Freshman fights injury to play big role for the Hoosiers

By Kim Sturm · Friday, Oct. 20,2000 2:29 a.m.

In baseball, there is always a player that is considered the "utility" player. He's a player that could play any position on the field the coach feels necessary.

Last year Sturm had to fight through an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury that had benched her during her senior year of high school and her freshman year at IU. Despite the injury, she has returned this season to play an extensive amount of roles on the field.

When it comes to team chemistry, the talk often centers around two topics: senior leadership and new talent. And then there's the middle child, constantly seeking attention. Everyone's heard of the sophomore jinx -- the phrase used for second-year players who flounder after a stellar freshman season. Fortunately for this year's men's soccer team, the sophomore jinx is nothing but a myth.

By Andrew Schleunes · Friday, Oct. 20,2000 2:08 a.m.

Mike Tyson's boorish behavior at a recent press conference was quite strange. The former heavyweight champion cut loose with a vulgarity-strewn rant that left officials and the media perplexed as to the result of this Friday's match with Andrew Golota (36-4, 29 KO\'s).

It's 8 a.m. What have you done today? The crew team has been training in the water of Lake Lemon for two hours. To some it might seem crazy, but to the team it is routine. Whichever the case, it's the reason for the success of the women rowers.

Subway Series a disappointment

By Benjy Ekhaus · Friday, Oct. 20,2000 2:01 a.m.

I guess it was inevitable. As eight teams entered the playoffs, everybody knew the two that would eventually be in the World Series. Sure, the San Francisco Giants had the best record in baseball. Sure, the Braves' pitching staff makes them the annual National League favorite. The White Sox were supposed to sneak in, and the Yankees lost seven in a row the week before the playoffs. But did anybody really think that it would end up differently?

By Dan Cortez · Friday, Oct. 20,2000 1:43 a.m.
