Kansas won for the first time this spring by posting a 1-0 victory against Arkansas at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Saturday.

The Jayhawks scored the game’s lone goal in the first half when sophomore defender Katie Williams got a head to a Shannon McCabe corner kick. Williams scored three goals in 2008 and McCabe, a junior forward, contributed five assists.

The defense also posted a shutout with freshman Kat Liebetrau in goal.

“I thought we played really well defensively,” Kansas coach Mark Francis said in a statement. “We competed well today, which is something we talked about after last week. I didn’t think the game had much rhythm, but I think we did a good job of battling.”
