Winning Big 12 tournament matches as a lower seed is nothing new for the Kansas soccer team. Winning them by four goals, however, is a bit of a new experience. The seventh-seeded Jayhawks used three goals in an eight-minute span to turn a narrow lead over No. 2 seed West Virginia on Monday night into a resounding result.
