The Hoosiers dropped their fifth consecutive dual meet Saturday, falling to No. 15 Texas A&M, 180.5-117.5. The loss, No. 25 IU's fourth straight to a ranked team will, in all probability, drop them out of the top 25 rankings.

The IU men's soccer team was all business as they arrived back to Bloomington Sunday afternoon after their trip to UCLA.

FALLING APART

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Dec. 8,2003 12:47 a.m.

For the second time in the last week, IU gave away a double-digit halftime lead. This time, however, the Hoosiers weren't as lucky as No. 4 Missouri rallied from an 11-point halftime hole, and a 14-point deficit with 7:14 remaining, to steal a 63-58 win in Assembly Hall Saturday. IU was outscored 21-2 during that stretch. Two free throws by IU sophomore forward Sean Kline with 4:23 left to play were the last points the Hoosiers would score. "We fell apart in the last four minutes of the game," Kline said. "Up 10 with four minutes, and just everything fell apart. We stopped executing offensively, turned the ball over a couple of times and didn't recover to the shooters. That's it right there." Every time the Tigers would score in the second half, the Hoosiers would respond.

IU knocks off No. 1

By Zack Eldridge · Monday, Dec. 8,2003 12:42 a.m.

Once IU surrendered an early goal to UCLA on the road Saturday, most people probably thought the Hoosiers' chances of winning weren't that good. After all, the Bruins were unbeaten in their last 19 matches, a stretch that included 18 wins and last year's national championship.

Yankees acquire Vazquez NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees made their first big move of the offseason, bolstering their rotation by agreeing Thursday to acquire Javier Vazquez from the Montreal Expos. In exchange for the 27-year-old right-hander, New York sent first baseman Nick Johnson, outfielder Juan Rivera and left-hander Randy Choate to Montreal. The deal is contingent on all the players passing physicals, the Expos said. New York did not immediately acknowledge the trade. "It's tough to trade a pitcher like Javier Vazquez, but I think we have a better opportunity with the situation going forward," Expos general manager Omar Minaya said at a news conference in Montreal.

Bonds set to testify

By Alyson Brodsy and Rob Gloster · Thursday, Dec. 4,2003 12:22 a.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds weighed 185 pounds as a rookie in 1986 when he was a slender leadoff hitter known more for stealing bases than hitting homers. Now he's a muscle-bound 230 pounds, a six-time National League MVP who holds the season record for home runs and is gaining on Hank Aaron's career mark. Bonds says his increased strength comes from intense weight training, a proper diet and nutritional supplements from companies such as the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO.
