LAWRENCE, Kan. – After another undefeated weekend, the University of Kansas women’s soccer team continued its climb in the NCAA top-25 rankings, released by the United Soccer Coaches Tuesday, checking in at No. 11. The ranking marked the highest for the Jayhawks in the coaches’ poll since 2014.

Kansas, which is 4-0-0 after the opening two weekends of the regular season, is the highest-ranked team in the Big 12. Behind the Jayhawks are No. 22 West Virginia and No. 24 TCU. Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas are also receiving votes in the poll. KU began the season unranked, before checking at No. 18 last week and jumping seven spots to 11^th this week.

The Jayhawks have netted 13 goals in their first four outings, a figure with ranks 10^th in the NCAA. The KU defense has also conceded just one goal. The Jayhawks’ 0.25 goals-against average is the 11^th-lowest in the nation.

The Jayhawks will look to continue their hot start to the season when they journey to West Lafayette, Indiana for the Boilermaker Challenge Cup. KU will open the weekend with a match against the DePaul Blue Demons on Friday at 3 p.m. (CT) and will close the trip on Sundaywith a 1 p.m. (CT) contest against the host Purdue, which is also receiving votes in this week’s top-25.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — The Kansas Jayhawks are set to host the second game of the 2019 season on Saturday, as they host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas. The game will kick off at 6 p.m. and will air on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ with Mark Neely (play-by-play) and Mike Golic Jr., (analyst) on the call.

The game comes after the Jayhawks kicked off the season on August 31, with a 24-17 win over Indiana State, the first victory under head Coach Les Miles. Kansas was led by 121 yards receiving from Andrew Parchment in his first-career game as a Jayhawk, while the defense forced two takeaways, including a 57-yard interception return from Hasan Defense.

Saturday’s matchup marks the first ever between the Jayhawks and the Chanticleers, after Coastal Carolina dropped their season-opener to Eastern Michigan, 30-23, on Aug. 31.

Prior to Saturday’s contest, head coach Les Miles met with the media to preview the Jayhawks’ meeting with the Chanticleers.

Wednesday Morning Sports with KWBW’s Rob Dreher.

IRVING, Texas (AP) – A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dallas Cowboys have reached agreement on a $90 million, six-year contract extension that will make Ezekiel Elliott the highest-paid running back in the NFL and end a holdout that lasted the entire preseason.

The breakthrough was finalized Wednesday, the day of the team’s first full workout for the opener at home against the New York Giants. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been announced. Elliott, who has two years remaining on his current deal, will get $50 million guaranteed.

The standoff between Dallas and the two-time NFL rushing champion came with the Cowboys holding high expectations coming off their first playoff win with Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott. They’ve won two NFC East titles in three seasons together.Although Prescott and receiver Amari Cooper are seeking long-term contracts in the final year of their rookie deals, getting an agreement with Elliott settles the most important issue as the Cowboys try to get past the divisional round for the first time since winning the last of the franchise’s five Super Bowls during the 1995 season.

IRVING, Texas – Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts was honored as the Maxwell Award Player of the Week due to his outstanding performance against Houston in Week 1.

The Maxwell Award Player of the Week honor recognizes overall performance on offense, defense or special teams.

Making his Oklahoma debut, Hurts accounted for 508 yards of offense to Houston’s 408 in a 49-31 home win over the Cougars on Sunday. Hurts was 20 for 23 through the air for 332 yards and three touchdowns while running 16 times for a career-high 176 yards (11.0 average) and three more scores.

