Coach Ray Bechard pursues milestone in Manhattan
Jayhawks hope to earn his 200th victory
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
Ray Bechard is looking for his 200th victory with Kansas in the conference opener against perennial rival Kansas State (5-5) in Manhattan tonight.
The Jayhawks will go into the match at 9-2, their best pre-conference record since 2005. Kansas is third in the Big 12 after a loss to No. 17 Northern Iowa in the second match of last weekend's Kansas Invitational.
Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said that the match against Northern Iowa was the most
significant of the past week.
"We lost, but I think we made huge progress." Garlington said. 'We fought back from down 0-2 to take it to a fifth game. I just think it
"Just the fact that it's KUK-State gives them energy to play us and the same goes for us."
Kansas' defense has limited its opponents to an attack percentage of. 136, the second-lowest in the Big 12. Notable in that effort is freshman libero Brianne Riley, who leads the team and is ranked 10th in the league in digs per set.

I just think showed that we have a lot of fight and that, you know, we're not going to give up, we're not going to just roll over"
Garlington regularly leads Jayhawk offense in kills per set. Her 27 kills against Winthrop on Friday were the most scored by any player in the Big 12 this year. She said any match against Kansas State is a dogfight.
"They put up a big block, they have good defense, they have a new setter," Garland said. "Just the fact

"They're a disciplined blocking team."
Bechard said. "They've got a lot of new personnel, but talented personnel. I know they're excited about it. They've played an extremely difficult pre-conference schedule, and I think, they think that's obviously prepared them very well for what lies ahead in the conference."
The match starts at 7 p.m. and will be televised on Metro Sports (channel 37 in Lawrence).

Even after withdrawing his name, Lester said he hopes he stays at the University when a new hire is made. Lester said the fate of that search lies with the chancellor and the five-to-six person committee she will bring together, but that

the chancellor, he said, has met with coaches and staff to understand what characteristics she should be looking for. Lester's list included integrity, honesty, forthrightness — someone, he said, who would be a positive part of the community and student body.
Lester said the position is still in the business of winning, though.
"Whether it's in facilities, fundraising, giving the coaches everything they need to win — that's my job and that's what I'll continue to do," Lester said. "And that will be any athletics director's job."

Diamondbacks win war of rookies
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Rookie Daniel Hudson shut down the NL's top offense for eight innings, and Tony Abreu had a pair of hits and scored a run in Arizona's minimal offense Tuesday night, leading the Diamondbacks to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Arizona beat the NL Central leaders for the first time in five games this season.
games. Hudson (7-2) gave up four hits and fanned eight before leaving with a 3-0 lead. He also had a run-scoring single off left-hander Travis Wood (5-3), who continued his fade. Wood lasted only five
innings, giving up nine hits — eight of them singles.
A night after they drew a season-low 12,061 fans, the Reds sold 16,973 tickets for one of their pet promotion games — fans were allowed to bring dogs.
The Reds took control of the NL Central by putting up the best record in the majors during August, going 19-8 while pulling away from St. Louis. They're 5-8 in September but have maintained their lead — seven games coming in — while the Cardinals crumbed.
Arizona has struggled against the Reds, dropping 13 of their last 16 games. This time, their
rookie starter got the better of Cincinnati's rookie starter.
The Reds got only two runners as far as second base against Hudson, who retired 14 of the last 15 he faced. Juan Gutierrez started the ninth and let Cincinnati load the bases on a pair of hits and lay Bruce's walk with two outs. Gutierrez hit Drew Stubbs on a 1-1 pitch, forcing in a run.
Right fielder Justin Upton ran down Ramon Martinez's liner toward the gap,securing Gutierrez's ninth save in 11 chances.
Arizona got the 23-year-old Hudson from the White Sox in the trade for right-hander Edwin Jackson on July 30. Hudson was
the NL's rookie of the month in August, going 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA. The only loss came against Cincinnati on Aug. 17 at Coors Field, where he struck out eight in the first three innings but dropped the game 6-2.
The 23-year-old Wood has a 4.73 ERA in his last six starts. He gave up three runs in five innings — the fourth time in his last five starts that he's failed to go more than five innings.
He was helped by the Diamondbacks' tendency to strike out. Arizona fanned 12 times, the seventh time in the last eight games that it's had at least 12 strikeouts in a game.
