--- 8A / SPORTS / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM SOCCER Kansas to play Oklahoma teams BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com A 1-3 record in conference play isn't where the layhawks were hoping to be at this point in the season, but they will look to carry the momentum that was gained by beating Texas on Sunday into this weekend's Oklahoma series. OKLAHOMA OKLAHOMA STATE DAY: Today LOCATION: Lawrence TIME: 4 p.m. DAY: Sunday DATE: Oct. 10 LOCATION: Lawrence TIME: 1 p.m. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Junior forward Kortney Clifton dribbles the ball at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex against Texas on Sunday. Kansas won the game 1-0 and it was the first time the Jayhawks defeated Texas since 2005 and only the second time in the 15 years of the Jayhawk soccer program. weekends or on Monday. The win against Texas marked Kansas' first conference win of the year, and only the second time in the 15-year history of the lajhawk soccer program that they have knocked off the Longhorns. Senior forward Kaitlyn Cunningham noticed the importance of getting that first win in conference out of the way. "That was an extremely big win for us," she said. "It is a big confidence boost. You get the first win under your belt and it's kind of like there's no stopping us now." Today at 4 p.m. Kansas will play host to defensively sound No.7 Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls rank first in the Big 12 in goals allowed, having only given up seven goals in 14 games played. "They are tough to score on. Their goalkeeper is very good," he said. Coach Mark Francis is well aware of the challenge that their defense presents. Oklahoma State sits atop the Big 12 standings, unbeaten so far through four conference games, two of which were shutouts. Cunningham said the players have been told about the Oaklahoma State goalkeeper's athleticism, but she expects her team to attack. "If we can get the ball out wide and get some pretty good service, and get people to actually attack the ball and be dangerous in those situations, then we can put her under pressure and see what she is really made of," Cunningham said. Oklahoma State hasn't lost since Aug. 29th, but the 12-1-1 Cowgirls are the type of competition Francis has come to expect in the Big 12. "Every game in conference is tough. There is no easy game," he said. "Both games this weekend will be tough games." It won't get any easier as the Jayhawks take on Oklahoma on Sunday to finish out the four game home stretch. Oklahoma is currently tied for second place in the Big 12 with a 2-2 conference record. Francis said that Oklahoma is more athletic than they were last year, and a lot better over all. This is evident by their 6-5-1 record, which is just two wins short of their win total from a season ago. Francis said the lajhwacks need to take advantage of the few home conference games they have left. to get results," he said. "We have to show up with the same type of focus that we did against [Texas] A&M and against Texas. Anything less than that is not going to be good enough."
