Julie Hanley

Meet The Jayhawks

HEADLINES • Senior Julie Hanley returns for her senior season between the pipes and is joined by a pair of talented freshmen: Kat Liebetrau and Logan Reed. • Hanley started all but one match for KU in 2008, posting a 13-8-1 record and five shutouts. • Hanley ranks second all-time at KU in goals against average (1.25), second in career shutouts (14) and second in career wins (31). • She earned TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Week honors following her shutout of No. 6 Texas A&M on Oct. 17 last season. The redshirt senior became the first Jayhawk goalkeeper to blank the Aggies since Meghan Miller in 2004. • Liebetrau is a talented freshman from Centennial, Colo., who took a redshirt year in 2008. • In high school, she was named the Colorado State Tournament MVP in 2006, leading her team to a state championship. • Reed, a true freshman from Dallas, Texas, also enjoyed a very successful high school carer. Her school – Greenhill High School – won two Southwest Prep Division I titles during her career.

Coaches/Staff

COACH MILLER ON THE GOALKEEPERS: “I think we’ll have a top-level goalkeeping crew this year. Being a fifth-year senior and a captain, Julie Hanley will bring veteran leadership and experience to the position. Redshirt freshman Kat Liebetrau had a great spring, improving all aspects of her game and is developing into a solid goalkeeper. Newcomer Logan Reed is an incoming freshman that has a lot of potential. She has good size and athletic ability. We’re very excited about the ability of this goalkeeping staff to win us matches.”

Notes 2008 Far West Region All-American A 2008 all-state selection (Colorado)

HEADLINES • Kansas returns a veteran group of defenders, including all four starters from last season. • Senior Kim Boyer started a handful of matches as a forward before switching over to the backfield midway through the season. • Junior Lauren Jackson started all but one match during her sophomore season, and finished second on the team in minutes (1,858). • Senior Estelle Johnson earned all-region honors for the second-straight season, and set a Kansas record with 2,110 minutes on the field. She has quietly become one of the best defensive players in the country. • Junior Katie Williams is solid defensively, and also contributes on set plays on the offensive end. Williams leads all KU defenders with six goals and 14 points in her career. • Junior Geneva Magness is also a solid player that started the first 12 matches on the left side. As she continues to develop, she will challenge the four incumbant starters for playing time. • Junior Caitlin Noble came off the bench in 17 matches as a forward, but will likely see more time as a defender or midfielder this season. • Sophomore Alex Winchester is a capable player who will look for more playing time in 2009. • High School All-American Tori Baldridge rounds out this deep unit. Baldridge is one of the top players from this year’s recruiting class and according to Francis will “challenge for a starting spot right away”.

COACH FRANCIS ON THE DEFENDERS: “Defensively, this will be one of the strongest squads we’ve had at KU. Our backline will be more athletic from top to bottom with the abilty to go forward in the attack. We return seven players from last year, including all-region selection Estelle Johnson and four other starters. Two new freshmen, Tori Baldridge and Shelby Williamson, along with converted forward Caitlin Noble, will bolster the backline.”

Her assist total was tied for the secondmost in team history. • She was also an all-region and an All-Big 12 First team selection. • Sophomore Jordyn Perdue saw the most action last year, appearing in 14 • Sophomore matches, including one start. • Fellow sophomore Sierra Miramontez also appeared in 11 matches in • Fellow sophomore 2008 and hopes to earn a starting role. • Juniors Erin Ellefson, Erin Lewis and Rachel Morris also contributed in • Juniors reserve roles last season, and will all be looking to increase their minutes. • Ellefson scored her first career goal last season, while Morris has two goals and five points in her career. • Sophomore Jeannette Francia will also look for an increase in playing time this season. • Talented freshmen Nicole Chrisopulos and Sarah Robbins will push for minutes this season. • Chrisopulos is a three-time all-district selection from Rowlett High School in Texas. • Robbins was a gold medalist at the Canadian All-Star Championships in 2007, and was in the Canadian National Team pool the last four seasons.

COACH FRANCIS ON THE MIDFIELDERS: “The midfield will be young after graduating two, four-year starters, yet will return all-region selection Monica Dolinsky. We have high hopes for the returning midfielders and freshmen Nicole Chrisopulos and Sarah Robbins. What this class lacks in experience, it will make up for in its ability play multiple styles.”

