubrey Huff singled with one out in the ninth and took third when Buster Posey singled for his fourth hit of the game. Uribe hit a medium-deep fly, leaving left fielder Ben Francisco with no chance to get the sliding Huff.
The Phillies, the two-time defending NL champions with the best record in the majors this year, are suddenly on the brink of elimination. They'll send Roy Halladay against Tim Lincecum
in Game 5 Thursday night — it's a rematch of aces that Lincecum won in the opener.
Going to Oswalt to begin the ninth backed manager Charlie Manuel's words this was his club's biggest game yet this year. Oswalt is one of the majors' top starters and beat the Giants in Game 2. He's made only a few relief appearances in the last several years, including a stint in the 2004 NLCS for Houston.

Brianne Riley, a freshman defensive specialist from Naperville, Ill., sets the ball as Taylor Tolefree, a sophomore middle blocker from Lawrence, looks on Wednesday night at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks (13-8 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12) lost in three sets to No. 10 Texas.

Riley returns to the court with high energy,effort
The freshman struggled to dig missed blocks against Texas
BY SARA KRUGER

Freshman Brianne Riley returned to the court yesterday against No. 10 Texas after a prolonged game absence. The defensive specialist showed no signs of injury, but was not as active as before. Coach Ray Ray Bechard says it will take some time for her game play to be at full capacity.
"She gives good energy and effort. I know she would like to serve better and dig better, but she will work herself up to where she was at," he said.
While out of game play Riley focused on recovering, only starting full practice last week. She is back to her vocal self, however, and her teammates appreciate the
familiar sound.
"You can hear her across the gym — it's good to have that voice back." Tayler Tolefree said.
Statistically, Riley has some work to do to return to the high level she reached before she was injured. She had no digs in the first set and three in the second — numbers vastly different from the earlier numbers put up by the freshman. Starting the third set after two losses, Riley seemed to become a little more upbeat. Falling behind 1-5, Riley stepped up and made some difficult plays, running to the front row to dig a few shanked balls.
In set four, Riley and the rest of the team seemed out of sync as they came up short and lost to Texas, 25-17.
"We let down tonight, we needed to dig more balls," Bechard said. "But our back row players have created a strength for our team."
Riley ended the game with five digs and one assist. She said the Jayhawks didn't play how they normally do, adding that her own biggest challenge against Texas was digging after missed blocks.
With such a big setback in the middle of the season, Riley is focusing on what she needs to do to become successful again.
"After being out for awhile you kind of loose your rhythm," Riley said, "I'm just getting my rhythm back, and that's all."
