Both Kansas and Indiana made successful post deadline roster request appeals for the 2018 Croquet Network States Shield over the past week. Kansas added Carl Archiniaco after losing two-time starter Darin Watson near the orginal roster deadline. Archiniaco is based in Oklahomo City, Oklahoma, and was an alternate on the Oklahoma team who is now looking forward to getting some shield experience with the Kansas team. The Central Quad Qualifier will be held this Saturday and Sunday in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
