Hoosiers running for victories

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:34 a.m.

There are two ways a team can qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships held in Terre Haute in late November. The first is to finish among the top two teams at the NCAA Great Lakes District meet. The other is to amass enough wins over quality teams to receive an at-large bid. IU's first chance at gathering wins came at the Notre Dame Invitational two weeks ago, where they secured a win over the University of Florida, a virtual lock for an automatic bid out of the South Region. IU's next chance is tomorrow at the Pre-NCAA meet, held in Terre Haute as an opportunity for teams to take a trial run on the NCAA course.

IU looks for fresh start

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:33 a.m.

The IU women's volleyball team will hit the road this weekend looking for a fresh start after dropping matches to Ohio State and Penn State in Bloomington last weekend. The Hoosiers could not find their stride against the Buckeyes or the Nittany Lions, which both have programs ranked nationally in the top-10. Madison, Wisc., will be the first stop for the Hoosiers, who will face the Badgers at 7 p.m. today.

Team hopes to add wins before regionals

By Andy Romey · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:32 a.m.

The IU women's cross country team will compete Saturday in Terre Haute at the Pre-NCAAs, a race where the team will look to help pave the road to a nationals appearance. IU coach Judy Wilson said the meet is important to the team because the team needs to accumulate wins over other teams before its regional meet, the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, and ultimately prove its worthiness of an appearance at a nationals meet that is only 5 1/2 weeks away.

on the SIDELINES

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:31 a.m.

Schilling will not start Game 5 because of ankle BOSTON -- Curt Schilling will miss a start for the first time all season -- and just when the Red Sox need him most. The Boston ace was scratched from his scheduled start in Game 5 of the AL championship series against the New York Yankees because of an injured ankle that was too sore to test Thursday. Manager Terry Francona wouldn't rule Schilling out for a later start -- if the Red Sox make it that far.

By Alyson Brodsy and Ben Walker · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:27 a.m.

ST. LOUIS - Rain or shine, the St. Louis Cardinals' big bats always seem to come through in the end. Albert Pujols led off the eighth inning with a tiebreaking home run, Scott Rolen followed with his second homer of the game and the Cardinals stormed back to beat Houston 6-4 on a miserable Thursday night for a 2-0 lead in the NL championship series.

Offense showing improvement

By Dan Click · Thursday, Oct. 14,2004 2:28 a.m.

After two weeks of sputtering against Michigan State and Michigan, the IU offense woke up against Northwestern, tallying more than 400 yards of offense for the second time this season. Both 400-yard offensive games were squandered by IU as the Hoosiers fell to Northwestern 31-24 in double overtime and to the University of Kentucky, 51-32.

Freshman etches name in program's record books

By John Fischer · Thursday, Oct. 14,2004 2:28 a.m.

She's young, she's fun and she has done what no one else in the history of IU women's soccer has accomplished. On Sept. 30, in a mid-week, non-conference game against Oakland University, Lindsay McCarthy tallied three goals for the Hoosiers to become the first true freshman to score a hat trick.

Defender happy to return to lineup

By Steve Slivka · Thursday, Oct. 14,2004 2:19 a.m.

He started all 25 matches of the IU men's soccer team last season and earned Big Ten Conference All-Freshman team honors. When IU made its west coast swing to New Mexico for two matches against UC-Santa Barbara and New Mexico in mid-September -- both double-overtime losses for the Hoosiers -- he injured the medial collateral ligament in his right knee while going for a 50/50 ball against New Mexico.

U.S. romps Panama in World Cup qualifier

By Alyson Brodsy and Barry Wilner · Thursday, Oct. 14,2004 1:43 a.m.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Established star Landon Donovan and rising sensation Eddie Johnson carried the United States into the regional qualifying finals for the 2006 World Cup in emphatic fashion Wednesday night. Donovan scored the first two goals, then Johnson, a second-half substitute, got three in a row in a 6-0 rout of Panama. It was the first U.S. hat trick in World Cup qualifying since 1968 and only the third ever.

Orton nearly gets sacked by his classwork, Penn State

By Alyson Brodsy and Rusty Miller · Thursday, Oct. 14,2004 1:42 a.m.

Professors were as much the cause of Kyle Orton's first off game as pass rushers and defensive backs. The Purdue quarterback went through the first four games without throwing an interception. Then came a difficult week of tests and papers in class -- and a tough Penn State defense -- and the result was a rather ordinary day for Orton in Purdue's 20-13 win Saturday. "The thing about college is, when you have a test, you have four tests," Orton said. "It was a tough week last week, mainly because of academics. ... It's funny, all the professors seem to save the tests for the same week." Orton had to write an English paper and take tests in history and also Race and Gender, all while preparing for a road game at raucous Beaver Stadium. "It was very demanding," coach Joe Tiller said. "He had a very challenging week, but didn't let on. He really subscribes to the theory, 'never show weakness.'"

Astros won't use Clemens or Oswalt until Game 3

By Alyson Brodsy and Ben Walker · Wednesday, Oct. 13,2004 12:57 a.m.

ST. LOUIS -- In Roger Clemens and Roy Oswalt, the Houston Astros have one of the best pitching tandems in all of baseball. Only one problem going into the NL championship series: With no time to rest, those guys have been aced out of starting the first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Senior Jeff Overton, who claimed four first-place finishes last fall, repeated as the medalist at Xavier for his first win of the fall campaign.

Shortly after jetting back from a funeral for relatives in Panama, baseball's greatest closer stopped the surging Boston Red Sox, who had cut an eight-run deficit to one. Rivera got Kevin Millar to pop out to strand the tying run at third base in the eighth inning, then finished out a thrilling 10-7 win for the Yankees in Tuesday night's opener of the AL championship series.
