KU women fall again to Nebraska

By J-W Staff Reports     Feb 15, 2006

Kansas battled Nebraska to seven ties and 13 lead changes Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse. But eventually it was the Jayhawks that fell, losing their sixth game in seven tries in a 65-57 defeat at the hands of Nebraska.

“Everytime we would make a run at them (Nebraska) they seemed to counter with a big shot,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Give them credit for showing great poise even when they had some key players in foul trouble.

“We could have won three or four more games if we had done some little things defensively when our offense wasn’t there. We just have to keep fighting.”

Senior forward Crystal Kemp led all scorers with 19 points and also collected six rebounds. Kemp, who was recently named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District team, continued to climb the Kansas career lists, moving into eighth place all-time in scoring. She now has 1,520 points for her career. She also swatted the 86th block of her career, moving her into eighth place all-time on that list as well.

“I thought we’d be in a little bit better position in the Big 12, but unfortunately we are not,” Kemp said. “We are just going to try and put everything behind us and take it one game at a time. We have four games left to try and get it right.”

Senior guard Erica Hallman added 15 points and six rebounds for the Jayhawks (14-9, 3-9 Big 12). She was a perfect 8-of-8 from the free throw line and also dished out a team-high five assists. Senior guard Kaylee Brown chipped in 11 points and three 3-pointers, all in the second half. She also tied a season high with her five rebounds.

“It seems kind of frustrating right now because we get a win and three losses, a win and three losses,” Brown said. “We just need to get on a winning streak. We need to figure out a way to do that.”

The Jayhawks were a perfect 13-of-13 from the charity stripe, the second time this season the Jayhawks did not miss a free throw attempt. KU also outscored Nebraska 13-3 in second chance points.

Kansas trailed 28-25 at halftime. Kemp led the Jayhawks into the break with 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Freshman forward Marija Zinic added four points in the first half and finished the game with a career-high three assists.

Kansas hits the road for its next game, traveling to Ames, Iowa, to take on Iowa State on Saturday, Feb. 19 at 1 p.m.

KU women fall 64-57 to Mizzou

By J-W Staff Reports     Feb 11, 2006

Kansas University’s women fell to Missouri, 64-57, Saturday afternoon at the Mizzou Sports Arena in
Columbia, Mo. The loss dropped KU to 14-8 overall and 3-8 in the Big 12, while the Tigers improved to 17-6 overall and 7-4 in the league.

Senior Erica Hallman drained four three-pointers for a team-high 19 points to lead Kansas, which wore its red road uniforms for the second time this season. Senior Crystal Kemp added 18 points and a team-best nine rebounds.

The Tigers were paced by senior guard LaToya Bond with 31 points. Senior center Christelle N’Garsanet added 20 points and 12 boards.

The Jayhawks shot 42.9 percent from the field and grabbed 27 rebounds, while MU shot 44.9 percent and snared 34 boards.

After Missouri scored the first basket of the game, the Jayhawks took the lead at the 17:10 mark of the first half on a Hallman trey. KU maintained the lead for the entire first half and led 30-25 at the break.

For the first six minutes of the second half, KU continued to hold a narrow lead. Missouri tied the game at 13:34 and 9:10 in the second stanza, before claiming the lead at the 5:35 mark on an N’Garsanet lay in. Mizzou hit 12 free throws down the stretch – including eight from Bond — to take the victory.

KU freshman Sophronia Sallard and sophomore Jamie Boyd recorded their first starts of the season.

The Border Showdown series now stands at 8.5 to 7.0 in Kansas’ favor.

Kansas will return home for a rematch with the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Wednesday, Feb. 15. The game in Allen Fieldhouse will tip off at 7 p.m. and be aired by Sunflower Broadband Channel 6.

KU women fall to Colorado, 77-71

By J-W Staff Reports     Feb 1, 2006

Kansas University’s women’s basketball team dropped its sixth game in seven tries Wednesday night, falling to Colorado, 77-71, at Allen Fieldhouse.

The Jayhawks (13-6, 2-6 Big 12) came within three points of the Buffaloes (7-14, 2-7 Big 12) with under a minute to play but could not get any closer.

“I told the team in the locker room that until we develop a defensive pride, nothing is going to change,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

The Buffaloes shot a scoring 61.9-percent from the field and CU hit 6-of-8 three-pointers.

“Coming off the loss at Baylor and our previous loss against Colorado, we really needed to make a statement early, and we didn’t do that,” continued Henrickson, whose squad trailed 40-28 at halftime despite 11 points and four rebounds from Kemp. “I don’t understand our lack of defensive pride. It is incredibly disappointing to me.”

Senior guard Kaylee Brown finished with a game-high and new career-high 24 points, including 19 in the second half.

But it was KU’s lack of defense that made the Arcadia, Okla., native disgusted.

“We did not do well on the defensive end. We gave them a lot of uncontested three’s. We just didn’t defend,” said Brown, who also set new career highs in field goals (eight) and free throws (five). She played all 40 minutes and also finished with four rebounds and two assists.

