Aggressive play sets tone

By Ira Klapper · Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:47 p.m.

Five fouls in a NCAA basketball game will get a player ejected. Committing a penalty in a hockey game will relegate a player to the penalty box. Offensive holding in a football game will push a player back ten yards. Most coaches will preach the avoidance of such blunders. Don't tell that to the women's soccer coach, Mick Lyon.

Rotten NFL inspires guilt

The term "guilty pleasure" is usually brought up in regards to something entertainment-related and something you wouldn't be willing to divulge in mixed company.

Change pays off

Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:44 p.m.

Three years ago, if someone would have told Molly Pulkrabek that by her senior season she would be a star goalkeeper on the IU field hockey team, she probably would have laughed in their face. Pulkrabek, from Barrington, Ill., came to IU as a soccer goalie for the Hoosiers, and played her freshman season on the squad. But when field hockey coach Amy Robertson started the program during Pulkrabek's sophomore year, she made the switch from shin guards to hockey sticks. Pulkrabek said her soccer background has helped her immensely in field hockey.

Phariss leads young team

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 24,2002 12:18 a.m.

Veteran leadership is a quality that does not appear in any boxscore, but without it no team can function. On a squad that features three freshmen and sophomores in its top five, IU needs a veteran presence to bring all of its parts together. Despite their youth, the No. 23 ranked Hoosiers are mature and are making progress toward Nationals, including a convincing victory at Friday's Indiana Intercollegiates. Junior Bart Phariss provides the team with a central veteran presence, said coach Robert Chapman.

Offense clicks in Big Ten opener

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 24,2002 12:15 a.m.

Following the Hoosiers game against Hartwick last weekend, coach Jerry Yeagley warned that the floodgates would open soon, and IU's offense would roll over someone. That someone happened to be Michigan State, and the Hoosier offense opened up less than a minute into the game and washed the Spartans away in the Big Ten conference opener.

Freshman making early impact

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 24,2002 12:12 a.m.

In Saturday's 39-29 win over Central Michigan, IU was led by a strong defensive effort in the second half. The Hoosier defense is a very young squad with several freshmen getting serious playing time. One of those freshman is John Kerr, who had eight tackles Saturday. Kerr is making an immediate impact. He started the season as the outside linebacker but has done the most damage since moving to middle linebacker. Despite being a little undersized, the 6-foot, 240-pound Kerr always seems to be around the ball.

By Steve Hinson · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1:08 a.m.

Severe weather tried unsuccessfully to ruin the afternoon for the Indiana Intercollegiates cross country meet Friday afternoon. Although tornado warnings highlighted the day for most of central Indiana, the story at the IU cross country course was the dominant effort put forth by the men's team. The team won both the team and individual titles.

East Lansing, Mich. -- The IU men's soccer team made a statement to the rest of the Big Ten conference on Sunday in East Lansing, Mich.

Fumble turns game around for IU

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1:05 a.m.

With 10:28 remaining in the third quarter, the Hoosiers looked like a prizefighter hanging on the ropes, bracing for Central Michigan's knockout blow. Senior quarterback Gibran Hamdan had just thrown an interception to Central Michigan sophomore free safety James King, giving the Chippewas the ball at the IU 15-yard line and looking to build on a 29-16 lead.

Hoosiers battle back for win

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1:04 a.m.

With about 10:00 left in the third quarter, things were not looking good for the Hoosiers. Already trailing 29-13 to Central Michigan, the Chippewas picked off senior Gibran Hamdan's pass and had the ball on the IU 15 yard-line. Central Michigan looked as if they would extend their lead. But on their second play of that drive, senior Jeremy Belcher forced a fumble from CMU running back Robbie Mixon, and senior defensive lineman Kris Dielman recovered for IU.

By Aaron Beard · Sunday, Sept. 22,2002 9:13 p.m.

The Hoosiers fell to 2-5 over the weekend after losing to Ball State for the second time this season, 1-0. Similar to the first game between the two, IU was dominated on the offensive side.

Hoosiers finish in fifth

By Aaron Beard · Sunday, Sept. 22,2002 9:12 p.m.

It's amazing what two weeks can do. Two weeks without competition. Two weeks to reflect on the last tournament. Two weeks to find any mistakes and correct them, and two weeks to get ready to win. That is exactly what the Hoosiers did on Saturday. Sunday, however, was a different story. The Hoosiers ended Saturday in second place, one shot back of leader Eastern Kentucky University, but fell in the standings Sunday to finish the tournament in fifth place.

By Steve Hinson · Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:37 a.m.
