Kansas’ rough road trip continues

Jayhawks lose latest away game, fall to 3-9 in conference play

Thursday, October 25, 2007

For the Kansas volleyball team, the Horejsi Family Athletics Center probably never looked so good. Kansas’ road woes continued as the team fell 3-0 to Texas A&M Wednesday night in College Station, Texas. Kansas is 1-5 on the road in the Big 12 this year.

Kansas dropped to 10-12 and 3-9 in the Big 12 after its seventh loss in its last eight matches. Texas A&M improved to 17-6 and 6-6 in the Big 12.

The loss overshadowed another stellar performance from senior setter/right side Emily Brown. Brown recorded a triple-double with 11 kills, 22 assists and 12 digs.

Senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart added eight kills and five block assists while registering a team-high .500 hitting percentage.

Freshman libero Melissa Manda had 16 digs to lead the Jayhawks defensively, while sophomore setter Katie Martincich pitched in 12 assists.

But in the end, Texas A&M was efficient on offense, and Kansas wasn’t.

Texas A&M had a .308 hitting percentage, compared to Kansas’ .176 hitting percentage.

Three sophomores did most of the damage for Texas A&M. Outside hitter Sarah Ammerman led the Aggies with 16 kills, and Mary Batis, also an outside hitter, chipped in 13. Setter Kristen Schevikhoven finished with a game-high 44 assists.