Senior forward Crystal Kemp added 15 points and eight rebounds for KU while playing all 40 minutes. She continued her ascent up Kansas’ career lists, as her eight boards moved her into a tie for 10th place all-time in rebounds. She now has 733 rebounds in her four years with the Jayhawks.

Senior guard Erica Hallman also played the entire 40 minutes and chipped in 14 points, three assists and three rebounds. Sophomore forward Taylor McIntosh rounded out the double-figure scorers for the Jayhawks, finishing with 10 points. Freshman guard Ivana Catic added a game-high nine assists.

Five Buffaloes reached double figures led by Whitney Law’s 21 points.

“All the teams in the Big 12 are tough, especially on the road,” Law said. “We knew we could play with them. We knew that they were a good team, but we also knew that if we executed our stuff we should be able to walk away with a win.”

Kansas takes on Iowa State at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at Allen Fieldhouse.

KU women fall to Dartmouth

By J-W Staff Reports     Dec 30, 2003

? Dartmouth squandered a 13-point halftime lead, but hit 10 of 11 free throws in overtime to edge Kansas University, 86-78, in women’s college basketball Monday.

“It was a huge win for us to beat a Big 12 team on our home court,” Dartmouth coach Chris Wielgus said.

Angie Soriaga scored a career-high 24 points to lead the Big Green (4-4). Erica Hallman led KU with 20 points.

Dartmouth will face UNC-Wilmington in the championship game of the Blue Sky Restaurant Classic at 6 p.m. tonight. KU will face Fairfield in the consolation game at 4 p.m.

KU women fall to Ducks

By J-W Staff And Wire Reports     Nov 29, 2003

? Kansas University’s women’s basketball team rallied from an 11-point deficit and led late, but 24th-ranked Oregon escaped with a 54-51 victory over the Jayhawks Friday night in the Oregon Classic.

KU (0-2) rallied from a double-digit first-half deficit to tie it at 37. The Jayhawks led as late as 47-46, but the Ducks pulled away.

Crystal Kemp led KU with 11 points.

“I thought we played very well, actually,” said KU coach Marian Washington, who now has coached 900 college games.

The Jayhawks will face Sacramento State at 8 tonight in the Classic.

KU women fall to Iowa State, 69-44

By Liz Heuben     Mar 5, 2003

The Cyclones grabbed an early 16-7 lead after hitting their first four three-point attempts, and cruised to a 25-point victory in the final regular season Big 12 game for each team.

“We’re disappointed, to say the least,” KU coach Marian Washington said. “I thought Iowa State did a great job. They did everything they needed to do.”

Blair Waltz led Kansas (10-17 overall, 3-13 Big 12) with 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting. Crystal Kemp and Tamara Ransburg added eight points each, and Aquanita Burras grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.

Mary Cofield led Iowa State (12-15, 7-9) with 16 points, one of three Cyclones in double figures. Lindsey Wilson added 14 points, and Erica Junod scored 11.

Kansas shot 32.8 percent (20-of-61) from the field, 28.6 percent (4-of-14) from behind the three-point line and missed its only free throw attempt.

Iowa State hit 46.2 percent (24-of-52) of its field-goal attempts, 44 percent (11-of-25) from three-point range, and 76.9 percent (10-of-13) from the free-throw line.

The Cyclones outrebounded the Jayhawks, 38-35, and both teams turned the ball over 15 times.

Iowa State led 27-17 at halftime behind 6-of-13 shooting from three-point range. Neither team shot well in the first half, though, as Iowa State hit just 33 percent (4-of-12) of its two-point field goal attempts in the first half, and Kansas shot 29.6 percent (8-of-27) overall.

Along with poor shooting, the sloppy first half featured a combined 19 turnovers — 10 for Iowa State and nine for KU — and a five-minute stretch where neither team scored.

Kansas will face Iowa State at noon Tuesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament in Dallas.

KU women fall to Tigers, 73-52

By J-W Staff And Wire Reports     Mar 2, 2003

? Stretch James, Tracy Lozier and Kerensa Barr each scored 15 points and led Missouri to a 73-52 Big 12 Conference basketball victory Saturday over Kansas University.

Lozier made all four of her field goals from three-point range, James made six of eight shots, and Barr added six assists. MyEsha Perkins came off the bench and scored 13 points for Missouri.

Tamara Ransburg scored 17 points and had 13 rebounds for Kansas (10-16 overall, 3-12 Big 12) for her seventh double-double of the season. Aquanita Burras and Erica Hallman each added 11 points for the Jayhawks.

After leading by 15 at halftime, Missouri (14-12, 8-7) got two three-pointers from Barr in the first five minutes of the second half to go up 45-23. The Tigers, who shot 54.2 percent and made 13 of 16 free throws, led by as many as 26.

Missouri scored the first 10 points and kept Kansas scoreless until Ransburg banked in a shot with 15:28 left in the first half. The Tigers built an 18-4 lead while making 70 percent of their shots before Kansas slowed them down and came back, coming within seven at 26-19 with 3:13 left in the half.

