LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas Soccer will play at Rock Chalk Park for the first time in 18 days on Thursday, Oct. 13, when it plays Oklahoma at 7 p.m. CT. Thursday night is Domestic Violence Awareness Night, with the intention to provide information about resources in the community, share about the impact of domestic violence and remember those who are no longer with us.
Kansas (7-7-1, 0-4-1 Big 12) is looking to earn its first conference win of the season. The Jayhawks have won their last three games against Oklahoma in Lawrence. KU is 5-1-1 against the Sooners since 2015.
Junior forward Shira Elinav has led the Jayhawks with seven goals this season, which is tied for third-most in the conference. Her 17 points are third-most in the Big 12. Elinav was recently awarded Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 4.
Another key member of this year’s team has been super-senior midfielder Rylan Childers. Childers has recorded a point in seven of the last 10 games. She has 14 points this season, which is sixth-most in the league.
Oklahoma (7-3-3, 2-1-1 Big 12) currently sits in fifth place in the Big 12 standings. The Sooners are coming off a 1-1 draw against Oklahoma State last Thursday. This season, Oklahoma is led by Emma Hawkins and Bri Amos, who have combined for nine goals this season.
