Team finishes strong

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, Oct. 25,2001 1:25 a.m.

Men's golf coach Mike Mayer said he had a feeling that a more experienced lineup was what the Hoosiers needed to break through at the 24-team Tillinghast at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y. Mayer's hunch paid off as the Hoosiers placed seventh in the 24-team field. "With the lineup that we brought, we got quite a bit out of this tournament," Mayer said. The Hoosiers finished the 36-hole tournament with a total score of 596, putting them 19 strokes behind tournament champion Illinois. IU finished three strokes behind Maryland, the 39th ranked team in the nation, according to Golfweek magazine. The Hoosiers overwhelmed 45th ranked Navy by 22 shots.

Walk-ons provide balance

By Ira Klapper · Thursday, Oct. 25,2001 1:23 a.m.

The women's soccer team has recruited many of the best players in the country. But because the roster has 29 players, and the Hoosiers are only allowed 12 scholarships, most of the team is filled by walk-ons. And coach Joe Kelley has landed three walk-ons who are making an impact on the team. Junior Dana Philp is a back and midfielder. She is one of the team's leaders and a key component to a Hoosier team that has surpassed last year's win total already. Philp has started every game this year, and a total of 40 games in her collegiate career.
