New coach has plan to build a contender

By Jordan Cohen · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2007 11:10 p.m.

For a man whose previous head-coaching experience came at tiny Charleston Southern University and the even tinier Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., new IU head men’s tennis coach Randy Bloemendaal is thinking big. “I envision having Indiana attracting the best players,” he said. “I envision winning the national championship.”

By Michael Sanserino · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2007 12:20 a.m.

The Hoosiers swept through their weekend competition, posting triple-figures in every contest and limiting their opponents to an average of 50 points per game. Still, Sampson already has a list of necessary improvements for the next time the team practices – Oct. 13 during Hoosier Hysteria.

Former Hoosiers play against each other in Major League Soccer

By Linnea Coulter · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 9:53 p.m.

While IU fought to upset No. 2-ranked UCLA on the pitch last Sunday, four alumni of the IU men’s soccer team were fighting a battle of their own in Major League Soccer. The Columbus Crew hosted the Colorado Rapids, where Danny O’Rourke, Jed Zayner, and Ned Grabavoy of the Crew played against Jacob Peterson of the Rapids. All four men played on the 2004 Hoosier squad that won the College Cup on penalty kicks against UC-Santa Barbara. Today, the former national champions find themselves on professional teams fighting to make the playoffs. The Crew and the Rapids went into Sunday’s game tied for the eighth and final MLS playoff spot, but the Rapids would win the tiebreaker over the Crew with a greater goal differential on the season. Before the match, Zayner said he thought the game would be a launching pad for the Crew for the remainder of the season.

Roddick reaches Open quarterfinals

By Aaron Beard and Ben Walker · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 9:37 p.m.

Andy Roddick reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals thanks to another abbreviated work day. Roddick, the 2003 champion and 2006 runner-up, advanced Monday when his fourth-round opponent, No. 9-seeded Tomas Berdych, stopped playing in the second set because he had trouble breathing and felt sluggish. “I’ll probably head out to the practice courts right now,” said the fifth-seeded Roddick, who could face No. 1 Roger Federer next.

Won it for Hep

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 1:22 a.m.

For a moment, it appeared as if Indiana State had a chance Saturday. Not only did the Sycamores win the coin toss, but junior kicker Austin Starr’s opening kickoff went out of bounds, automatically placing the ball on the 35-yard line. After an opening five-play drive, however, ISU’s momentary elation ended when sophomore quarterback Kellen Lewis and junior wide receiver James Hardy began playing catch – and connected three times for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

Hoosiers beat top-ranked foe

By Linnea Coulter · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 1:11 a.m.

A record 7,423 people packed Bill Armstrong Stadium on Sunday to see the No. 7-ranked IU men’s soccer team battle No. 2-ranked UCLA, shattering the previous attendance mark of 6,000 set in 1987. No Hoosier left disappointed. IU defeated UCLA by a score of 1-0, and tied No. 9-ranked Maryland 1-1 on Friday night in the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic. This weekend’s play gives the Hoosiers something they can build upon as Big Ten season approaches.

Squad impresses in Tennessee over weekend

By Brandon Smith · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 1:06 a.m.

This weekend, the Hoosier volleyball team proved they could hold their own against elite competition, as they took two of three matches at the University of Tennessee Comcast Classic in Knoxville, Tenn., improving to 4-2 for the season. All three of the Hoosiers opponents this weekend advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. “We made baby steps this weekend,” IU coach Sherry Dunbar said. “This weekend, we played good quality teams with them all making the tournament last season.”

Hoosiers split two games on Florida road trip

By Ryan Gregg · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 12:44 a.m.

After falling to No.13 Florida 1-0 in its season opener last Friday, the IU women’s soccer team bounced back with a 4-3 double-overtime victory against Jacksonville Sunday. Despite putting numerous shots on goal, the Hoosiers found themselves down 3-2 late in the second half. Then in the 81st minute, sophomore midfielder Christie Kotynski crossed a pass to teammate Kelly Lawrence, who headed a shot past Jacksonville’s keeper to tie the game.

Lewis to Hardy...

By Tom Kir · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 12:31 a.m.

In just 20 seconds, Kellen Lewis and James Hardy stole the show. Sophomore quarterback Lewis and junior wide receiver Hardy were responsible for two one-play touchdown drives in the first half. The first was a 58-yard strike that took just six seconds. The touchdown pass was Lewis’s career best – for less than a quarter. In the second quarter, the pair hooked up on a 79-yard pass-and-catch to once again put the Hoosiers up by 14 points at 21-7. That drive lasted only 14 seconds. Indiana State never scored after that play, and the Hoosiers never looked back, reeling off 34 more points in the route.

Men's soccer to face Nos. 1- and 9-ranked teams this weekend

By DeAntae Prince · Friday, Aug. 31,2007 12:49 a.m.

If faced with two teams ranked in the top nine in the nation in one weekend, many coaches would be scrambling to prepare their team. IU coach Mike Freitag said when the No. 7 Hoosiers take the pitch this weekend in the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic to face the No. 2-ranked UCLA Bruins and the No. 9-ranked Maryland Terrapins, they will worry more about themselves than the opponent on the field.

By Brandon Smith · Friday, Aug. 31,2007 12:48 a.m.

This weekend, the IU volleyball team will face tough competition as they travel to Knoxville, Tenn., to take part in a tournament at the University of Tennessee. All three of the Hoosiers’ opponents this weekend made the NCAA tournament and had a combined record of 67-24 last season. Their first match will be against Belmont, the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Sun Conference.


Follow the leaders

By Lee Hurwitz · Friday, Aug. 31,2007 12 a.m.

When practice for the IU football team came to a close Wednesday night, apparently nobody told Tracy Porter it was over. Even if someone had, chances are the senior cornerback would have stayed out on the field. After the rest of the team left practice, Porter remained to work with junior wide receiver James Hardy and sophomore quarterback Kellen Lewis in preparation for Saturday night’s opener against the Indiana State Sycamores at Memorial Stadium.