HEADLINES • The Jayhawks return all three starters at the forward position, including All-Big 12 Tournament selection Shannon McCabe and Big 12 Rookie of the Year Emily Cressy. • Cressy scored goals in four of her first five contests and finished tied with McCabe for the team-lead in game-winning goals (four). She became the first Jayhawk to be named Big 12 Rookie of the Year. • While Cressy got off to the fast start, it was McCabe who finished strong, scoring seven goals over the final nine contests of the season. She tallied the game-winner in KU’s 2-1 NCAA Tournament victory over Denver. • Sophomore Kortney Clifton is the third returning starter, and will look to improve on her five goals and 11 points from last season. • Kortney’s twin sister Kelsey Clifton also provides speed on the outside and will look to increase her playing time. She came off the bench in 17 of KU’s 23 contests in 2008. • Junior Kaitlyn Cunningham played well as a possession forward and will likely remain in the same role this season. • Freshmen Whitney Berry, Amy Grow and Jamie White add talent to a deep unit. • Berry was an all-region selection this past year at Goddard High School, and scored 166 goals in her first three years of high school. • Grow, the Oklahoma 5A record-holder for career goals scored, and White both played on a strong high school programs. `

Kansas Traditions Introduction This is Kansas Soccer

The Rock Chalk Chant The Rock Chalk Chant has been the battle cry of KU fans for more than 80 years. This strange, traditional chant, which is among the most famous of all college cheers, was started by E.H.S. Bailey, a professor of chemistry. Bailey wanted a cheer for his Science Club. Returning from a convention in Wichita, Bailey and some associates patterned a yell after the rhythmic cadence of their train rolling along the tracks. On May 21, 1886, Bailey submitted the cheer to his club.

Meet The Jayhawks

Before the University adopted the cheer in 1897, it consisted of “Rah, Rah, Jayhawk, KU” being repeated three times. An English professor soon suggested that “Rock Chalk” be substituted for “Rah, Rah” because it rhymed with Jayhawk. “Rock Chalk” was also symbolic of the chalky limestone formations found on Mount Oread. Teddy Roosevelt once said the Rock Chalk chant was the best he had ever heard.

Coaches/Staff

Campanile Hill Campanile Hill forms the picturesque backdrop for Memorial Stadium. On a sunny fall Saturday, the “Hill” is transformed into a congregating place for watching Jayhawk football, sunning and barbequing. Potter Lake, just to the southeast of Memorial Stadium and at the bottom of Campanile Hill, adds to the beauty of the Kansas campus.

2009 Opponents

Waving The Wheat Since the early days of KU sports, it has been a ritual of Jayhawk fans to “wave the wheat” following every Kansas scoring drive. The ritual consists of fans waving their arms in the air, an activity which, when done by a large crowd, resembles a breezy Kansas wheat field.

2008 In Review

The Nickname During the Civil War a regiment raised by Kansas Governor Charles Robinson called itself the “Independent Mounted Jayhawks” (later officially the First Kansas Calvary and then the Seventh Kansas Regiment). By the end of the Civil War the word Jayhawk was associated with the spirit of camaraderie and the courageous fighting qualities that characterized efforts to keep Kansas a free state.

Jayhawk History

By 1886, the University of Kansas had adopted the mythical bird as part of the KU yell. When the university’s football team first took the field in 1890, it seemed only natural that they should be called Jayhawkers. Few colleges and universities have such a meaningful symbol, one so deeply associated with the struggles of the people who founded them.

1912

16

What’s a Jayhawk? The University of Kansas is home of the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with a fascinating history. Its origin is rooted in the historic struggles of Kansas settlers. The term “Jayhawk” was probably coined about 1848. Accounts of its use appeared from Illinois to Texas. The name combines two birds - the blue jay, a noisy, quarrelsome thing known to rob other nests, and the sparrow hawk, a stealthy hunter. The message here: Don’t turn your back on this bird.

Kansas Traditions Introduction

The Fight Song George “Dumpy” Bowles, a student with the class of 1912, longed to make a great contribution to the KU spirit, but wasn’t athletic enough to do historic deeds on the athletic field. He turned to music and produced some outstanding student musical shows.

