Back of pack hopeful about race day

·

The final row in the 2001 women's Little 500 is no different than the final rows in the men's race; most of the teams in the back of the pack lack experience. This row is no different. The final qualifier lost a team member two days before qualifications, and another squad hasn't raced since 1997.

Been done before, but still scary

·

Sometimes, the scariest movies don't let you see the thing you are afraid of. Typically, our own fear-inducing imaginations scare us a lot more than what's revealed explicitly. Who hasn't been home alone at night and associated every little noise they heard with an intruder in the house? Well, Mark Pellington, director of "Mothman Prophecies," understands this philosophy. Seeing is sometimes not nearly as scary as imagining.

Team heads south for weekend matches

·

The women's tennis team travels this weekend to North Carolina to compete against No. 7 Duke and North Carolina State. Duke is heavily favored Sunday, especially since the match will be played at Durham. Duke is the highest ranking team on the Hoosier's schedule this season and therefore poses the greatest challenge. IU last defeated the Blue Devils in the quarterfinals of the National Team Indoor Championships in 1995.

Hoosiers seek redemption, victory in Purdue game

·

What the Hoosier football team is really made of will be determined Saturday. Now that a bowl appearance is impossible and a winning season no longer attainable, pride and respect are two attributes the IU team can hope to take from this season. But two rivals stand in the Hoosiers' way of ending the season admirably. First up is intrastate enemy, Purdue, who has won the past four meetings and is tied for second in the Big Ten. The two teams face off at 12:10 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Hoosiers play for first win against Stanford

·

The Stanford Cardinals will travel to Bloomington for women's field hockey action today at 3:30 p.m. The Hoosiers are looking for their first win of the season, their second since becoming a varsity sport one year ago. The Hoosiers are 0-3 so far this season. Stanford, who returns 10 starters from last year, visits Louisville, Ky. before heading to the Mellencamp Pavilion. It is questionable whether fatigue will play a factor in today's game.

·

Team struggles, defeats Hawkeyes

The men's tennis team defeated Iowa Saturday to pick up its first conference victory of the season and their first overall win in the last four matches. "We needed this match," coach Ken Hydinger said. "We came in 0-2 in the conference and now are 1-2, so we have a chance to earn our way out of a hole." But climbing from the hole did not come easily for the Hoosiers.

Hoosiers victorious in opener

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- George Leach didn't want to sit the bench. He didn't want to wear the white practice jersey that denotes the second team. After Sunday's eight-point, seven-rebound, four-block performance in IU's 65-61 season-opening victory at Charlotte, Leach decreased the chance either will happen again. "I called my mom (before the game), and she said 'You know you can play basketball, so calm down,'" said Leach, who graduated from Charlotte's Olympic High School. "I just did what I thought I could do. I figured while I was in there, I might as well try something."

Davis: All 11 players will stay

·

With the announcement of Mike Davis as IU's next head basketball coach, attention turned to next season. Davis said he expects all 11 players to return and for the two incoming freshmen, especially Donald Perry, to contribute. "If somebody leaves, it will be hard to replace them," Davis said. "I'm prepared to beg them to stay. Hopefully they understand we can win a Big Ten title and a national championship."

Hoosiers to face Iowa, Notre Dame at home

·

In athletics, some say the way to become the best is to play the best. The IU men's tennis team will get that chance Saturday against in-state perennial power Notre Dame. After losing their last three matches, and five of the past six, the Hoosiers have the daunting task of facing the No. 7 Fighting Irish in addition to conference foe Iowa.

Big game, bigger victory

Jeff Newton's teammates call him weird. They say he's playing like a man. They say they can't say enough about how well he's playing. His coach remembers when he couldn't make contact with the rim on a free throw. Judging by his wacky career, they're all right on.

March sadness

·

SAN DIEGO -- Freshman guard A.J. Moye tried to fight back tears when he walked off the court after IU's 77-73 loss to Kent State Thursday in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Moye had just finished playing the best game of his career. He scored a career-high 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds, including two on offense in the final four minutes that delayed the inevitable -- the upset loss to the 13th-seeded Golden Flashes.

Hoosiers complete regular season

·

The men's soccer team completed its road season with a win and a tie against two highly regarded programs this weekend, beating No. 10 Rutgers 1-0 Friday and tying Princeton (6-2-5) 1-1 Sunday. The No. 7 Hoosiers (11-3-1) used a familiar formula, combining strong defense with the goal scoring of junior All-American Pat Noonan, who recorded two goals on the road trip. IU 1 Rutgers 0 The Hoosiers defense proved too much for a usually potent Rutgers offense, as IU recorded its 10th shutout in 11 wins.
