While the football team has more than a week left in preparation for their first game, KU Soccer has finished a week of successful competition. The Jayhawks opened the season with two road matches over the weekend. They traveled to Madison to face Wisconsin on Thursday, and then to Chicago for a match with Layola-Chcago on Sunday.
In the season opener on Thursday, super-senior goalkeeper Melania Pasar logged a career-high nine saves, including stopping a penalty kick in the first half. The Badgers had the shooting advantage for the match taking 23 shots to KU’s 7. Despite the difference in shots taken the Jayhawks played Wisconsin to a 0-0 draw.