Hurts was recognized as the Big 12’s Offensive Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jorge Soler broke the Kansas City home run record with his 39th homer of the season and Ryan O’Hearn hit a game-ending home run as the Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 6-5.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jack Flaherty pitched one-hit ball over eight innings, Marcell Ozuna homered and the St. Louis Cardinals _ with a fluky foul ball-turned-base hit _ beat the San Francisco Giants 1-0. Flaherty carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and dominated with eight strikeouts and a walk. The 23-year-old right-hander threw a career-high 113 pitches, 84 for strikes, and lowered his ERA to 0.90 over his past 11 starts dating to July 7.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — There was a time when fast-paced, air-it-out spread offenses were a novel concept in college football. Kansas State remains decidedly old school. Their ground-based system under new coach Chris Klieman bludgeoned Nicholls State in the opener last weekend. Kansas State hosts Bowling Green on Saturday.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas linebacker Thomas Patrick Barrett has been arrested at a student bar on suspicion of contributing to a child’s misconduct and displaying or possessing a fictitious or fraudulent ID card. The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the 20-year-old from Cleveland posted $1,500 bond and was released from jail a couple of hours after his early Sunday arrest at the Jayhawk Cafe, which is commonly known as The Hawk.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Most of Oklahoma’s great running quarterbacks never put up numbers like Jalen Hurts did in the season opener. Hurts ran for 176 yards and three touchdowns to help No. 4 Oklahoma defeat Houston 49-31. Only Thomas Lott ever ran for more yards in a game from the quarterback position at Oklahoma. It was the first game for Hurts with his new team after transferring from Alabama. Oklahoma hosts South Dakota on Saturday.

National Headlines

UNDATED (AP) — The AP Top 25 went 23-0 against unranked teams to open the season, leaving the rankings mostly unchanged with No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Alabama at the top. The Tigers received 54 first-place votes out of 62 in the medial poll, up two from the preseason. The only Top 25 team to lose was Oregon, which slipped to 16 after dropping a thriller to Auburn. The Tigers moved up to 10th.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Ed Orgeron says projected starting left tackle Saahdiq Charles and pass-rushing linebacker Michael Divinity Jr. will play Saturday when the sixth-ranked Tigers visit No. 9 Texas. Charles and Divinity both were present for warmups before LSU’s season-opening victory over Georgia Southern but did not play. Orgeron has declined to specify why the players were held out. Charles started all 10 games he played last season. Divinity’s five sacks in 2018 tied for the team lead.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Kurt Suzuki capped the largest ninth-inning comeback in Nationals history with a game-ending, three-run homer, helping Washington score seven runs in its final at-bat to beat the New York Mets 11-10. Mets relievers Paul Sewald, Luis Avilan and Edwin Díaz pitched through the meltdown, retiring just one Nationals batter while Washington rallied for its 20th win in 26 games. New York led 10-4 after scoring five runs in the top of the ninth.

NEW YORK (AP) — James Paxton pitched one-hit ball for seven shutout innings, striking out 12 and winning his seventh straight start as the New York Yankees bounced back in a big way, routing the Texas Rangers 10-1. Gary Sánchez hit two home runs, Edwin Encarnación added a two-run drive in his return from the injured list, and Didi Gregorius and Brett Gardner also connected. The five homers came a day after Mike Minor and the Texas bullpen ended New York’s streak of 220 games without being shut out.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bryce Harper drove in his 100th run with a single, J.T. Realmuto had a pair of hits and a sacrifice fly, and the Philadelphia Phillies won their third in a row, 6-2 over the Cincinnati Reds. The Phillies began the day 2½ games behind the Cubs for the final NL wild card.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Austin Meadows homered, seven Tampa Bay relievers combined on a five-hitter and the playoff-contending Rays blanked the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 to split a doubleheader. The Rays, who began the day with a slight lead atop the AL wild-card race, had their five-game winning streak stopped with a 4-2 loss in the opener. The first game of the twinbill was originally scheduled for Wednesday night, but was moved up in advance as a precaution for Hurricane Dorian.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Serena Williams was not troubled one bit by the right ankle she rolled in her previous match. She didn’t get much resistance from her opponent, either. Looking as dominant as can be, Williams moved just fine and powered her way into the U.S. Open semifinals by overwhelming 18th-seeded Wang Qiang of China 6-1, 6-0 in a mere 44 minutes to move closer to a 24th Grand Slam singles trophy.
