Kansas University soccer player Carmel Kaplinger suffered a broken leg in a 2-0 exhibition victory over Oklahoma State in the KU Spring Classic last weekend.
Kaplinger, who transferred to KU from Louisville, should be ready for the fall regular season.
“The good news is the injury will not require surgery,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “It was a pretty clean break and I told her that is much better than ligament damage, or something that would keep her our for a much longer period.”
Kansas also edged Southwest Missouri State, 2-1, on two goals by Natalie Hoogveld and bowed to Tulsa, 1-0.
Pardis Brown, a Kansas University sophomore from Salt Lake City, has been named to the second team of the All-Big 12 Conference soccer team.
Brown, a transfer from Portland U., was also named to the league’s All-Newcomer team. Brown is married to Chris Brown, who plays for the Kansas City Wizards.
Jayhawks named to the all-academic team were Emma DiCesare, Meghann Haven, Lindsey Horner, Johanna Larsson, Kathryn Lents and Nikke Wahle.