Lozier hit two straight three-pointers to give Missouri more breathing room, and the Tigers ended the half leading 34-19. Missouri shot 48 percent in the first half, while Kansas shot 30 percent. The Jayhawks also had 14 turnovers in the half and 25 in the game.

? Amanda Levens had 18 of her 28 points off three-pointers to lead Arizona State to a 73-52 women’s college basketball victory over Kansas on Wednesday night.

The Sun Devils (7-2) slowly pulled away from the Jayhawks (3-5) in the second half, to 57-42 with 11:23 to go, ending their run with a layup and two free throws by Jen Albert. Albert had a career-high 10 points off the bench for Arizona State.

“I don’t think they are a 20-point better ballclub,” KU coach Marian Washington said. “So many things broke down.”

Kansas battled back to trail by 10 points, 59-49, with 8:43 to go after a pair of free throws by Selena Scott. Scott paced Kansas with 14 points.

Arizona State went on a 14-3 run to end the game by the final victory margin.

Kansas shot 7-of-22 from the free throw line and 39.3 percent from the field. Arizona State outrebounded the Jayhawks 42-31.

“hen you are 7-22 at line … we work on them,” Washington said. “It’s a matter of everybody taking their time and knocking those down.”

Carrie Buckner finished with a career-high 10 points for Arizona State, while Blair Waltz had 13 points and KC Hilgenkamp finished with 12 for Kansas.

Kansas was ahead for most of the first half until Arizona State took a two-point lead into halftime, 35-33, when Buckner hit a last-second baseline jumper.

“We played a fine ballclub slated to win the Pac-10,” Washington said. “I was proud of our performance the first half. We didn’t bring it to the second half.”

KU women fall to NU in tennis

By Kelly Rathbun     Apr 18, 2001

Playing on its home courts for the first time this season, Kansas University’s women’s tennis team lost a close one to Nebraska, 4-3, on Tuesday.

The match was the first on the Jayhawks’ refurbished Robinson courts.

“It was so nice to be playing on our own court,” KU coach Kilmeny Waterman said. “The girls were a little nervous, too. Alvamar is home, but this is a different situation here with people walking around. In the fall we practiced here, but we weren’t use to the commotion. We did kind of focus a little on who was walking around instead of on the court.”

Lisa Mallaiah said she didn’t have problems focusing on her matches with the nearby traffic and people milling about.

“When you’re in a match, you’re focused on what’s going on there on your court,” she said.

Mallaiah lost her doubles match with Christi Wagenaar early in the afternoon, but rebounded to claim a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory over Elissa Kinard at No. 4 singles.

“I started off really well,” Mallaiah said. “But then she started coming back. But I was able to come back, too. I was really happy with that.”

Mallaiah thought the team played well throughout the meet.

“I think we all came out pretty confident today,” she said. “We knew we had no other choice but to fight.”

Emily Haylock and Monica Sekulov claimed KU’s only doubles victory, a 9-7 decision over Ndali Ijomah and Rose Ketmayura.

“If we would’ve won that doubles point, it would have given us momentum going into singles, and it would’ve been a different story,” Waterman said. “We really got tight in doubles. Number 2 doubles played a good match. We have two pretty good teams right now, but we need to get three. We’re switching No. 3 around.”

KU women fall to Buffs in tennis, 4-3

By J-W Staff Reports     Apr 2, 2001

Kansas won the doubles point, but Colorado rebounded to win four of six singles matches to win the team match, 4-3, over the Jayhawks on Sunday at Alvamar.

CU swept the top three singles matches in upending the 45th-ranked Jayhawks.

“Colorado is a good team, but we have come through to win matches against good teams like this before,” KU coach Kilmeny Waterman said. “Losing at the top three singles positions is very unusual for us, and that obviously hurt.

“Hopefully this loss will serve as a positive wake-up call for this team and magnify some of the things that we need to work on.”

KU will play host to Kansas State on Sunday.

KU women fall short against Colorado, 72-63

By J-W Staff Reports     Jan 21, 2001

The Jayhawks, whose poor performance at the free throw line doomed them to five losses in their first six road games, hit a season-high 78.6 percent of their free throws in a 72-63 loss to Colorado on Saturday at the Coors Events Center.

“I felt like we played a pretty good game,” KU coach Marian Washington said, “but you’ve got to have points in order to win, and we just didn’t get enough scoring.”

The outcome snapped the Jayhawks’ three-game winning streak over Colorado (13-3 overall, 4-1 Big 12) and sent Kansas (7-9, 1-4) to its second straight loss and its sixth loss in seven games.

Kansas senior Jaclyn Johnson, who was questionable until just before game time with a sprained left ankle, did not start, but she scored a game-high 16 points with nine rebounds in 27 minutes.

Jennifer Jackson added 15 points, and Colorado native Brooke Reves chipped in 14 points for the Jayhawks.
