Close, so close. The IU field hockey team (2-8) will use those words for motivation as they prepare to face No. 20 Ohio State Saturday following their heartbreaking, 2-1 double overtime loss to No. 9 Louisville Wednesday. Although the loss to the Cardinals was discouraging, coach Amy Robertson said there were many positives she hopes will carry over to Saturday's contest with the Buckeyes.

Defense comes up big again in fifth road win

·

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."

Hoosiers shut out Bulldogs

·

INDIANAPOLIS --Throughout Indiana's storied 30-year soccer history, the Hoosiers have put up some impressive records, including a 46-game unbeaten streak in 1983 and 1984 and a reigning streak of five consecutive College Cup appearances.

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.
