Big Ten win a big relief

·

April 26, 2003. This is a date that will be burned into the minds of the Hoosier faithful as it was the date the softball team snapped a 33-game long winless streak in the Big Ten. Just 48 hours short of making the winless streak exactly two years old, sophomore Ashley Griffiths brought some power to the plate and sent a ball over the left field fence in the seventh to steal a 5-4 decision from the Michigan State Spartans, ending the streak and sending the team into elation. "It was like a Toyota commercial, we were jumping up and down," coach Sara Hayes said. "We celebrated with ice cream afterwards and we're still in the process of absorbing the emotion from the win."

Seniors leave question marks

·

As graduation day nears, seniors have begun thinking about the future outside of Bloomington. For the underclassmen who still have requirements to fill and credits to earn, college life is still a main priority. But for Little 500 riders, the future of a team hinges on graduating seniors. Losing just one rider could hurt a team's chance to turn out a successful performance the next year. After Sigma Alpha Epsilon lost its IU charter in 2002, the team of riders registered as an independent team, The Corleones.
