Glass not bothered by Knight’s absence from induction ceremony
(11/09/09 4:56am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Together, two former coaches and five former athletes have won 31 Big Ten championships and nine national championships. Individually, they have been known as one of, if not the best, in their respective sports.The 2009 class members of the IU Hall of Fame were rewarded Friday for their achievements during their time at IU. The class included former men’s basketball player Steve Downing, former IU coach Bob Knight, track and field performer Katrin Koch, football players Joe Norman and the late Mike Rabold, along with swimmer Alan Somers and former coach men’s coach Jerry Yeagley.“I’m excited about the class and feel some ownership of that because it’s the first class which I’ve been involved,” IU Athletics Director Fred Glass said.Almost 800 people showed up to the largest induction ceremony IU has ever had. However, the man who contributed the most wins to IU men’s basketball was a no-show.“I’m here tonight for the same essential reason that Bob isn’t – to make sure the spotlight shines on these six,” said Bob Hammel, 2008 Hall of Fame inductee and former Herald-Times sportswriter. Knight’s absence, which was described as his attempt to avoid a media circus, did not bother Glass.“Coach Knight is not being inducted to start a thaw or ... for the purpose of bringing the family back together again,” Glass said. “He was inducted because it was the right thing to do – period. Frankly, I didn’t want to be involved in an induction process if it didn’t include Coach Knight because I thought he belonged in the Hall of Fame.”Although Knight and Glass have never spoken, they have corresponded through letters in which Knight’s latest response further discussed his reasoning for not accepting his induction in person.“I have now and always will have a tremendous appreciation for the support ... from the student body and the fans all over the state of Indiana,” Knight said in the letter read by Hammel.
IU inducts 2 coaches, 5 athletes to Hall of Fame
(11/09/09 4:54am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>What makes IU men’s soccer different from other programs is not just the pride in the jersey or the foundation of excellence established in the days when the team was just a club.What makes IU soccer different is one man, Jerry Yeagley, and his legacy.Yeagley was inducted into the IU Hall of Fame along with former IU coach Bob Knight and five former athletes.The former coach sat in the press box peering down on a struggling team for nearly every home game this season. He used to coach that team with one word: domination.“The next member of this class is not a building block at all ... he’s the building,” former Herald-Times sportswriter and 2008 Hall of Fame inductee Bob Hammel said about Yeagley.Under Yeagley, IU men’s soccer has 27 NCAA tournament berths, six NCAA titles, 16 trips to the College Cup, 12 appearances in the championship game and one of the best soccer programs in the nation since 1973.The Hoosiers lost four of eight homes games this season but finished the regular season the only way Yeagley seems to know how to end a soccer game – with a win.Yeagley, the all-time winningest Division I men’s soccer coach, compiled a 544-101-45 record at IU.“I worked at one place for 41 years and, you know, there was never a day that I regretted my decision to stay at Indiana University,” Yeagley said during his induction speech. “It was a labor of love for me. Not every day was as good as the others, but then there was no place I would have rather been during those 41 years.”This induction class was special because the winningest coach in soccer was honored by the IU Hall of Fame along with Bob Knight, the winningest coach in men’s basketball.“Indiana University has an awful lot to be proud of,” Hammel said.Yeagley remembers the time when there was no acclaim for men’s soccer and when it was not a varsity sport at IU. When the team was still a club, then-athletic director Bill Orwig and Dean of Students Tom Schreck talked with Yeagley about his role with men’s soccer.“They cornered me in a room and said, ‘You know you’re putting a little too much emphasis in this soccer club,’” Yeagley said. “‘You might want to back off and be a little more recreational with it.’ Bill Orwig didn’t know I was a full-time faculty member, and he said, ‘When you finish your studies here, it’s probably better that you move on.’”Yeagley spent 10 years coaching the club soccer team before his work ultimately paid off. From there, the history of Yeagley’s coaching includes numbers unmatched by any soccer coach in America.IU soccer can be defined as a long list of successes, but the true answer lies within each player, Yeagley said. “One of the keys to our success with the IU soccer program is that we established great pride in the uniform,” he said. “Every player takes tremendous pride in the history and tradition of this program and respects the tradition and those that have worn the uniform in the past.”But pride doesn’t stop there.“Every player feels it’s a privilege and an honor to wear the uniform and also understands that a responsibility goes with wearing that uniform,” Yeagley said. “Not only your best performance, but your highest standard is acceptable. When you take the field wearing that IU soccer uniform, you hold your head high and your chest out.“You don’t hope to win, you expect to win because, after all, you are Indiana.”

