Kansas volleyball hits the road to face Colorado

Friday, November 9, 2007

After falling to Big 12 conference leader and No. 3 ranked Texas on Wednesday, Kansas’ next opponent is on the opposite end of the Big 12 volleyball rankings. Kansas travels to Boulder, Colo., to play Colorado at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The Buffaloes come into the match with a 6-18 overall, a 1-15 record in the Big 12, and are tied for last in the Big 12 with Texas Tech. Colorado started the conference season with 14 consecutive losses, before picking up its first victory against Texas Tech on Nov. 3. Kansas was responsible for one of Colorado’s conference losses.

Kansas defeated Colorado 3-1 on Oct. 10 at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Freshman outside hitter Jenna Kaiser led Kansas with 19 kills, while senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart added 14 kills and the Jayhawks had one of their best offensive performances of the season, finishing with a .231 hitting percentage.

Kansas is 11-15 and 4-12 in the Big 12 after falling to Texas on Wednesday. Kansas sits in ninth place in the Big 12, two and a half games behind Baylor. After Colorado, Kansas finishes the rest of its schedule on the road against Kansas State on Nov. 14, at home against Iowa State on Nov. 17 and on road against Texas Tech on Nov. 21.

Three Jayhawks on ESPN Academic All-District Team

Senior setter/right side Emily Brown, junior middle blocker Savannah Noyes and sophomore setter Katie Martincich were named to the 2007 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Third Team.

Brown, the only Jayhawk to start all 26 games, has a 3.47 cumulative grade point average. Noyes and Martincich have maintained a 3.61 and 3.96 grade point average, respectively.

This is first time more than one Kansas volleyball player has earned the award in one year, according to a Kansas Athletics press release.
