Defense get big lift from transfer

By Dan Click · Thursday, Sept. 23,2004 12:39 a.m.

Junior linebacker Paul Szczesny had a choice. When it came time to choose a school to continue his football career he had options: He could have been a Trojan, a Sooner, a Bruin or a Badger. Instead he decided to become a Hoosier, and the coaching staff and he couldn't be happier with the decision, he said. Szczesny (pronounced Skez-nee) thought about staying out West, but his Niles, Ill., roots brought him back to the Midwest as he began to consider schools in the heartland of America.

Daily grind leaves senior's plate full

By Andy Romey · Wednesday, Sept. 22,2004 12:35 a.m.

After hammering the snooze button with a full fist, the typical IU student tries desperately just to get those ever-so-important five extra minutes of sleep. Getting on and successfully riding the bus is even more of a challenge, filled with constant head-nods and dozing-off. And the further into the semester, that morning shower becomes scarier and the Starbucks cups or a want for a direct IV line of coffee becomes more prevalent. And we haven't even talked about class and the struggle to pencil in a nap somewhere.

IU hopes to bounce back against Boilers

By Kevin Dwire · Wednesday, Sept. 22,2004 12:34 a.m.

The brooms were out this past weekend at the T.I.S. Bookstore Invitational, held at IU's University Gym. Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, the visiting teams were the ones cleaning up, sweeping IU three matches to none. Despite losses to Kent State University, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Alabama, there were bright spots and even an IU milestone that has the team confident and ready to move on. In the loss to Kent State, senior Christina Archibald's 26 kills helped her set a new all-time kills record at IU. Archibald has now recorded 1,547 kills, breaking the previous record set by Melissa Brewer in 2003.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Last week, the IU football team forced seven turnovers from a ranked opponent at a stadium that hadn't seen a non-conference visitor win in a decade. Saturday, that same Hoosier defense was unable to capitalize on the opponents' miscues or keep them out of the end zone.
