By Andrew Rosen · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 1:07 a.m.

The IU women's field hockey team enters this weekend's Big Ten tournament with its best record in school history, 8-9.

By Charlie Cunningham and Charlie Gillingham · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12:58 a.m.

IU junior Jeff Overton did not win a golf tournament in his first two years as a member of the IU men's golf team. But the coaching staff still saw potential in the quiet Evansville, Ind., native. This fall, Overton lived up to that potential when he won all four tournaments the Hoosiers participated in earning a great deal of attention, including the No. 1 ranking in the country. It seemed every tournament in which Overton teed up, he broke some kind of record. At the Northern Intercollegiate, Overton tied his career 36-hole low score of 136 en route to his first collegiate victory. Next at the Hoosier Invitational Sept. 27-28, he finished with a 10-under-par 203 -- a school record for 54 holes.
