The Kansas volleyball team will conduct a spring scrimmage this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletic Center. Five other teams will participate: Rockhurst College, Benedictine, Nebraska-Omaha, Fort Hayes State and UMKC.

Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the games would be an opportunity for players to gain game experience and coaches to make evaluations outside of practice drills.

Saturday will be important for players who didn’t see regular time this fall. It will also be an opportunity for players like middle blocker Kristin Buehler, who took a redshirt in the fall, to participate for the first time.

“It’s a win-win situation for us,” Bechard said. “It gives the kids an opportunity to show us what they can do.”

Admission to the scrimmage will be free. The Jayhawks will play their first of three matches at 10 a.m. against UMKC. The Jayhawks will also play at 1 p.m. against Fort Hays State and 3 p.m. against Nebraska-Omaha.
