Kansas tennis team gets second conference win
Going on just two days rest, the Kansas tennis team (13-8 overall, 2-1 Big 12) earned its second conference victory of the season as the Jayhawks defeated 74th-ranked Kansas State 5-2, on Wednesday at the Washburn Tennis Facility in Manhattan.
Kansas avenged last year's loss to the Wildcats as seniors Courtney and Kristen Steinbock continued their winning ways as the twin sisters of Lubbock, Texas, defeated Maria Rosenberg and Paulina Castillejos 8-3. In the number two slot, Kansas State's Jessica Simosa and Judith Diaz nullified an 8-3 victory.
Matt Spencer, Derby freshman, Jess Dress, Overland Park senior, and Joe Christman, Hutchinson junior, took a few warm-up laps on Jayhawk Boulevard yesterday. The KU Cycling Club is preparing for an inter-collegiate race that will take place May 1 on campus. "The race will start here on Jayhawk and go around campus and down Memorial Drive," Spencer said.
out of senior Emily Haylock and freshman Ashley Filberth. The Jay-hawks responded in the third and final doubles match as sophomore Christa Skoda and

freshman Brittany Brown defeated Hayley Mclver and Emily Mickelson, 8-3.
Kansas' play remained as solid in singles action as it had been in doubles. Haylock won her match over Jessica Simosa in a tough three set affair, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. Skoda also went the distance with her opponent, Paulina Castilejos, winning 7-5, 6-7 (7-5), 6-1. Brown and Filberth both won their matches, 6-2, 6-2, and 6-2, respectively. For Filberth, it was her first career singles victory as a Jayhawk.
"I am so happy with this victory," coach Amy Hall said. "We played hard in every single match like we needed to."
Hall was critical of her team over the weekend after the loss to Texas Tech. She eluded to the fact that the Tech players wanted the match more than her own.
"I honestly feel like we are coming around and playing like the type of team that I know we are." Hall added.
Next for Kansas is a date with No. 48 Colorado at noon this Saturday in Boulder.

Kansas softball splits games against Bradley
"That's a ball," is a cheer the Kansas softball team yells whenever the opposing pitcher hurls a ball.

Kansas and Bradley University met for a double-header yesterday.
Bradley won game one 6-4,
while Kansas took game two 2-1
In game one, Kansas led 4-0 going into the top of the seventh inning. Kansas coach Tracy Bunge chose this moment to insert sophomore Serena Settemier at pitcher.
Settlemier, who is in the midst of rehab after a painful arm surgery, gave up four runs, on one hit. Pierce, who had started the game, returned to close. Bradlev
scored six in the seventh.

"I told my team after the first game, that first loss is bad coaching," she said.
Scheduled to start game two was freshman Kassie Humphreys. She was unable to start, because of back spasms in pregame warmups. Pierce stepped up and pitched all of game two.
The Jayhawks drove in one run in the first and added another in the second. Bradley's run came in the fifth.
Kansas was led by sophomore shortstop Destiny Frankenstein. She went 3-6, combined, and recorded an RBI.
Kansas will be in Oregon for four games before playing Baylor on March 27-28.

Is Illinois-Chicago a real school?
Maybe when Bill Self goes to the tanning booth he should take Padgett with him.
This goes to Mark Mangino. Words cannot explain how ridiculous it is that you won't let the Kansas Relays be in the locker room at Memorial Stadium. It is ridiculous.
Same flavor. Better location.
