TALLAHASSEE, FLA. Amanda Jobe and Stevie Crisosto each homered, backing a strong performance by Kassie Humphreys in the circle, as the Kansas University softball team knocked off Memphis, 5-2, on Saturday night to win the 2007 Sunshine State Tournament.
The victory gave KU (5-3-1) a 3-1 mark in the tournament, good enough for the title as the Jayhawks won the tiebreaker courtesy of their 1-0 victory Friday against host Florida State.
Jobe's two-run homer in the top of the second gave KU an early 2-0 lead, and Crisosto added a three-run blast in the third to push the advantage to 5-0.
Humphreys was named the tournament MVP, while Jobe and Crisosto joined her on the all-tournament team.
Earlier Saturday, the Jayhawks claimed a 10-2 rout against Jacksonville.
KU will return to action Friday at the Red and Black Tournament in Louisville, Ky.

This team could be really good this year. No practice time outside but playing good early. With Kassie on the mound we won't lose many games. Look for Val and Sarah to develop as the year goes along and we could be a better overall team than last year.
Bunge has oddly started being a better coach since we have an AD behind her!
Rock Chalk!
