Softball team enters rankings

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

Kansas softball replaced Virginia Tech as the 25th-ranked team in the nation, according to the newly released ESPN.com/USA Softball poll. The Jayhawks received 32 votes after upsetting then-No. 7 Arizona and No. 11 Northwestern in the Kajikawa Classic last weekend.

Arizona fell three spots to No. 10, and Northwestern maintained its ranking. Feb. 10 marks the first time since June 2006 that Kansas softball has been listed as a top-25 program. The Jayhawks travel to Orlando, Fla., this weekend to participate in the UCF Invitational. There they will have an opportunity to upset yet another ranked opponent in No. 12 Tennessee, whom they play Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
