Jayhawks collect fouls and end their streak
BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
After the victory against Nebraska on Saturday, sophomore forward Carolyn Davis said that she needed to perform better on the road. She acknowledged that success would take more control on defense and fouls. Last night, Davis and the other forwards fell into foul trouble once again.
Kansas fell to No. 24 Iowa State 72-36, ending a three-game winning streak. The Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones earlier this season 86-85 in overtime.
"It was all mental, we beat them the first game, but we didn't come out with the mental game," Engelman said in an interview with 1320 KLWN.
With trouble in the paint, sophomore guard Monica Engelman stepped up to lead the team with 13 points, three assists, three steals and three rebounds in 37 minutes. She was the only Jayhawk in double figures. The next scorer was Davis with six points.
Davis ended the game with four fouls. Freshman Tania Jackson and senior Krysten Boogaard finished with three fouls and junior Aishah Sutherland had two.
Kansas shot a measly 30 percent from the floor compared to a 54 percent performance from Iowa State. Kansas also committed 19
turnovers.
"It got ugly in a hurry", said coach Bonnie Henrickson in an interview with 1320 KLWN.
Kansas never led in the game, but brought the lead down to three late in the first half. Though behind, the Jayhawks stayed focused on defense.
In the second half, however, the game got out of control quickly.
Iowa State went on a 42-9 run in the last 17 minutes of play.
"We couldn't stop the bleeding." Henrickson said.
Then, Kansas did not score for the final four and a half minutes.

"You can't just go out onto the court looking like a fool; you have to fight for the whole game," Engelman said.
Kansas will face Kansas State on Saturday for a Senior Night outing to celebrate the careers of Boogaard and guard Marisha Brown, who was reinstated after a two-game suspension. The Jayhawks record sits at a 19-10 overall and 6-9 in conference play.
The layhawks still hope to go to the NCAA tournament this season and have a better chance with a .500 record in conference play.
"The opportunity is still there,
but we have to work a little bit harder
to get there," Engelman said.