Indiana vs. Penn State
Former IU defender Nick Garcia tried to energize IU in practice
(11/06/09 5:06am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Nick Garcia has raised two national trophies above his head during his time as an IU player.But he spent time on the pitch Wednesday and Thursday with a team that is struggling to grasp a berth to the NCAA tournament.“Soccer isn’t always a pretty game,” Garcia said. “I know. I’ve been a part of many not-so-pretty games, but we’ve gotten wins. You’ve got to find a way to win.”IU, which is 8-8-1 and sits at 2-3 in the Big Ten, is practicing this week to take on No. 25 Penn State, who is currently slotted No. 1 in the Big Ten.“I just wished them all the best of luck in getting it,” Garcia said. “Obviously, I can’t play, but hopefully my presence and some of my professionalism can help them.”The Toronto FC back and IU alum practiced with the men’s soccer team in hopes of lifting the .500 team’s spirit. “The last time I actually trained here at IU, I guess it was probably back in ’99 before we had gone off to the Final Four,” Garcia said. “It brought back some great memories, and I hope my presence kind of rubs off on the guys.”Defending for 90 minutes, the Hoosiers’ last game ended just three minutes into overtime when a toe-poke shot from Ohio State gave the Buckeyes the win. However, Garcia ran into luck that he thinks could help the team.“At my hotel, I’m in room 333, and I got in here at 3:33 this afternoon, and my jersey at IU was No. 3 so – good luck,” he said.Garcia said he also knows past players, like him, who have followed the team and expect good things from the guys.“We’re rooting them on and wish them the best of luck on the home stretch,” Garcia said.Garcia was a three-time All-American and teammate of current assistant coach Aleksey Korol. In his junior season at IU, the defender finished second in votes for the Hermann Trophy, which is awarded to the top player in college soccer.“I haven’t been back for about 10 years and a lot has changed – new buildings and new restaurants,” Garcia said. “But good old IU is IU. I love it. I miss it, and I wouldn’t trade my college experience for anything in the world.”

Ofori Sarkodie earns 2nd academic honor
(11/03/09 2:59am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Ofori Sarkodie has been named to the Academic All-Big Ten team. He was a preseason second-team All-American. And now he has one more accolade to beside his name.The senior back is one of 11 players to be named to ESPN the Magazine’s All-Academic District 5 team.Sarkodie has started every game since his sophomore year and has seen the field plenty during his time as a Hoosier, but Sarkodie also works hard off the field.“I really just take a lot of time for my studies and take a lot of pride in it,” Sarkodie said. “It feels good to know that I’m being appreciated for working hard.”Off the pitch, the exercise science major has a GPA of more than 3.5. On the field, Sarkodie has led his defense to six shutouts. Sarkodie said he tries to show his teammates the importance of their studies.“You can be just as famous in your education as you are as a soccer player,” Sarkodie said. “A lot of these guys are well-known around campus, but being known for your academics is just as important.”His efforts have not gone unnoticed in the locker room.“Ofori is a hard worker,” sophomore midfielder Tyler McCarroll said. “He’s taking care of business on and off the field. That’s something I’ve always admired about him that he steps it up in the game but he’s also getting it done in the classroom.”Along with juggling being one of the captains of the soccer team, defending a backfield and excelling his classes, Sarkodie is trying to lead his .500 team to an NCAA berth.After a 1-0 overtime loss to Ohio State, Sarkodie was still positive about the rest of the 2009 road.“I’m really just trying to keep the guys’ spirits up and let them know that all the guys believe in them, the coaches still believe in them and that when we step on the field, we got to exhibit a lot of confidence,” he said. “You’ve got to put the last game behind you and focus on what’s next.”

