KU soccer falls to new conference foe Houston at home Sunday

The Houston Cougars picked up their first road conference win since joining the Big 12 this season, and Kansas found itself the unlucky team on the other end of the result. KU more than tripled Houston's total number of shots Sunday at Rock Chalk Park, with sophomore Maree Shinkle's five shots for the Jayhawks equaling the total for all 19 of Houston's field players. However, the Jayhawks gave up a pair of ...

KU golfer Rothman breaks record with first career win

Not only did Kansas golfer Jordan Rothman post the best single round of her career Sunday, when she carded a 6-under 66, it was enough for her to surge into the lead at the Ron Moore Intercollegiate in Denver and win an event for the first time as a Jayhawk. Rothman, a junior from Cape Town, South Africa, entered the event with a stroke average of 71.17. She outdid herself in each of the three rounds, shooting ...

Notebook: Sands, Reid enter Ring of Honor

Kansas inducted the 24th and 25th members of its Ring of Honor at halftime Saturday, acknowledging running back Tony Sands (1988-91) and linebacker Nick Reid (2002-05) for their contributions to the Jayhawks’ football program. Sands, who rather serendipitously wore No. 24 at KU, set school records for rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns during his tenure with the Jayhawks, posting his ...

Playing with its backup quarterback Jason Bean, and entering as a home underdog against Big 12 Conference newcomer UCF, the Kansas football team dominated in all three phases from the opening whistle on its way to a resounding 51-22 victory. KU ran for 399 yards and five touchdowns, as the Knights couldn’t do anything to stop either Devin Neal, Daniel Hishaw Jr. or Dylan McDuffie. Bean was only needed for 12 ...

Jayhawks embraced run-first approach in preparing for UCF

Last week at Texas, the Kansas offense was disjointed, inconsistent and as head coach Lance Leipold put it, "non-rhythmatic." This week against UCF, the Jayhawks were back to their usual selves: workmanlike, efficient, yet still dynamic. And they were unified behind a single goal: running the football as much as they could. That common objective encompassed even players who might not necessarily get the ...

KU soccer still looking for first league win after loss to No. 23 TCU

The Kansas soccer team managed just one unsuccessful shot in the first half Thursday night and TCU countered with one goal, and that margin held for the rest of the match despite an offensive uptick from the Jayhawks. KU fell 1-0 on the road Thursday night to drop to 3-5-6 (0-4-3 in Big 12 Conference play). Skylar Heinrich threaded a pass through the KU defense to set up Gracie Brian for her sixth goal of the ...
