OPENING CONFERENCE PLAY ON THE ROAD
The KU soccer team will open conference play on the road this weekend. The Jayhawks will face off against Baylor at 7 tonight and play Texas A&M at 1 p.m. Sunday in College Station, Texas.
The Jayhawks begin conference play with one victory, seven losses and a tie. The team has scored two goals this season, one by Kim Boyer during overtime against Missouri State. The second goal, scored by Nicole Cauzillo against No. 25 Illinois, resulted in a 2-1 loss.
SHOWDOWN IN WACO, TEXAS
For the first time since 2002, Baylor, 6-2-1, will play host to Kansas on its turf, Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field. The Bears have not lost a game at home yet this season, going 4-0. Baylor returned 10 starters from last season, as well as 22 letter-winners.
Kansas and Baylor have played a total of 11 games against one another; each team has won five games, and they’ve tied once. The Jayhawks have won each of the past four meetings with the Bears.
11th TIME’S A CHARM?
Kansas will meet its familiar rival in College Station this weekend. The team has played the Aggies 10 times; the Jayhawks have lost eight of the games, played to one tie and won one, in 2004.
The Aggies, at 6-1-1 this season, were ranked No. 3 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll. The team returned 11 starters and 15 letter-winners this season.
