Seniors shine in final game

By Ira Klapper · Thursday, Oct. 31,2002 1:49 a.m.

The women's soccer team recognized its six seniors at Armstrong Stadium last night with the 10th annual Senior Night. After the pre-game festivities, IU went out and battled its in-state rival, the Butler Bulldogs. Butler, from the Horizon Conference, came to Bloomington with a 12-4 record, and looked to spoil Senior Night. A pair of seniors wouldn't allow that. After dominating Butler in most statistical categories for 85 minutes and spoiling numerous chances, IU (10-6-2, 4-4-2 Big Ten) finally scored a goal for a 1-0 win. It was scored by senior forward Jenny Mann, who was assisted by fellow senior forward Kate Kastl. The win improved IU to 4-5-1 all time against the Bulldogs. The goal gave the Hoosiers a win in their final regular season game before the Big Ten tournament, which begins in East Lansing, Mich. next Thursday.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets' 7-foot-5 rookie and the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, will make his NBA debut Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. "I think Yao is going to be a great player," Thomas said. "He's got all the tools to be one of the great centers in this league." Yao did not join the Rockets until Oct. 20 and played in just two preseason games, averaging 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 18.5 minutes a game. "He's big, he's got a great touch around the basket, he's got good hands, can pass the basketball, has good skill and he understands the game of basketball," Thomas said.

Baseball predictions pan out

By Val Tsoutouris · Tuesday, Oct. 29,2002 11:19 p.m.

Think back to what you were doing April 2. You probably had either college basketball or Prom on the mind and pepper spray in your eyes. I, however, made predictions on the baseball season in that day's IDS. Not to be self-serving, but let's see how they turned out. What I said: "Whenever the Phillies feel optimistic about themselves, they usually go in the trash bin." What happened: They didn't finish in last like I thought, but they did drop from 86 to 80 wins.
