Team outdone by ranked Illini in straight sets

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Monday, Nov. 15,2004 12:24 a.m.

Hoping to bounce back from a tough loss against Purdue last week, the IU women's volleyball team played host to Illinois Friday night at University Gymnasium. The Hoosiers fell behind quickly against the Illini and never bounced back, losing in straight sets, 20-30, 18-30, 22-30. IU came out looking tired after the emotionally draining five-set loss to the Boilermakers Wednesday.

Goal-line plunge eludes IU offense

By Dan Patrick · Monday, Nov. 15,2004 12:22 a.m.

Two minutes left, first down, one yard to go. Trailing by a mere six points, the Hoosiers were knocking on Penn State's door with a chance to beat the Nittany Lions for the first time in 10 tries. In a scenario that has become all too familiar for IU this season, the Hoosiers were unable to punch the ball in the end zone in four straight running plays, and gave the Hoosiers their seventh loss of the season.

Sluggish Hoosiers beat SIUE by 10

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Monday, Nov. 15,2004 12:21 a.m.

For the first 18 minutes and 19 seconds Friday, the men's basketball team scored as many points as the IU football team scored Saturday. In their last exhibition game of the 2004-2005 season, the Hoosiers came out tired and sluggish against Division II Southern Illinois University -- Edwardsville, in a 57-47 Hoosier victory Friday night at Assembly Hall.

It's just the second tie for No. 2 college football in the history of The Associated Press media poll. The other was Nov. 3, 1991, when Miami and Washington were tied behind No. 1 Florida State. That year, the Hurricanes and Huskies eventually shared the national title. Miami finished No. 1 in the AP poll and Washington took the top spot in the coaches poll.

The IU men's cross country team all but guaranteed its NCAA bid with a fifth-place finish in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Saturday at Eastern Michigan University.

Defense steps up for Indianapolis in rout of Texans

By Tyler Hoeppner and yler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Nov. 15,2004 12:12 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The defense that took the field for the Indianapolis Colts in their 49-14 win Sunday didn't look like the one that had been out there the previous eight games of the season. The one that showed up at the RCA Dome tied a season-low for points given up, had five sacks and forced four turnovers -- two returned for touchdowns.

Hoosier Heartbreak

By Dan Click · Monday, Nov. 15,2004 12:11 a.m.

The Hoosiers found out the hard way why the last yard to the end zone is called the "longest yard" in their 22-18 loss Saturday to Penn State on Senior Day. Facing third and nine, senior quarterback Matt LoVecchio winged a pass to fellow senior, wide receiver Travis Haney. Haney worked his way down the field stretching his 6-foot-5-inch frame for every inch toward the end zone before being pulled down just shy of the goal line.

Runners enter Regional meet with different priorities

Just five years ago, the IU men's cross country team only hoped they would qualify for the NCAA Championships. This Saturday, instead of taking a last-ditch chance at qualifying and hoping luck falls on the Hoosiers' side, they will run with confidence, knowing that the 10,000-meter race at Eastern Michigan University is just a formality.

Hoosier quest for repeat titles starts today

By Brian Janosch · Friday, Nov. 12,2004 12:46 a.m.

Seven. Seven deadly sins, seven days in a week. Seven: the name stolen from George Costanza. Seven is also the number of games that lies between the IU men's soccer team and a successful defense of last year's NCAA Championship season. The Hoosiers will begin that defense at 11:30 a.m. today against Michigan State in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament in Ann Arbor, Mich.

By Eamonn Brennan · Friday, Nov. 12,2004 12:43 a.m.

Tennis, by nature, is a sport of the individual. Even when a team concept is at hand, success rides on the collection of singular efforts. The IU men's tennis team will test the strength of its individual parts this weekend as the Hoosiers close their fall season with the Big Ten Singles Championship at the Nielson Tennis Stadium at the University of Wisconsin.

One Last Time

By Dan Patrick · Friday, Nov. 12,2004 12:43 a.m.

One last hurrah. The 2004 class of Hoosier football players will suit up for the final time at Memorial Stadium Saturday against the 2-7 Penn State Nittany Lions. While 18 players will say goodbye to their home turf, all the players remain vigilant in their quest to beat Penn State despite the lack of a bowl bid. Senior safety Herana-Daze Jones said the team still has high expectations for Saturday's game, and he fully believes the Hoosiers can pull out a victory.