Men's soccer 3rd overtime loss drops IU to .500
(11/02/09 5:36am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Defender Matt Wiet shoved, forward Will Bruin fought and goalkeeper Nemanja Kostic dove, but in the end all that mattered was the nudged goal from Ohio State’s Eric Shrigley.“There’s just no room for mistakes,” junior midfielder Daniel Kelly said. “You play not really a perfect game, but well enough, and one little mess-up will just ruin your game.”As a stunned IU soccer team hung its head, its opponent celebrated the overtime victory as Ohio State beat IU 1-0 in the first three minutes of extra time. The Hoosiers are now 1-3-1 in overtime play.For the fourth time this season, the wrong team has been celebrating on Jerry Yeagley Field.“I’m not used to this situation – haven’t been in this situation before,” IU coach Mike Freitag said. “Do you scream and yell at them? Are you super positive? I think the real thing is you be realistic, and you talk about the things we do wrong. Where do we need to go do from here on out?”The loss drops IU back at .500 for the season at 8-8-1. They are now 2-3 in conference play.“It’s tough,” Kelly said. “We just got to be positive and believe in everybody’s ability. But we should be able to defend for 90 minutes, 110 minutes, whatever it is.”The two Big Ten teams maintained the conference’s aggressive reputation with pushing, shoving, pulling and the eventual awarding of three yellow cards – two of which went to IU. It was not much of a surprise that Bruin received a yellow card, because he played with triple-team coverage any time the ball came near him.“Will’s in a tough, tough situation because our deficiencies are so, we feel he has to be the lone man up top,” Freitag said. “But we should be able to give him support. It’s a big burden on his shoulder to be up there by himself. It takes a special player, but if anyone can do it, he’s the one.”Although Ohio State dominated possession during the first half, IU came out of the locker room after halftime with more pressure and evened the playing field. A regulation game was not enough to satisfy the competitive edge of either team.“I felt like we played really well, and we just can’t seem to get any breaks,” Kelly said.With the start of overtime and four saves on the day, Kostic stood in goal ready to defend. But he wasn’t ready for the situation that ensued.“It was an awkward cross in the back post, and somehow the guy got a hold of it, toe-poked it,” he said. “I got a little touch on it, but he was too close.” The attack seemed to be a replay from two weeks ago when IU lost to Michigan State at home in a double-overtime golden goal.“I can’t do heart surgery,” Freitag said about his players. “Sometimes you got to have heart, and maybe we lack some of that. I hate to think that. I think most of these guys have it, but right now it’s not showing up.”With a lack of confidence and a season that could end sooner than planned, a disheartened IU squad now sits scoring the same number of goals it has allowed.“It’s all about looking at ourselves,” Freitag said. “I told them you all have to go and look at yourself and analyze yourself and what you can do better. Before you start pointing fingers at anybody else or talking about anybody else, did you play a perfect game? Could you have done things better for us to be successful?”But until the team’s game on Friday against Penn State, the Hoosiers will sit with the sour taste of another overtime goal.“It happens,” Kostic said. “It’s soccer. It’s just a game ... I guess. It’s hard to lose that way. I’d rather lose 5-0 than lose that way.”

