For freshman Kelly Lawrence, football was a way of life growing up. "I played football since I was 5 years old," Lawrence said. "As soon as I touched the ball, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I just kept on playing for the love of the game, and it's just gone from there."
Mick Lyon has a recipe for scoring goals. "You start with talent," the IU women's soccer coach says. "You've got to have talented players to score goals. There's no doubt about it. And then that talent has to be fit and motivated. And I think you put those three things together, and that's what we have this year that we didn't have last year."
The IU men's soccer team is the favorite to win the Big Ten conference title, according to the league's coaches.

Booze is a funny thing. It betrays us, makes us sick and induces reckless behavior. We drunk dial, we go home with boys we shouldn't, we spend money we don't have on cab fares and bar tabs and we dance all night in uncomfortable shoes (inevitably causing blisters to be dealt with the next morning alongside hangovers). For these things, I blame alcohol.

The annual Hoosier Daddy, a regatta staged each fall by the IU sailing club, will not take place this year as scheduled because the new student leaders did not file a request in time, team officials said. Confusion surrounding the invitational is the latest struggle facing the club under the helm of senior and IU Sailing Club president Carl Salzmann, a three-month member of the organization. The group's faculty adviser Robert Kessler said the event, which traditionally spans a mid-October weekend, was canceled when the club did not file required paperwork with IU Recreational Sports. Salzmann said he was not aware that such a procedure was necessary until it was too late to formalize the event, which the club and regional competitors in the Midwest Collegiate Sailing Association thought was in place for Oct. 14 and 15.
