A fresh outlook

They are new to IU, college volleyball and dorm life, and they are loving every minute of it. Christina Archibald, Stephanie Blevins, Karla Crose and Victoria Zimmerman are the four new freshmen faces this year on the volleyball team.

Hoosiers look back on season

By Ira Klapper · Wednesday, Oct. 31,2001 12:29 a.m.

After Friday night's loss to Purdue eliminated the women's soccer team from a Big Ten postseason berth, the team had a chance to reflect on a season that was memorable. Although IU didn't fulfill their goal of playing in the postseason, the Hoosiers (7-7-1, 3-6-1) did have a productive and enjoyable season.

Senior reciever works way back into lineup

By Nick Bowton · Wednesday, Oct. 31,2001 12:26 a.m.

The best thing that ever happened to Henry Frazier was being told he played like "crap." That's the critique Frazier received after his performance in IU's season opener. Coach Cam Cameron told Frazier, a senior receiver, that he played soft, that he wasn't recruited to play the way he did against North Carolina State, a game in which he dropped several passes. Cameron compounded his critique by sending Frazier from first team to scout team.

The Randle El tour nears end

By Jason Recker · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:38 p.m.

If -- right now -- you think watching IU football is less exciting than watching beer ferment and blood coagulate, you're in for a long, long season next year (when senior Antwaan Randle El will be playing six positions in the NFL and not for the Hoosiers). The Antwaan Randle El Tour has only five more stops, and three of them are in Bloomington. Too bad no one (I'm calling 31,116 people in a 52,000-seat venue "no one") will get to see him. Too bad his Heisman hype fluttered after IU lost five of its first six games. Too bad Randle El is the best player no one (again, 31,116 people at a home game) gets to see.

Weekend trip a success for team

Danish flavor adds to IU field hockey

By Colin Nowling · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:36 p.m.

Making the transition to college is hard enough for most, but for an international student, the changes in culture and lifestyle can be overwhelming. Freshman Claire Loots has tried to ease the adjustment by taking part in one of her homeland activities, joining the IU field hockey squad. Loots came to IU via a program in her native Sint Michielsgestel, just south of Holland in the Netherlands. The program allowed her to apply to five American colleges and then select one to attend. Loots chose IU for the campus' size and diversity, not its field hockey program. Loots didn't contact head coach Amy Robertson until she was already on campus for the fall semester.

Bass team making a splash

By Scott Gierman · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:29 p.m.

It was a cold and windy weekend in eastern Iowa with water surrounding the boats in Coralville Reservoir and rain dropping steadily from the sky during the sixth annual Big Ten Bass Fishing Classic. On Oct. 13, the rainy weather prevented the Hoosiers from catching any bass long enough to qualify. But on Sunday, as the freezing wind continued, sophomore Brian Metzler was able to reel in a large enough fish. It would prove to be the winner.

Outreach provides fun for all

Starting on a high, ending on a low

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 12:53 a.m.

It was a weekend that began with victory and ended in defeat. The volleyball team experienced a win against Iowa Friday that boosted confidence high for Saturday's game against Minnesota, where IU nearly pulled off an upset.

Big Ten media rank Hoosiers 3rd

By Dan Cortez · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 12:47 a.m.

About a year ago to the day, men's basketball coach Mike Davis sat at a table similar to the one he was at Sunday morning. Of course, then he was the Hoosiers' interim men's basketball coach. Sitting in a large ballroom at the Doubletree Hotel-O'Hare Rosemont just outside of Chicago Sunday for the 2001 Big Ten Basketball Media Day, Davis reflected on how things have changed. Now, he is the Hoosiers coach, without the interim.

By Tyler Hoeppner · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 12:45 a.m.

By Colin Nowling · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 12:39 a.m.

Going into Friday's match against No. 9 Ohio State, the women's field hockey team knew they would get the best the Buckeyes had to offer because with a win the Buckeyes would clinch a tie for the regular season Big Ten championship.

Team splits, but misses tourney

By Nate Rau · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 12:36 a.m.

Public address announcer Jeff Smith made the declaration with two minutes remaining in Friday night's women's soccer match. At the time, IU trailed Purdue 1-0. A Northwestern win combined with an IU loss on Friday night would mean the Hoosiers would not advance to the Big Ten tournament, Nov. 8-11 at Purdue.

Team faces Wildcats at home

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 26,2001 2:01 a.m.

The hockey team will face the University of Kentucky in a home-and-home series this weekend, beginning at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Frank Southern Center, 1965 S. Henderson St. The second game will be played at midnight Saturday in Kentucky's Lexington Ice Center.

By Pat Crowell · Friday, Oct. 26,2001 1:57 a.m.

This Sunday in Savoy, Ill., the No. 23 Hoosiers will compete in the Big Ten Cross Country Championships at the University of Illinois golf course. Last season, the men's team finished second, and this year's Hoosiers are looking for a similar performance. The Big Ten's strength in distance running will make this a difficult task.