Hoosiers trump Purple Aces
(10/29/09 3:40am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>IU took free kicks, jumped for headers and, for 345 minutes, failed to put the ball in the net – until senior midfielder Lee Hagedorn changed the Hoosiers’ downhill course.“It was a whole 90-minute performance,” Hagedorn said. “Some games, we let up at the last second and give away goals. This time, we stayed focused the whole time and really put together a nice performance in its entirety.”Indiana ended their three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory against the Evansville Purple Aces at home Wednesday.“We haven’t done as well as we’ve liked to here at home, and we have great fans coming day in and day out to support us,” Hagedorn said. “It was good to actually get a win at home in front of our fans.”Senior goalkeeper Nemanja Kostic provided the fans with a new style in-goal when he made his first start Wednesday. Kostic brought an aggressive style to Jerry Yeagley’s pitch.“This was the first time that it did actually take me a while to get settled in, but I’m fine now,” Kostic said about his first start in a IU jersey after transferring from Maine. “I wish I was a freshman.”However, Kostic’s seniority showed on the field with improved play from the defense.“I thought Nemo played within himself,” IU coach Mike Freitag said. “He gave us some confidence and handled things cleanly. It’s hard for him being a starter coming here and not starting until tonight, but he’s handled himself like a professional.”The win kept the Hoosiers from tying the program’s longest losing streak, which came in 1985.“Tonight I thought we played within ourselves and did everything we needed to be successful,” Freitag said. “This is a hard team to play against. The guys executed today and we fought.”IU snapped the program’s second-longest scoreless streak, which stood at 377:53 during the 2008 season.“I think the guys know. It’s time you gotta put up or shut up,” Freitag said. “We were focused from the start and we played 90 minutes. That was the key, we played 90 minutes.”During an aggressive but uneventful first half, the Hoosiers pushed, shoved and fought their way to try and score, but none of their five attempts were successful. With only two goals scored during the first half of games this season, not much more was to be expected.“I’m hoping there’s aggressive play on the field every night,” Freitag said. “At times I think we’ve been a little bit lax here at the end of the season. Sometimes you just have to get after it.”On the third shot of the second half, Hagedorn’s kick gave Indiana their first goal in 14 days. The Columbus, Ind., native tacked on his second goal of the 2009 season.“Lee’s a young man that people sometimes question his ability,” Freitag said. “I have no question about his ability. He’s going to fight. He’s going to work. You know he’s going to do something positive for your team.”Rough play continued with three yellow cards and a scuffle between defenders. IU stayed focused and solidified their win when freshman midfielder Nick Blevins gave his team the confidence boost they talked about needing this week when he scored a goal in the 67th minute.“We know we got a talented group – we know we got good players,” Hagedorn said. “I think we found the right mix now to get going forward. Now, we got our confidence back. “I know we can take on anyone.”
Carmel High School alumni to face off during men's soccer match
(10/28/09 2:30am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>IU’s next game will be more than a must-win contest for an NCAA tournament berth.This matchup will be a chance for two IU players to show two former teammates why seven stars sit atop the logos on their jerseys.Just 73 miles from where they spent four years together at Carmel High School, junior midfielder Rich Balchan and redshirt sophomore midfielder Tyler McCarroll will take the field against Evansville’s Aaron Henkle and Robby Lynch.IU will try to end its shut-out skid when it faces Evansville at Jerry Yeagley Field.Although the Carmel alumni have played with their former teammates during the summer, a game situation is not the same.“They’ll probably come out a little harder,” Balchan said.Evansville will be fighting to break a seven-game losing streak to IU. Regardless, McCarroll and Balchan both agreed the game is somewhat about the bragging rights.“Off the field, we’re friends,” Balchan said. “We’ll talk to each other, keep up with each other, wishing each other well on the field. This just provides extra motivation for me.”Motivation is exactly what the struggling Hoosiers (7-7-1, 2-2) need. With three straight shutout losses, the Hoosiers are looking for a win and a confidence booster against Evansville.Confidence, McCarroll said, is the missing component when it comes to IU gelling as a team.“I think this season has taken a lot of confidence out of us,” McCarroll said. “We just need to focus on these next three games and get our confidence back before the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAAs.”However, Balchan is still approaching this home contest like every other this season.“Each game is the same,” he said. “There’s a lot of pressure to get in the tournament, so we’re going to come out and play how we should.”The Hoosiers want to stay above .500 in hopes of receiving an NCAA tournament bid, but this game could be season-changing.“It’s one of the biggest games of the season for us,” McCarroll said. “It’s a turning point in our season. We just got to focus on that game and that game only.”IU, which has gone 277 minutes without a goal, is going against a team that has only allowed one goal or less in its last six contests. Because of the Hoosiers’ recent declining play, Balchan said IU is more concerned with the Cream and Crimson than the Purple Aces.“We have to go in a game knowing that we’re going to score and also know that we’re going to keep the ball out of the net,” Balchan said. “I don’t think we have that confidence going into this game now. We’ve lost three straight, so we have to get our swagger back.”

