A former Kansas University softball player has voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit against the school.
In a motion filed last week, former outfielder Jackie Vasquez asked a judge to dismiss the case, citing a “family decision” and concerns for her well-being. Vasquez had filed two police reports in the weeks after filing the suit, claiming someone had keyed her car and sent her a threatening letter.
Vasquez filed suit in September after being kicked off the team. KU officials said she was kicked off for violating computer rules by reading an assistant coach’s e-mail, but Vasquez claimed it was in retaliation for her complaints about coach Tracy Bunge’s locker-room conduct.
Vasquez and other players had gone to athletic director Lew Perkins in the spring to complain about an incident after a loss in which Bunge ordered players to shower in their uniforms to “wash away the bad play.”