This is Kansas Soccer

A song in one of these shows was “I’m a Jayhawk.” Written in 1912, it was dormant until 1920 when a growth in school spirit brought out “I’m a Jayhawk” once more. The song contributed to the raising of funds to build both the KU football stadium and student union as World War I memorials. The 1926 glee club made it known nationally.

Coaches/Staff Jayhawk History

2008 In Review

Some Yale men were on the faculty, and they demanded the Yale blue be included. The rooters rallied forth to allow crimson and blue on their team. No one fought to retain the original colors, and the vivid deeper tone crimson and blue became generally used. Finally, in May 1896, the KU Athletic Board adopted crimson and blue as the official team colors for the university.

The Alma Mater In 1891, professor George Barlow Penny searched for a school song for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing on its tour through Kansas to Denver and back. No one responded with an original song in answer to his appeals. Just before departure, he thought of the Cornell song “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters.” Hastily changing a few words, he gave it to the glee club men to sing on the trip. He did not expect the song to be used after their return, but “Crimson and the Blue” still goes on. The music is not Cornell’s but an old English folk tune, “Annie Lisle.”

2009 Opponents

Maize and blue were used at early oratorical meets, and they may have been used when Kansas competed in rowing in the middle 1880s. However, when football came upon the scene in 1890, the student backers wanted to use Harvard crimson as the athletic color in honor of Col. John J. McCook, a Harvard man, who had given money for an athletic field at KU. That field ran east and west in the proximity of where the north bowl of Memorial Stadium stands on the Kansas campus today.

Meet The Jayhawks

The School Colors The University of Kansas colors, crimson and blue, used since the early 1890s, are not the colors originally adopted by the university Board of Regents in the 1860s. The Regents had decided to adopt the Michigan colors, maize and sky blue.

Despite injuries to key players early in the season, the Jayhawks reached their eighth-straight Big 12 Soccer Championship in San Antonio. KU capped its thrilling run in Big 12 play with a memorable 2-1 triumph over nationally-ranked Missouri in the final contest of the regular season.

The Big 12 Conference Introduction

The Big 12 Conference has established a consistent level of national success on the field and in the classroom as it enters its 14th season in 2009-10.

This is Kansas Soccer

Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 34 team crowns and over 400 individual NCAA Championships. The success continued through 2008-09 as Texas A&M captured national titles in men’s golf as well as men’s and women’s outdoor track & field. The league placed two teams in the Bowl Championship Series for the fifth time and had a team play for the BCS National Championship for the sixth season. In addition, two volleyball teams advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Championship and Oklahoma played in the Women’s Final Four. Missouri softball and Texas baseball punched tickets to the College World Series.

Meet The Jayhawks Coaches/Staff

Among individual honors, Sally Kipyego (Texas Tech) became the first NCAA Division I female or male runner to win three consecutive cross country national championships. She was named the Honda Award winner for the third season as the nation’s top female cross country athlete, becoming just the eighth athlete to win the award three times in any sport. Jenny Barringer (Colorado) claimed the Honda Award for Track & Field while Oleksandr Nedovyesov (Oklahoma State) was named ITA/Campbell’s Tennis Player of the Year. For the fourth time in its 13-year history a Big 12 studentathlete won the Heisman Trophy. The Big 12 also established a high-water mark, as for the first time in the 74-year history of the Heisman Trophy four of the top five vote-getters hailed from the same conference, including award-winner Sam Bradford (Oklahoma).

2009 Opponents

Over the past five seasons a total of 13 NCAA trophies have been hoisted by Big 12 institutions, with at least one national crown won in all but one year for the Conference, including each of the past 12 seasons.

2008 In Review

The Big 12 leads all conferences with its six appearances in BCS title games.

