NORMAN, Okla. — The Michigan softball team couldn’t score on Kansas freshman Lila Partridge for eight innings on Friday and then proceeded to pile on four runs against her on Saturday without Partridge even recording an out. That was one of innumerable ways in which the Jayhawks’ and Wolverines’ rematch differed from their prior meeting, and the most prominent was in the final outcome, as Michigan won ...
Browsing a list of recent and upcoming international college football games reveals a clear pattern: They almost all take place before the season begins in earnest. North Carolina and TCU will face off in Ireland and N.C. State and Virginia in Brazil as part of this year’s Week 0, a chunk of games that takes place a week prior to the season proper.

The Kansas women's golf team finished seventh in NCAA regional competition in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the conclusion of its third and final round on Wednesday afternoon. KU, which had entered as the No. 7 seed in the regional, was looking for a second straight appearance in the NCAA National Championship in Carlsbad, California, which would have been the fifth overall in program history. But the Jayhawks ...
