#15 KAnsAs sTATe 24 - #6 OKLAhOmA 19
KSU: (4-0 , 1-0) OU: (2-1 , 0-1)
Oklahoma committed three turnovers in their loss to Kansas State on
Saturday. Kansas State Senior quarterback Collin Klein completed only 13
passes for 149 yards. But it was the rushing game that fueled the Wildcats
offense. Junior running back John Hubert had a season high of 24 carries
for 135 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Kansas State coach Bill
Snyder has coached his team well and the Wildcats are poised for suc-
cess this year in conference play. As for the Sooners, senior quarterback
Landry Jones took a step back. The good news is Jones and his offense
have a bye week coming up and can rebuild before visiting Texas Tech.
#8 WesT VirginiA 31 - mAryLAnd 21
WVU: (3-0 , 0-0) MD (2-2 , 0-0)
Senior quarterback Geno Smith continued his dominance in helping
West Virginia get off to a 3-0 start. He threw 338 yards and connected
with senior wide receiver Tavon Austin three times in the end zone. West
Virginias defense forced three turnovers as junior linebacker Doug Rigg
helped the Mountaineers get going with the first touchdown of the game.
He picked up a fumble and ran 51 yards to the end zone.
#17 TexAs chrisTiAn 27 - VirginiA 7
Junior quarterback Casey Pachall is the only player in the nation with
a quarterback rating of over 200 and he showed why against Virginia this
weekend. Pachall had a better game this week when he threw 305 yards
and found three different receivers for a touchdown.
BAyLOr 47 - LOuisiAnA-mOnrOe 42
Baylor got off to a rocky start in the first quarter when senior quarter-
back Nick Florence threw a pair of interceptions. Louisiana-Monroe took
advantage and scored two touchdowns to take an early lead. But Florence
and the Bears never turned the ball over again. In a shootout against the
Warhawks, Baylor scored 24 points in the second quarter and Florence
passed for four touchdowns to remain undefeated on the year.

Senior Sarah Robbins had one
of the best games of her Jayhawk
career in a 2-1 upset win over
seventh ranked Oklahoma State
on Friday. After getting the ball
on the edge of the box, she made a
move to get past the OSU defense
before being fouled in the box for a
penalty. Senior midfielder/forward
Whitney Berry converted and the
Jayhawks regained the lead just
minutes after Oklahoma
State equalized.
A strong wind and the
Oklahoma State defense
made it difficult for
Kansas to keep posses-
sion of the ball. Despite
being outplayed for
most of the first half, the
Jayhawks took the lead just three
minutes into the game. Freshman
forward Courtney Dickerson was
able to get to sophomore forward
Haley Yearouts through ball before
shooting past the oncoming goalie
for a 1-0 Kansas lead.
Oklahoma State, the reigning
league champions and preseason
favorites, controlled the first
half despite falling behind. The
Cowgirls had eight shots in the
first half forcing Kansas sopho-
more goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
into action three times. Oklahoma
State also had two shots hit the post
as Kansas held on for a halftime
lead.
Oklahoma State is obviously
a very good team, coach Mark
Francis said. I didnt think we
played particularly great soccer
today compared to what we are
capable of, but I think a lot of that
was down to them.
Robbins, who came on as a first
half substitute, controlled the game
in midfield and helped Kansas gain
the edge in the second half. The
Jayhawks outshot the Cowgirls by
five in the second half
and ended the match
with 18 shots.
In the 69th minute
the Cowgirls found the
back of the net in simi-
lar fashion to Kansas
first half goal. Oklahoma
States leading goal scor-
er Megan Marchesano got onto a
through ball and fired into the top
of the goal.
The Jayhawks answered just
thirty seconds later when Robbins
was fouled in the box and Berry
scored the penalty kick. Kansas
withstood a barrage of Oklahoma
State corners in the final minutes
to earn their first win over the
Cowgirls since 2005.
I saw that space so figured just
take it, Robbins said on drawing
her penalty to give Kansas a chance
to take the lead. That last player,
I thought I was about to lose it.
I took one little touch and she
clipped me.
Stroud had an impressive game
making five saves and controlling
the box on set pieces. The defense
continued its solid play against an
Oklahoma State team averaging 2.5
goals per game. This season, the
Jayhawks defense is allowing just a
single goal per game.
Our defense was solid, Stroud
said. That is probably the big-
gest improvement weve made this
season.
Next weekend the Jayhawks,
with a record of 7-2-1, will travel to
Texas for conference games against
Baylor and TCU. Kansas is excited
about the possibilities of this team
and are focused on making a run
for the programs first Big 12 league
title since 2004.
