Men’s Club Soccer hopes to keep the record alive

Friday, April 18, 2008

The KU Men’s Club Soccer team looks to avenge its national title loss to Missouri in the upcoming Chartrand Memorial Tournament this weekend at Kansas State University.

The last time the Jayhawks and Tigers met was in the finals of the national tournament, which was held last fall in Florida. The title game ended with Missouri winning in dramatic fashion, outscoring KU in a shootout. The Chartrand Memorial Tournament, the only tournament the Jayhawks participate in during their offseason, will showcase the two rivals in KU’s first game Saturday. Team president Nick Allen, Boulder, Colo., junior, said the tournament would be tough, as many of the teams had played well against the Jayhawks in the past.

KU Men’s Club Soccer Road to a Repeat: — 2 p.m. Saturday vs. Missouri — 8 p.m. Saturday vs. Pittsburg State — 8 a.m. Sunday vs. Friends University — Semi-finals: Sunday, time TBD — Finals: Sunday, time TBD All games are played at Memorial Stadium and Anneberg Park in Manhattan

“K-State is really good, but Missouri is definitely the toughest and our biggest rival,” Allen said. “We definitely want revenge after our loss to them in the finals at Nationals. It should be a really fun game.”

The Jayhawks seek to extend their winning record at the tournament. In the 28-year history of the event, KU has taken the title 10 times, more than any other team. The Jayhawks are also the defending champions going into the weekend. Allen said the tournament was always a big deal because all of KU’s nearby rivals usually participate. Midfielder Casey Aull, Libertyville, Ill., senior, agreed with Allen that beating your rivals on their own turf was something to strive for.

“As you can imagine, the K-State fans are complete idiots,” Aull said. “It’s really gratifying to get them to shut up.”

Aull, who earned All-Tournament Team honors at Nationals last fall, looks to help KU silence all the opposing fans.