The Big 12 and its member institutions are committed to a competitive environment where sportsmanship and fair play take center stage. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or within the community, the studentathletes, administrators, coaches and game officials of the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship. Big 12 student-athletes also do well in garnering national academic recognition. Sarah Pavan (Nebraska) was named Academic All-America of the Year in volleyball in 2006 and 2007 by ESPN The Magazine and College Sports Information Directors of America with a 4.0 grade-point average in Biochemistry. She also won the national academic honor presented for all sports in 2006-07 and was named recipient of the prestigious 2006-07 HondaBroderick Award as Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. She is the first athlete since the Big 12 was formed to earn the accolade. In its history, the conference has over 330 academic honorees, averaging more than 25 each season. The Big 12 can boast of other stories that combine on and off the field success. Patience Knight (Texas Tech) was the recipient of the Honda Inspiration Award in 2008, given to an outstanding female college athlete who overcomes adversity to excel in her sport. She was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in 2007, but rebounded to win All-America honors at the 2008 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Competitive excellence, scholarship and sportsmanship are all equal components of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized for each sport at the end of their respective seasons. At the end of each academic year, the Conference honors its top male and female student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year awards. Institutions can also nominate student-athletes for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of each academic year. A total of 225 scholars have received over 1.3 million in postgraduate financial aid through the first 13 years of the program. The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, soccer, softball, swimming,

tennis and volleyball. The conference is made up of 12 institutions that have shared many traditional rivalries throughout their histories. Member schools include - Baylor University, University of Colorado, Iowa State University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 45 million people and television households in 18 of the top 100 markets within its geographic footprint. The conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Conference in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series. In the last several years the Big 12 has increased its bowl agreements and expanded television opportunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN and FSN. Most recently, the league renewed and expanded its multi-year arrangement with ABC/ESPN, Inc. The new contract began in 2008-09. In its first 13 years, the Conference has distributed more than 1.1 billion to its 12 member institutions. The Big 12 staff administers to over 4,600 student-athletes in 21 sports. The conference office is headquartered in Irving, Texas.

2008 Season Review Introduction This is Kansas Soccer

Kansas soccer celebrated a return trip to the NCAA Tournament and a 13-win season in 2008. The team, which produced the second-most goals in school history, will likely be remembered as a team that overcame adversity at nearly every turn to reach national prominence again. The Jayhawks entered the Big 12 Soccer Championship in a familiar place, needing at least one win to stay alive for the NCAA Tournament. Unlike recent trips to San Antonio, this time the Jayhawks broke through. Kansas scored a 4-2 upset of the tournament’s No. 2 seed Texas A&M to advance to the semifinal round of the Big 12 Championship for the first time since 2004. One week later, KU earned its first NCAA Tournament win in four years with a 2-1 triumph over Denver in a first round match in Palo Alto, Calif.

Meet The Jayhawks

Return to Prominence

Coaches/Staff 2009 Opponents

After suffering through its first losing campaign in several seasons in 2007, the Jayhawks were back with a vengence in 2008. Kansas won 13 matches – its highest win total since 2004 – and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in four seasons. After defeating No. 20 Purdue to open the season on Aug. 22, the Jayhawks earned a spot in the Top 25 polls and were ranked during the first five weeks of the regular season. This marked the sixth-straight year that KU has been ranked in the Top 25 for at least one week. KU ascended as high as No. 18 in the polls (Sept. 9 and Sept. 23), and finished the season receiving votes in both the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and Soccer Times polls.

Facing the Best

2008 In Review

The Jayhawks played one of the most difficult schedules in 2008 as its opponents had a combined record of 284-167-43 (.619). KU faced a school-record 11 nationally ranked teams, including four matches against teams ranked in the Top 10. Of KU’s 23 contests in 2008, 12 were against teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, while four (vs. Texas

A&M (twice), Florida and Stanford) matches were against teams that advanced to the round of 16. KU’s second round opponent in the NCAA Tournament, Stanford, reached the national semifinals (round of four).

Downing Ranked Opponents Kansas matched a school record with four wins against Top 25 opponents in 2008, including a pair of victories over a sixth-ranked and an eighth-ranked Texas A&M team. Prior to 2008, the Jayhawks had just one win in program history over the Aggies. It became just the third team since 2001 to defeat Texas A&M twice in the same season. KU also claimed wins over No. 20 Purdue and No. 18 UCF, and tied No. 18 Missouri at the Big 12 Championship.

