Men's golf team ready for Cinderella story in March

By Kevin Bowen

Head coach Mike Mayer and the IU men's golf team will continue its spring season Sunday at the Collegiate Match Play Championship in Marana, Ariz. The Hoosiers are the defending runner-up, but will have a lot of work to do this year to duplicate that result, as they are seeded 16th out of 16 teams. With the men's and women's basketball teams sitting at home this postseason maybe the men's golf team can make a Cinderella run this week. The Hoosiers will play two matches Sunday, another on Monday and a final match on Tuesday.

By Caitlin Ursini

After the the second day of NCAA championships the Hoosier are in 14th place overall. Senior Kate Fesenko took home a silver medal for the Hoosiers in the 100-backstroke. Ashley Jones finished seventh in the 400-IM to also earn the Hoosiers some points. In the 200-freestyle, Margaux Farrell finished 11th and Nikki White finished 14th. The final results from the 800-free relay are yet to come in, so the standings may vary slightly.

Don't Call It A Comeback

By Pat Hickey

Freshman third baseman Micah Johnson continued his torrid hot streak by blasting a solo shot in the ninth inning to tie up the game against Bradley (4-7) before Michael Basil delivered the go-ahead and eventual game-winning single in the 10th inning as Indiana (6-9) won on Tuesday 6-5.

Pitching Hurts Hoosiers Again

By Pat Hickey

Early pitching struggles forced a 9-0 deficit after three innings, and it proved to be too big of a lead to come back from as IU (5-9) dropped its' afternoon match-up against Yale (5-3-1) by a score of 10-6. The Hoosier offense began chipping away at the Yale lead in the fourth inning, when Alex Dickerson hit a two-run double.

What if...

By Jordan Cohen

If Moses Abraham chooses IU today (or tonight, or at 3:30 a.m. or next week), the Hoosiers will fill their last scholarship opening for 2010-2011 and should be done with the 2010 class. Assuming IU grabs one more member of the senior class --- whether that's Abraham, Will Yeguete or anyone else --- the Hoosiers are already on pace to be one over the 13 scholarship limit for the year after. Jeremiah Rivers is the only senior on next year's team, but IU already has two verbals (Matt Carlino, Austin Etherington) tentatively set to come in for 2011-2012. Certainly, Crean is still targeting 2011 hard (Cody Zeller, Jeremiah Davis, etc.) and Big Ten rules permit a team to oversign by one.

By Pat Hickey

Sophomore pitcher Drew Leininger pitched the first complete-game shut-out in IU history since May of 2006, and he got three home runs in support as Indiana (5-8) beat Central Michigan (4-6) by a score of 9-0 on Sunday. Leininger improves to 2-0 on the season, scattering eight hits and no walks in yet another impressive outing for the Hoosiers.

Transcript from last night's press conference

By Jordan Cohen

It's a night late, but here is the transcript from yesterday's press conference following IU's season-ending loss to Northwestern in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament: COACH CREAN (opening statement): I think the story of the game for us was really when we were up six, had six turnovers within four minutes and went down four.
