Jayhawks Lose First Spring Game

Kansas Soccer vs. Missouri St.

Kansas fell 1-0 to Missouri State at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Coach Mark Francis said he didn’t take many positives away from the game and was disappointed with the way his team competed against the Lady Bears. Although the Jayhawks were able control possession at times, they weren’t able to convert the few chances they created. Sophomore midfielder Monica Dolinsky had perhaps the best chance when her free kick from about 25 yards struck the post. Kansas and Missouri State met last fall with the Jayhawks recording a 1-0 victory in overtime.

Williams Injured

After starting 18 games during the fall, freshman defender Katie Williams missed Saturday’s game because of injury. Williams was named to the Soccer Buzz Central Region All-Freshman Team for her performance in the Jayhawks’ backline. She was third on the team with three goals. She said she expected to be back by Kansas’ next game against Nebraska on March 30.

New Recruits

Coach Mark Francis announced five freshman will join Kansas next season on Feb. 7. Kelsey Clifton, Wichita; Kortney Clifton, Wichita; Kat Liebetrau, Centennial, Colo.; Sierra Miramontez, Lenexa; and Jordyn Purdue, Pickerington, Ohio, will join the squad in the fall. The class includes two midfielders and a forward, defender and goalkeeper. UCLA transfer Sarah Salazar will also join the Jayhawks in the fall. Francis said he expected the class to push for playing time immediately.

Assistant Coach Joins Ranks

Former Nevada assistant and interim head coach Antoinette Marjanovic has joined coach Mark Francis’ staff as an assistant replacing Kara Lowery, who is now at Oklahoma. Francis said Marjanovic would bring strong recruiting ties on the West coast and a reputation as a talent developer.