Prolific Offense The Jayhawk offense improved by leaps and bounds in 2008, scoring 45 goals – the second-highest total in team history – and producing 126 points. KU averaged nearly two goals per game (1.96), which was up nearly a goal per game from its 2007 total (1.10). Junior Monica Dolinsky recorded the fourthhighest scoring season in Jayhawk history with nine

A Day for the Record Books

Jayhawk History

KU’s offense enjoyed the most productive day in school history on Oct. 19, when it drilled visiting Francis Marion, 7-0. The Jayhawks’ seven goals were the most in school history, while the seven-goal margin of victory was also a program record. The Jayhawks scored five of their seven goals in the second half, which was also the record for most goals in a half. The team registed 34 shots against the Patriots, which was two shy of the school record. Junior Shannon McCabe tied a school record by tallying three goals and seven total points (adding a second half assist). McCabe’s seven-point day has only been equalled one other time in KU history, by Caroline Smith in 2003. Her hat trick was the seventh in Jayhawk history, and first since Jessica Smith’s three-goal match in 2005. Two other Jayhawks, Monica Dolinsky and Emily Cressy, were also involved in multiple goals. Dolinsky recorded her team-leading seventh goal of the season and collected a pair of assists in the contest, while Cressy scored KU’s third goal just 36 seconds into the second half and assisted on Erin Ellefson’s goal.

goals, 10 assists and 28 points. Her season totals were the most productive since Caroline Smith’s junior campaign of 32 points. Dolinsky’s 10 assists also tied for the second-most by a Jayhawk in a single season. Junior Shannon McCabe also netted nine goals in 2008, including seven over the team’s final nine contests. Of her nine scoring strikes, four of them proved to be game-winners, which tied her for the team lead with freshman Emily Cressy. Cressy recorded eight goals and finished the season with 19 points after a fast start. The redshirt-freshman scored at least one point in five of the Jayhawks’ first seven matches of the season, including game-winners against Auburn and at No. 18 UCF.

2009 Kansas Soccer

While KU’s defense suffered through a pair of forgettable games at the end of the season, the Jayhawks also enjoyed some very good days on the defensive side of the ball. Perhaps none stood out as much as the team’s 1-0 shutout of No. 6 Texas A&M on Oct. 17. It marked one of just three times all season that the Aggies were blanked. The Jayhawks held Texas A&M to just three shots on net. KU also blanked No. 20 Purdue to open the season, holding the Boilermakers to just six shots in the contest and two on net. Junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley recorded five shutouts during the season, while the team blanked six opponents.

We Were Honored While the team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in recent memory, several Jayhawks received individual accolades during the course of the season. Forward Emily Cressy earned two national AllFreshman Team honors. She was a Second Team Freshman All-America selection by both Soccer America and TopDrawerSoccer.com. She became the first Freshman All-American at KU since Afton Sauer received the honor in 2004. Cressy was also named Big 12 Rookie of the Year, marking the first KU player to win this award. Juniors Monica Dolinsky and Estelle Johnson were both named All-Central Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Johnson was selected to the first team, while Dolinsky earned second team honors. A team-record three Jayhawks earned Big 12 Championship All-Tournament team honors, marking the most ever by a KU team in a single conference tournament. Juniors Dolinsky, Johnson and Shannon McCabe were all recognized for their efforts at the tournament in San Antonio. Dolinsky was named First Team All-Big 12, KU’s first All-Big 12 First Team selection since 2005 (Caroline Smith). Kansas had 10 Academic All-Big 12 selections, including nine on the first team which matched the school record (2003). Seniors Stephanie Baugh, Jessica Bush, Kristin Graves, Jenny Murtaugh and Sara Rogers along with juniors Julie Hanley, Estelle Johnson and Shannon McCabe and sophomore Katie Williams were KU’s first team honorees. Senior Missy Geha was named to the second team.

Jayhawk History

So Long Seniors Kansas said good-bye to six seniors following the 2008 season, including mainstays Jessica Bush, Missy Geha, Kristin Graves and Sara Rogers, who all played four years for the Crimson and Blue. Goalkeeper Stephanie Baugh and defender Jenny Murtaugh also played their last games in the Crimson and Blue. The group of seniors enjoyed one of the more successful runs in team history. In the last four years, the Jayhawks have won 42 matches, and placed in the top four of the Big 12 standings three times. KU has also been a great team at home, amassing a 24-13-1 mark (.645) at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, including a 7-3 record in 2008. This group of seniors has also been honored with five All-Big 12 selections as well as 12 Academic All-Big 12 picks.

