Kansas women eager to smell hot dogs exhibition opener
Kansas women open the 2011-12 season with an exhibition against Emporia State at Allen Fieldhouse. KU coach Bonnie Henrickson says the game is a barometer and a chance to gauge team speed, defense, and execution before a live crowd, as ESU aims to prove itself against a top Division II program. The Jayhawks, led by guard Angel Goodrich and forward Carolyn Davis, seek to translate practice into discipline and pressure, while ESU returns four starters and 70 percent of its scoring.
