Kansas heads west to open Big 12 conference play with the in-state rival K-State Wildcats.

Kansas is coming off a 3-1 win over Idaho to wrap up the Santa Clara Invitational.

Dating back to last year, the Jayhawks have won 14-straight Big 12 matches.

K-State leads the all-time matchup 61-44, but KU has won 9 of the last 10 and five-straight in Manhattan.