Introduction

Postseason Success Kansas earned its first win in the Big 12 Soccer Championship since 2004, downing the No. 2 seed Texas A&M, 4-2 in the quarterfinal round of the conference tournament on Nov. 5. The Jayhawks rode a three-goal second half to victory, with scoring strikes by three different players. Junior Monica Dolinsky set a postseason record with three assists against the Aggies. One week after falling to third-seeded Missouri in Columbia by a 6-0 score, the Jayhawks played to a 1-1 tie with their Border Showdown rivals in the conference semis. Monica Dolinsky’s goal 6:23 into the match was the only scoring mustered by the Jayhawks. For the second time in three years, KU was eliminated from the conference tournament on penalty kicks. The Jayhawks posted their first NCAA Tournament win in four years with a 2-1 victory over Denver in Palo Alto, Calif. Katie Williams and Shannon McCabe both scored first half goals to lift the team to a 2-0 advantage at the halftime break. KU overcame a Pioneer goal early in the second half to claim the win. Despite going toe-to-toe with No. 3 overall seed Stanford in the second round, KU fell 5-0 to the Cardinal.

Postseason History Introduction This Is Kansas Soccer Meet Jayhawks Coaches/Staff 2009 Opponents 2008 In Review Jayhawk History

Competing for conference and national chanmpionships after the regular season has become an annual tradition for Kansas soccer under Mark Francis. Since Francis was named head coach in 1999, KU has missed the conference tournament just once – in his first season – and has qualified for the NCAA Tournament four times. KU’s first taste of the postseason came under Francis in 2000, when the Jayhawks qualified for the Big 12 Championship as the No. 8 seed and faced top seeded Nebraska. Despite holding the third-ranked Huskers scoreless in the first half, KU fell 4-0. The following season, the Jayhawks earned another trip to the Big 12 Championship, this time as the No. 4 seed, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. However, KU was eliminated in the first round of the tourney by BYU, 1-0. It wasn’t until 2003 that KU earned its first postseason victory. After posting a 6-3-1 Big 12 record during the regular season, the Jayhawks earned the No. 3 seed in the conference tourney and downed sixth-seeded Oklahoma, 1-0, in the opening round. Freshman Jessica Kilpatrick and sophomore Caroline Smith connected for the only goal of the match. The Jayhawks earned their second NCAA Tournament bid in 2003, after a 15-4-1 regular season. KU traveled to Columbia, Mo., for the first round of the tourney and came away with a pair of victories. KU dispatched of Illinois State, 3-1, in the first round on a pair of goals from Kilpatrick. The ‘Hawks then knocked off archrival Missouri, 2-0, to advance to the round of 16. Smith and senior Carmel Kaplinger scored the KU goals, while Meghan Miller made four saves to earn her 11th shutout of the season. The Jayhawks fell to national No. 2 seed UCLA in the round of 16, but enjoyed their deepest run in the national tournament. The following year, KU won the Big 12 regular season title and scored a postseason record four goals in its opening round triumph over Iowa State. In the conference quarterfinals, KU led fourth-seeded Texas 2-0, but eventually fell in double-overtime, 3-2. The 2004 NCAA Tournament brought another first to the KU program, as the Jayhawk Soccer Complex was selected to host first and second round contests for the first time. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton, 3-1, in the first round on goals by Afton Sauer, Jessica Smith and Monica Brothers. However, KU experienced more heartbreak in the second round. The Jayhawks outshot visiting Nebraska 17-1 in the second half, but could only manage a single goal, falling 2-1 in overtime. The 2006 season saw another first in Jayhawk postseason play as KU’s Big 12 Championship first-round match with Colorado came down to penalty kicks. The teams played through 90 minutes of regulation and two overtime periods tied 1-1. Kansas returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2008, posting a 2-1 victory over Denver in the first round in Palo Alto, Calif. Junior Shannon McCabe tallied the game-winning goal just seconds before the end of the first half – her third of the postseason. The Jayhawks eventually fell to top-seeded Stanford in the secondround of the tournament to end its season at 13-8-2. Just getting back to the national tourney took a strong run at the Big 12 Championship. The Jayhawks were the No. 7 seed in the conference tournament, but upset second-seeded Texas A&M, 4-2, in the quarterfinal round. Monica Dolinsky set a KU postseason record with three assists against the Aggies, while McCabe recorded a pair of goals. KU was eliminated from the Big 12 Championship on penalty kicks in the semifinals by Missouri, the eventual tournament champion. Jayhawk fans have been treated to several stirring postseason performances and will likely be witness to many more in the coming years.

