Softball team to play last tournament

Friday, October 9, 2009

This weekend the Kansas softball team will have their second and final tournament of the fall season. The KU Fall Invite will be played in Lawrence with teams from Johnson County Community College, Butler County Community College and Cowley County Community College.

Last weekend the Jayhawks played scrimmages against Emporia State, Washburn and Central Missouri. Kansas beat Central Missouri 7-6 and beat Washburn 7-0 but fell to Emporia State 6-5. This was the first tournament for new head coach Megan Smith and she said there was still work to be done.

“I saw some things we need to work on but I saw a lot more positive aspects,” Smith said in a prepared statement.

Johnson County Community College is a member of the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference. The last two years, JCCC qualified for the Division II NJCAA National Tournament, taking fifth in 2008. So far they have played scrimmages against Maple Woods Community College, Missouri, UMKC and Iowa Central Community College. Today they will play against Park University at 3:30 p.m.

The Cowley County Community College Tigers from Arkansas City, Kan. have played several scrimmages this fall. The Butler County Community College Grizzlies will come from El Dorado, Kan. for the games this weekend. Both teams are also from the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference.

Kansas will play against JCCC on Saturday at 2 p.m. and again on Sunday at 11 a.m. They will play against BCCC on Saturday at 4 p.m. and CCCC on Sunday at 1 p.m.
