By Aaron Beard · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU field hockey team went into the 2001 Big Ten Tournament with hopes of pulling an upset of No. 2 seed Ohio State, but the Buckeyes jumped on the freshmen and sophomore laden Hoosier squad with a goal less than five minutes into the match.

Disappointment

By David Uchiyama · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

CHICAGO -- The men's basketball team faced a bittersweet disappointment in the Big Ten tournament March 11. After having won one game in three years at the tournament, the Hoosiers advanced to the championship game. But they lost to Iowa in that game. Barely.

Yeagley gets 500th victory

By Matt Pera · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Jerry Yeagley can usually expect to remain dry after a regular season victory over the Butler Bulldogs. It's really no big deal; Butler hasn't even scored a goal against the Hoosiers since 1996.

Defensive changes help Hoosiers

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Cam Cameron waited until Wednesday to implement a handful of defensive changes for Saturday's match-up with defending Big Ten champion Northwestern. His late change of heart proved to be perfect timing. Perfect as in two interceptions, two fumbles and IU's second win -- a 56-21 thumping of the Wildcats -- of the season in front of 26,213 at Memorial Stadium.

Recker scores winning points

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - For those IU fans who aren't fond of Luke Recker, this one wasn't easy to swallow. And it won't be for a long, long time.

Women open against Bearcats

By Alyson Brodsy and Nate Rau · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Tonight's season opener with Cincinnati at Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis is important for the women's soccer team for two reasons. First, there's a measure of revenge involved for the Hoosiers who lost last year to the Bearcats on an own-goal in the 54th minute.

Trike race offers excitement, but not seriousness

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

For those who wanted to be Little 500 riders but didn't want to put in the time, there's the Mini 500. The Mini 500 is the tricycle race tonight that brings together the seriousness of the actual race, with the humor of crazy costume designs and team presentations.

Hockey team looks for National Championship

By Michael Sherman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Hoosier center Brandon Phillips doesn't scare anyone with his size. At 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, the senior isn't the most imposing player on the ice, and more than a few opponents have watched him during the pre-game skate and anticipated the chance to squash him against the boards. But any opponent who has ever felt the impact of Phillips’ check knows better.

Weekend marred by Big Ten sweeps

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU softball team dropped four games in conference action this past weekend as it played host to No. 13 Michigan and Michigan State. Michigan (27-7, 5-1 Big Ten) swept IU (9-19-1, 0-8) in two games Friday and Saturday. Michigan State (18-21, 3-3) also swept the Hoosiers in their doubleheader Sunday.

The East Lansing Curse

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Wisconsin snapped the Breslin Center curse. Illinois walked all over it. IU is yet to figure it out. The Badgers ended Michigan State's nation-long, 53-game home winning streak in the final seconds Jan. 12. The Spartans won three in a row in East Lansing before the Fighting Illini squeaked out a two-point win Feb. 12. Now, No. 23 IU has the chance to hand Michigan State its third home loss of the season at 1 p.m. Sunday in the often-rugged, never-nice Breslin Center. One problem -- for IU, the curse is still in place. The Hoosiers (18-8, 10-3 Big Ten) haven't won in the Breslin Center since Feb. 28, 1991, a span of eight losses. IU is 2-9 all-time in the Breslin Center since the arena opened in 1989.

Pitching staff struggles during weekend as Hoosiers win 1, lose 2 against Nittany Lions

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Penn State ripped apart the Hoosiers' fragile pitching staff in two days at Sembower Field. The final tally of the wreckage during the three-game Big Ten series included 24 allowed runs, eight pitchers and a starter lost to an elbow injury. Two losses sandwiched a 6-3 IU win with bright performances from pitchers senior Nick Otte and freshman Adam Pegg, but the overall weekend magnified the Hoosiers' continuing pitching woes. Starter Brad Edwards was tagged for six earned runs in Friday's 14-4 loss.

Team reloads with talent over summer

By Ryan Pretzer and Ryan W. Pretzer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Both of your captains have graduated. So have five of your point leaders. And it's your first year on the job. This is the predicament of Adam Schuchman, first-year general manager of the IU ice hockey team. The Hoosiers reached the 2002 National semifinals in March, but will be a much different team when Schuchman holds tryouts in September.

Four wrestlers move on to Nationals

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This weekend is what the Hoosier wrestling team has been working toward all season. Four wrestlers will travel to Albany, NY to participate in the NCAA Championships this Thursday. For one person, it's his last shot at the national title he covets. For another, it's his first championship. For the other two, it's their chance for redemption and to improve on last year's results.

Exorcised

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Chances are, you didn't think this could happen. IU beat defending national champion and top-ranked Duke? No way. You were correct until less than a minute remained in Thursday night's South Regional semifinal in Rupp Arena. But, all those brackets with Duke marching straight to the Final Four took a big hit, thanks to an inspirational comeback that took the Hoosiers the entire second half to complete. It was the comeback that wouldn't quit. On a team that wouldn't fold, either.

After slow start, Purdue hits stride

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This season has been rough for Gene Keady and his Purdue Boilermakers. Trying to fight through the Big Ten without much defense, Keady has been left feeling a little under the weather. "These games lately, my chest has been hurting," Keady said. "January and February can get long. Thank goodness the weather's been nice." Sun began to shine for the Boilermakers (11-11, 3-5 Big Ten) last week when they had two victories, beating Northwestern and Iowa. The wins took Purdue back toward the middle of the Big Ten standings after opening the conference season with five losses in six games.

Reddick and Wilson top conference

By Pat Crowell · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU has one of the best triple jumpers in the Big Ten in Hassan Reddick. The junior finished second in both the indoor and outdoor Big Ten Championships and earned a provisional to the NCAA championship last season. This season, Reddick has improved but faces stiffer competition. Fellow teammate freshman Aarik Wilson could possibly be the toughest he finds. "This year the Big Ten is probably the best it has ever been in the triple jump, but these two should vie for the Big Ten championship," coach Marshall Goss said.

Three-headed monster solves MSU's Taylor

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - Senior Dane Fife submitted his request to guard Michigan State's Marcus Taylor early this week. Friday in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament in Conseco Fieldhouse, he got his wish. Then split the duties three ways. Fife, with help from junior Tom Coverdale and freshman Donald Perry, hounded Taylor, the Big Ten's leading scorer and top assist man, all afternoon as No. 21 and fourth-seeded IU (20-10) won 67-56 over the fifth-seeded Spartans (19-11). Taylor scored a game-high 20 points but was just 8 of 18 from the field and committed six turnovers with only two assists.
