It took until the 76th minute for the Kansas soccer team to score on Sunday afternoon, but the Jayhawks put in a pair of goals late and won on the road at Utah, 2-0. The Utes didn’t have a shot on target for the first 73 minutes, at which point a match that looked headed for what would have been a frustrating scoreless draw for the Jayhawks took a dramatic turn. Utah’s Lilliah Blum popped the ball between ...
Of the many factors that have contributed to Kansas State’s recent domination of Kansas, the Wildcats’ special-teams supremacy might be the most salient.

KU overhauled its roster in the offseason, and it could not have been clearer on Friday night, when top freshman recruit Darryn Peterson made six 3s — on his own — in the first half of the Jayhawks’ exhibition opener against Louisville at the KFC Yum!
