Soccer team preps for season with two ties

The Kansas women's soccer team tied two exhibition matches yesterday against club teams at Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks tied both the Challenge Soccer Club of Houston 1-1 and Tulaa Soccer Club 0-0. Sophomore forward Carmel Kaplinger scored the only Kansas goal of the day against Challenge S.C. She also remained active against Tulaa S.C. by creating several goal opportunities for the Jayhawks.
Coach Mark Francis said that both games offered a similar level of challenge to his team, and that the matches would help the Jayhawks prepare for the upcoming season.
Despite pressuring Tulsa S.C. for most of the second half, Kansas was unable to score more than once in the two matches.
Kaplinger had an 18-yard drive tipped over the bar in the second half against Tulsa S.C. and freshman midfielder Maggie Mason had a header attempt rolled weakly into Tulsa's goalkeeper's arms for two of the Jayhawks two best chances in the game.
"Both teams came in and gave us a good game, which is why we brought them in this weekend," Francis said. "On our part, we did a very good job in the defensive and middle thirds of the field, but in the attacking third we had chances and need to finish better. That has been a problem for us and we are continuing to work on that."
Francis said he liked the way the defense and midfield positioned without the ball, even though he acknowledged several players were not playing in their original positions.
"I'm pretty happy with how we did," Francis said. "But we look to improve individually and as a group."
Francis said that one of the most positive aspects of yesterday's games was that the Jayhawks only gave up one goal in the two matches.
Kaplinger said that even though the
team still needed to improve for the next season, it had played good games against Challenge S.C. and Tulsa S.C.
"I just wish I had scored more goals," Kaplinger said.
The Jayhawks played the matches on the new Astroplay surface at Memorial Stadium and were the first soccer contests to take place on the six-month-old surface.
The surface is used in the United States primarily for American football, but it is used by European professional soccer clubs.
The two games marked the first eleven-a-side matches for the 'Hawks since the end of last season in November.
They had played three seven-a-side matches on March 3, in Tulsa, Okla. The 'Hawks then defeated Southern Nazarent 6-0 in the first game before dropping a 3-1 decision to Oral Roberts and a 7-6 result to a team of coaches.
The Jayhawks will play again on Sunday, April 1, in Memphis, Tenn., at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex. Edited by Jon Pillman
