BASEBALL Player receives honor after difficult season
After enduring an up-and-down spring, junior golfer Gary Woodland was named to the All-Big 12 Team on Friday. Woodland, who finished in the Top 10 on three occasions this spring, was the star on a Kansas team that struggled to post consistent results throughout the season.
Woodland averaged 73.21 strokes per round this season to lead the Jayhawks. He bounced back from a dismal showing in the U.S. Intercollegiate to finish in a tie for seventh individually at the Big 12 Championship last week.
last week.
Woodland is ranked 118th in the golfweek.com individual rankings and 71st in the GolfStat cup standings.
Woodland was the only Jayhawk golfer to be named to the All-Big 12 Team this year. Oklahoma State sophomore Pablo Martin was given the honor of Big 12 Player of the Year.

Charlton Keith, who also was projected to be drafted, did not hear his name called either. Keith, a defensive end at Kansas, will be expected to move to outside linebacker if an opportunity arises in the NFL. Former Jayhawk David McMillan, who is now with the Cleveland Browns, made a similar transition moving from defensive end to outside linebacker two years ago.

The Jayhawks were under pressure early in the second game when Oklahoma got on the board in the second inning. Catcher Susan Ogden started the Sooner attack by singling to centerfield and then advancing to third on second baseman Stacia Aleman's base hit. Lefftelle Norrille Dickson then hit a single to drive in Ogden to give Oklahoma a lead it would never relinquish.
The Sooners later added three runs in the fifth inning to increase their advantage to four. For the game, Humphreys gave up eight hits, the second most she had given up all season. She also gave up four earned runs, the most she had allowed since the Missouri game in Columbia three weeks ago.
Oklahoma's Nicole Denes was almost unhittable. The senior right-hander pitched the full seven innings and struck out six, while allowing only three hits. Denes' only miscue came in the seventh inning, when senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein blasted a Denes' pitch for a home run. Denes settled down afterward and retired the next three Kansas batters to finish the game. On Wednesday, Kansas will play host to in-state rival Wichita State for a doubleheader. Although it's not a conference game, the Jayhawks recognize the importance of beating their regional opponent.
regional opps Coach told us that we basically have four games guaranteed left in our season," Humphreys said. "We have to put it all together for what we have left."