Meet The Jayhawks

This is Kansas Soccer

Introduction

Returning most of the players that made the break-through 2003 season the most successful in school history, Kansas entered the 2004 season with high expectations and lofty goals. The year got off to a hot start as the Jayhawks rolled to five straight wins without allowing a goal and set up a showdown with then-No. 7 Clemson. The Jayhawks prevailed 3-1 in the match to give the program its first victory over a top-10 opponent and vault the Jayhawks into the national top 10. After completing non-conference play with an 8-1 mark and climbing to No. 8 in the national rankings, Kansas opened Big 12 play by hosting Nebraska at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. The team suffered a 1-0 setback to the Cornhuskers, but then rallied to win seven consecutive matches and take over sole possession of first place in the conference with only two games remaining in the race for the league crown. Despite dropping a 1-0 double overtime decision to Texas in Austin, KU returned to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex for its season finale against Iowa State needing a win to clinch a Big 12 co-championship with Texas A&M. The Jayhawks blew past the Cyclones, 4-0, to clinch the program’s first conference title. The Big 12 Championship was the second won by a Kansas women’s team, with the 1997 women’s basketball team owning the first. The Jayhawks, by virtue of their 1-0 victory over Texas A&M on Oct. 22, were the No. 1 seed at the 2004 Big 12 Soccer Championship in San Antonio, Texas. KU reached the tournament’s semifinal round by dispatching of Iowa State 4-1 in the first round on the strength of a career-high two goals by senior midfielder Amy Geha. Kansas fell in the semifinal round of the Big 12 Tournament, but the Jayhawks were prepared to make some noise on a bigger stage as they prepared for the NCAA Tournament. Following the 2004 regular season, Kansas received another first in program history, as the Jayhawk Soccer Complex was selected to host the first and second rounds of the 2004 NCAA Championship. The Jayhawks had made the tournament three of the last four seasons and entered the 2004 bracket as the No. 8 national seed. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton in the first round by a score of 3-1 to post only their third NCAA Tournament win and advanced beyond the first round for the second consecutive season. In the second round of action, Big 12 foe Nebraska awaited Kansas and despite holding a 27-8 advantage in shots, KU fell in overtime to the Huskers to finish the season with an impressive 18-5 mark.

2008 NCAA Tournament Introduction This Is Kansas Soccer Meet Jayhawks Coaches/Staff

Kansas returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and reached the second round of the tourney for the third time in team history. Kansas opened the season with five-straight victories, including an opening day upset of No. 20 Purdue, and finished the regular season with an 11-6-1 mark. Included in the Jayhawks’ 11 wins were triumphs over nationally-ranked Purdue, UCF and Texas A&M. KU spent the first four weeks of the regular season ranked among the Top 25, including a No. 18 ranking in the Soccer Buzz national poll on Sept. 22. However, after falling to Border Showdown rival Missouri in the final match of the regular season, the team’s NCAA Tournament hopes were in doubt when it entered the Big 12 Championship as the No. 7 seed. The Jayhawks were matched up with Texas A&M in the first round of the conference tournament. After Shannon McCabe gave KU a 1-0 lead in the first half, the Jayhawks opened the floodgates with three consecutive goals early in the second frame to oust the Aggies, 4-2. The Jayhawks were eliminated in the semifinal round by Missouri after playing to a 1-1 tie through regulation and two overtime periods. The strong showing at the conference championship earned the Jayhawks a spot in the NCAA Tournament, and a first-round match with Denver. The Pioneers were making their third-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, however, it was Kansas who came out firing in the first half, scoring a pair of goals and outshooting DU, 14-7. Denver rallied to cut the lead to 2-1 early in the second half, but the Kansas defense clamped down and held the Pioneers to just one shot on goal in the final 35 minutes of play. KU’s first-round victory marked the third straight time that the team has advanced out of the opening round, dating back to 2003. Kansas advanced to face the bracket’s No. 1 seed, Stanford, in the second round. After holding the Cardinal scoreless on their home field for the first 30 minutes, Stanford tallied three goals in a seven-minute span to end the Jayhawks’ season at 13-8-2.
