Kansas City Kansas Community College’s young women’s soccer team stamped its first trip to the Region V playoffs with authority Sunday afternoon.

Scoring three goals in the first nine minutes, the Lady Blue Devils’ 6-1 win over Coffeyville not only wrapped up a first time playoff berth but it will be a played at home – this coming Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. against Barton County (8-7), the defending Region VI champion.

And it could get even better. If third place Butler County should win at league-leading Cowley County in a makeup game Tuesday night, the Blue Devils will finish in a tie for the Jayhawk Conference championship – a program-changing accomplishment considering no Blue Devil women’s team has ever had a winning record let alone sniff a playoff berth in its first seven years.

“We’ve lost a lot of games so this is special, very special,” said fourth year KCKCC coach Shawn Uhlenhake, whose No, 1 goal when he took the coaching reins was to earn a playoff berth. “That’s the goal every year. Getting a big lead today really helped take the pressure off. This team has really stayed disciplined and focused and just got better and better.”

Uhlenhake was particularly pleased with a near shutout of Coffeyville, a team that had defeated the Blue Devils 5-3 earlier. The Red Ravens did not score until the final 1:43. Finishing 12-3 overall and 9-3 in the Jayhawk, the win over Coffeyville enabled KCKCC to avenge each of its three losses. .

The Blue Devils got a record-setting performance by freshman forward Melissa Siegel, who had assists on all six KCKCC records.

“Has to be a record,” Uhlenhake said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Sophomore Kayla Deaver and freshman Maddy Broeker each had a pair of goals; freshmen Corrine Hughes and Jaidyn Yingling one apiece.

Hughes started with a breakaway goal just three minutes into the game and Broeker made it 3-0, scoring twice on crossing patterns in a span of less than two minutes. The second came just eight minutes and 50 seconds into the game.

Deaver’s first goal came at the 26:00 mark, a breakaway blast that left Coffeyville goalkeeper Taylor Lamp grasping for nothing but air. Yingling made it 5-0 at the half. Beating Lamp with goal from outside the box with 6:02 remaining and Deaver got her second goal at 30:17 of the second half, a shot just inside the right goal post.

KCKCC got a standout defensive effort from freshman goalkeeper Jaidyn Takaishi, who had a season high 12 saves as the Red Ravens launched 19 shots. Meanwhile, KCKCC’s six goals came on 15 shots against two goalkeepers.

The big lead enabled Uhlenhake to go to his bench early. For eight sophomores, it was their final regular season game at home – Sydney Guerra, Alex Schemmel, Karleigh Enyart, Kayla Deaver, Tina Alvarez, Arlene Ruiz, Ruth Nunez and Jasmine Diaz. However, with a home playoff Sunday, it was not their last.

The sausage patties are sold at Walmart.

The ready-to-eat pork and turkey sausage patty items were produced on April 19, 2019, April 27, 2019, May 7, 2019 and May 9, 2019. The following products are subject to recall:

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. M2206T or P-2260T” printed on the package. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that the firm’s third-party cold storage facility had inadvertently shipped the ready-to-eat products to commerce, according to a statement.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a health care provider.

The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated product. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers or both. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Computer programmer pleads guilty in cyberattack threat case

A Wichita computer programmer pleaded guilty today to threatening cyberattacks against two web sites that posted criticism of Wichita lawyer Brad Pistotnik, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.

David Dorsett, 37, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to two counts of making extortionate threats via the internet. In his plea, Dorsett admitted he contacted Pistotnik in September 2014 offering reputation management services.

Pistotnik met with Dorsett and showed him postings on the internet that Pistotnik wanted removed, including a Kansas Supreme Court disciplinary opinion for Pistotnik and a negative consumer review.

Email communications between Dorsett and Pistotnik showed Pistotnik saying, “Any luck removing that bad website I showed you?” and “tell me how we get rid of it.”

Dorsett sent a barrage of emails to two web sites, leagle.com and RipoffReport.com demanding they remove information critical of Pistotnik.

The emails read in part, “If you don’t remove it we will begin targeting your advertisers and explain that this will stop happening to them once they pull their ads…” Dorsett billed Pistotnik for sending the threats and Pistotnik paid him by check the same day.

Co-defendant Pistotnik was sentenced last week to pay a $375,000 fine and $55,200 in restitution.

Dorsett’s sentencing is set for Jan. 6. He faces a penalty of up to two years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on each count.

McAllister commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart for their work on the case.
