Soccer Upset By Texas

The 19th ranked KU soccer team suffered its 3rd consecutive Big 12 defeat, this one coming at the hands of the Texas Longhorns. The loss drops Kansas to 8-4-1 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play. Kansas took a 1-0 lead in the second half, but a Becca Rivera goal and a Kylie Doniak penalty in the 78th minute gave the Longhorns an advantage they would not relinquish.

Catlin Noble got the lone goal for the Hawks, which was her 2nd of the weekend.

Kansas next plays host to Texas Tech on Friday and Colorado on Sunday.

Morningstar Suspended For First Semester

Junior guard Brady Morningstar has been suspended for the first semester following an arrest for DWI. He was released on $250 bond. Bill Self said he was disappointed in Morningstar, who broke new, more stringent rules that were imposed after the fights between the football and basketball teams.

Last year Morningstar averaged 6.5 points, 3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while shooting 42% from three and often guarding the opposing team's best perimeter player.

Police To Look Into Brawl

According to a report on ESPN, University of Kansas police will look into the altercations which took place last week between members of the school's football and basketball teams.

Major Chris Keary said there is enough information to file an incident report. After investigating, it will be up to local prosecutors to determine whether or not charges will be filed. Sophomore Tyshawn Taylor injured his hand throwing a punch. AD Lew Perkins said that after the incident he was as mad as he had been in  a long time.

Because we all need some good news: BC's Mark Herzlich says he is 99% cancer free. Congrats, Mark. Go Eagles

And Go Jayhawks.

Reesing Named Semifinalist For Campbell Trophy

Senior quarterback Todd Reesing has been named a semifinalist for the 20th William V. Campbell Trophy. The trophy goes to a Senior who has at least a 3.2 GPA, excels at football, and shows strong character and leadership. Reesing, who is a double major (finance, econ) is 9th nationally in completions and 11th in total offense.

If the awards committee has a hard on for Tim Tebow like every other person in America, then the Florida QB will probably take home the award. But if performance in school really matters, Reesing is the only choice here.
