The Hoosiers look to build upon a 1-2 road record this season, but said they know things will not come easy against the fast-paced Wolverines.

Defense comes up big again in fifth road win

By Alyson Brodsy and Aaron Retherford · Friday, Oct. 4,2002 4:21 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Thursday night's game between No. 4 IU and Butler was the epitome of an in-state grudge match. Records did not mean anything going into this game, and it was clear from the beginning that the Bulldogs did not care that the Hoosiers are one of the nation's best. IU (7-1-2) survived Butler's (3-5-1) physical play winning 2-0 in the final match of a five-game road trip. "It was one of our best performances," coach Jerry Yeagley said. "The first half was almost clinical. The score did not indicate the quality of play we had offensively."

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 4,2002 4:13 p.m.

NEW YORK -- Martha Stewart, under federal investigation on suspicion of insider trading, resigned Thursday from the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange.

Earlier in the day, she sent a letter of resignation to NYSE chairman and chief executive Dick Grasso before the exchange's board meeting.
