KU soccer overwhelms Colorado College for 6-0 win

Kansas hadn't lost to Colorado College in its history in four tries and it certainly didn't buck that trend Sunday. The Jayhawks poured in three goals in each half, with junior Raena Childers scoring her first career brace along the way, and stayed unbeaten in nonconference play with a 6-0 win at Rock Chalk Park.

KU Fall Sports Preview: Healthier soccer team hoping to fulfill high potential

By the end of last season it might have been easier to count the Kansas soccer players who were available to play, rather than those who were out.

Late Vanderbilt equalizer puts damper on KU soccer's home opener

Four hours after the initially scheduled start time of Thursday night's match at Rock Chalk Park, Vanderbilt finally found the back of the net.
