8 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RECAP
With McCray out, freshmen step up for win
The Jayhawks were in a hurry to prove that they could move on without their leader.
Kansas defeated Kansas State 70-60 in its first game without injured senior guard Danielle McCray. With the victory, Kansas jumped to 14-7 and 4-4 in the Big 12, extending the Jayhawks' winning streak to three games while also snapping a five-game losing streak against the Wildcats.
McCray, an Olathe native, tore the ACL in her left knee during Thursday's practice, ending her career at Kansas.
"Today's game was as much emotional adversity as it was physical adversity," Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said. "Emotion translated to execution."
As McCray sat between her coaches, knee braced, furiously scribbling observations in a notepad, freshman guard Monica Engelman was placed on center stage as the newest piece of the starting lineup. In her first collegiate start, Engelman, San Antonio, Texas, native, finished with a career-high 16 points while dishing out five assists.
Freshman forward Carolyn Davis was once again a force in the paint, using her size to her advantage on both ends of the court. She earned her second career double-double, tallying 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of play.
Despite Engelman and Davis' top-notch play, Sunday's victory was made possible by team-wide contributions. Rallying off of McCray's injury, the Jayhawks shot 60 percent in the second half and played passionately in a triumph that they sorely needed.