Designing bags for Alzheimer’s
(10/23/09 1:12am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Jocelyn Solorzano has designed more than 50 bags for her Going Green For Grandpa campaign.Since June, when she first saw a report on how little the government contributes to Alzheimer’s research, Solorzano has been designing bags and selling them to help raise money for the cause.“Because it’s mostly private companies that are trying to come up with new medicine for Alzheimer’s, not enough government money is going to that,” Solorzano said. “My grandpa had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and he progressed really quickly and I thought, ‘There’s just got to be a way for me to raise money.’”That way ended up being the green movement.Each bag is made out of eco-friendly fabric – as close to 100 percent recycled material as Solorzano can find. She designs the bags to custom-fit the needs of each order.“People want crazy colors, or they want an all-black bag with silver writing,” she said. “I have to go out of my way to get materials, so it does cost more, but if they are willing to pay for it, then I don’t mind doing it.”A typical Going Green for Grandpa bag costs $5. However, since Solorzano does all the sketching of the bag by hand, a custom name on the bag costs $7. Although the bags are handmade, Solorzano usually has an order finished in a day.After showing the bags off at a grocery store in her hometown of Fishers, Ind., Solorzano spent the better part of her summer making bags, but she said it was a lesson learned from her leadership retreat that pushed her to make the first one.Solorzano attended LeaderShape, a week of activities and skill-building with other leaders in Morgantown, Ind. The LeaderShape Institute IU brings students from IU’s campuses together for a week of team building. There, Solorzano was told that leadership starts with a vision.“Before LeaderShape, it just would have been a thought,” she said. “But after coming from that I thought, ‘I actually need to be proactive about it and doing something.’ It definitely motivated me to go ahead and do it and not be so scared not to do it.”Conor McIntyre, one of the coordinators of LeaderShape, said Solorzano is on to something with her philanthropic cause.“It’s one thing to have an idea, but it’s another thing to take an idea and put it into action,” McIntyre said. “It’s admirable that she’s done it so quickly.”Solorzano’s grandpa passed away just days before her return to campus this year. Now, her grandmother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but she has no intention of changing her nonprofit business’s name.“It’s just something that is going to happen a lot to a lot more people,” Solorzano said. “If everyone keeps saying, ‘Oh, that’s so sad,’ but they don’t do anything about it, then we’re not going to actually get anything accomplished.”
