Kansas Completes Late Comeback to Defeat Tulsa 2-1

A penalty save and a swift assist spark a program‑record shooting display

A group of soccer players in red jerseys celebrate together on a grassy field, while opponents in white jerseys walk away.

Kansas University fell behind early when Tulsa struck for a 1‑0 lead in the 33rd minute, but the Jayhawks controlled possession for much of the first half without finding a breakthrough.

A Late Surge

The second half saw Kansas shift momentum, with Marit McLaughlin striking to level the score in the 67th minute before Norah Jacomen added her first goal as a Jayhawk just 66 seconds after a converted penalty.

Record‑Breaking Shot Count

Kansas outshot Tulsa 36‑??, tying a program record set against Michigan in 2005 and underscoring the team’s relentless attacking intent.

Key Performances

Sophie Dawe made four saves, including a pivotal penalty‑kick stop that set up the comeback, while Livvy Moore recorded her fifth assist of the season on Jacomen’s winner.

The victory lifted Kansas to 4‑2‑0 on the season and snapped a five‑game winless stretch, moving the club to 13‑3‑5 in non‑conference play under head coach Nate Lie.

With 15 assists on 15 goals this year, the Jayhawks demonstrated balanced scoring and playmaking, a trend that bodes well for the remainder of the campaign.
