Kansas University women’s soccer players Caroline Smith and Holly Gault have been invited to training camp with the Under-21 United States women’s soccer national team.
“This is a great honor for both Caroline and Holly,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “It is a great reflection of our program that our players are beginning to receive national attention. I’m very proud for both of them, and I know that they will represent the University of Kansas very well.”
Gault, a sophomore from Spring Hill, anchored a young Jayhawk defense, which surrendered only 13 goals and finished ninth in the country with a team goals-against average of 0.55. She was selected first-team All-America by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Smith, a junior from Edina, Minn., earned All-America honors for the second consecutive season. She led KU in scoring for the third consecutive season, topping the Jayhawks in goals (11), assists (10) and points (32).
Benton Harbor, Mich. ? Kansas University golfer Kevin Ward and former Jayhawk Tyler Hall have advanced to the Sweet 16 at the prestigious Western Amateur Golf Tournament at Point O’Woods Golf Club.
Hall, a recent KU grad from Wayne, N.J., shot a 272, good for a tie for second in four rounds of stroke play. Aron Price was the medalist at 265.
Ward, a KU senior from Leawood, shot 280 to earn a share of 12th.
KU senior Andrew Price tied for 16th after rounds of 69-71-70-69, but lost in a playoff and did not advance to match play.
“They are playing great,” KU coach Ross Randall said of the Jayhawks. “Kevin has been on fire for several weeks now. I am really thrilled they made the Sweet 16 of the second-most prestigious amateur event in the country.”
Hall and KU’s Tyler Docking have qualified for the most prestigious amateur event — the U.S. Amateur.
