Kansas State lost to Cincinnati 31-26 in football, fell 2-0 to Arizona State in soccer and saw its nine-match volleyball winning streak end with a 3-1 loss to Houston. The soccer team is 0-2 in Big 12 play; volleyball is 1-1.
Head coach Collin Klein said Kansas State “didn't play well enough” and that there were “no excuses.” Jon Morse's recap attributed much of the football loss to a disastrous third quarter. Klein is in his first season as head coach; the team is breaking in a mostly new offensive line and has limited quarterback depth. A bye week follows.
In soccer, Arizona State scored in the ninth and 23rd minutes, while Kansas State managed only four shots on goal; goalkeeper Maddie Sibbing saved a penalty kick. The Wildcats visit BYU Friday for an 8 p.m. CT Big 12 match, streamed on ESPN+. In volleyball, Addison Massie had 18 kills, her sixth straight match with at least 10, and Fuka Sekita recorded the 500th dig of her college career. Kansas State hosts BYU Thursday and Utah Saturday.