IU loses in Louisville, drops to 7-6-1 on season
(10/22/09 4:33am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Louisville only took six minutes to net their first goal of the evening Wednesday against IU. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, a regulation soccer match is 90 minutes long.The loss gives the Hoosiers their fourth loss to a ranked opponent this season and the Cardinals’ 10th shutout and win of the regular season.“It was a good team playing a team that didn’t show up to play,” IU coach Mike Freitag said. “That’s why the result was what it was. This team is not good enough to come and play half-hearted. If it does we’ll get spanked like we did tonight.” Senior back Ofori Sarkodie credited Louisville with a solid match and a strong amount of intensity, something he said his team lacked.“On our side, I felt like the first five, 10 minutes of the game we were just a little too lackadaisical,” Sarkodie said. “We didn’t bring enough intensity to the match.”Louisville’s sophomore forward Colin Rolfe tacked on two goals for the Cardinals, one during the first and the other during the second half of the game.Eight minutes before Louisville tacked on their fourth goal of the evening, IU sophomore forward Will Bruin received his first red card of the season. The red card could not have come at a worse time for Bruin, with a conference match-up against Northwestern on Sunday that he will now have to sit out.“I definitely feel like we under-produced,” senior midfielder Lee Hagedorn said. “They just came in and scored right off the bat. They kept on pressing and we never really got right. It came back to haunt us by not coming out hard in the very beginning.”Freshman goalkeeper Luis Soffner also saw the bench for the first time this season when he was replaced by senior Nemanja Kostic at the start of the second half.“I made wholesale changes at halftime,” Freitag said. “I thought the group that started the game, many of them didn’t come with the heart that is IU soccer.”After a double overtime loss to Michigan State on Sunday, the Hoosiers have now suffered back-to-back shutouts. The loss is the Hoosiers’ fourth shut-out loss of the season.The only way Sarkodie sees his team turning their downhill slide around is by reaching within themselves.“Basically, getting back to the drawing board and figuring out what personalities we have as a team,” Sarkodie said. “We got to find a way to bring better spirit, to bring the energy.”

Freshman, senior make first, last Louisville trip in IU soccer jerseys
(10/21/09 3:11am)
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A freshman starts a new chapter and a senior closes one today.Senior Darren Yeagle and freshman Kevin Bick, both Louisville, Ky., natives, return home for their last and first trips, respectively, in cream and crimson.Bick, a St. Xavier graduate will take the pitch today in Louisville against two former high school teammates, sophomore midfielder Jimmy Crick and freshman midfielder Ryan Smith.“I’ve known Jimmy Crick since grade school,” Bick said about his relationship with his former teammate. “He’s afamily friend. But, it’s really exciting. It’s going to be a fun game. It’ll be a good experience going back.”A No. 25 Hoosier squad, 7-5-1, takes the field against the No. 8 Cardinal team that has lost only twice this season. Before Louisville’s overtime loss to St. John’s last week, its only other defeat was 22 days earlier against Notre Dame.With a dominating 9-2-2 record, the Cardinals have shut out their opponents in every win during regular season play.However, IU coach Mike Freitag seems unfazed by the fact that the Cardinals have shut out all but one opponent they have a win against.“They’re a good team,” he said. “That’s what that tells me.”Although Bick had a chance to wear the red and white of Louisville, he chose instead to wear IU cream and crimson.“It’s just a normal game,” Bick said. “They know why I chose Indiana. It’s just different. It’s no big deal. It’s just a game.”Freitag said flip-flopping between conference and non-conference games is a part of the schedule and is necessary.“You’ve got so many games in the season – you have to find those midweek games where you can play a strong game midweek,” he said. “Louisville will be a very strong one, and Notre Dame was a tough one last week.”IU is 2-3 on the month with one of the losses coming from a Big Ten matchup against Michigan State. The double overtime loss to Michigan State marked the second extra-time loss for the Hoosiers in October, the first being an upset against Butler.“We just have to come together as a team,” Yeagle said. “We missed a lot of opportunities ... but we just have to go out to practice and work on them.”The senior forward is making his final trip to his hometown in an Indiana uniform. He is looking forward to returning to Louisville to show off his footwork.However, Yeagle is not overlooking his hometown college team.“It’s always good to go back home to your home city, but it’s going to be a tough game,” he said. “Louisville is good this year, so it’s going to be hard to beat them at their place.”Yeagle said what the Cream and Crimson need to do differently against the Cardinals is one key word they have been saying all season: focus.“We dominated the whole game (on Sunday), and for 10 seconds we just gave up and lost focus,” Yeagle said. “We need to focus for 90 minutes. That’s what it’s going to take.”
