1st Big Ten win comes vs. No. 25 Illinois for women's soccer team

By Brandon Smith · Monday, Oct. 20,2008 12:24 a.m.

It took four scrappy, heartbreaking weekends, but the IU women’s soccer team was finally able to pick up important Big Ten Conference points. Coming into the weekend 0-6 in conference play, the Hoosiers had received zero points. After this weekend’s play, the Hoosiers (6-10-1, 1-6-1) now have four points after tying conference leader Purdue on Friday night 1-1 and getting their first conference win Sunday afternoon, defeating No 25. Illinois 1-0. “We told them destiny is in their own hands, and they need to start getting points and winning games,” IU coach Mick Lyon said. “There are no passionate rah-rah speeches from the coaches. It’s turned over to them.”

Time to change up the approach

By Dave Leno · Monday, Oct. 20,2008 12:21 a.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — IU coach Bill Lynch said it, as he so often has. “We put together little drives, but we didn’t finish anything,” Lynch said after his team’s 55-13 loss to Illinois on Saturday night. “We give up way too many big plays. Teams have really done a good job taking away our big plays.” Try this – snag some pages from Illinois coach Ron Zook’s playbook, because, boy, that guy knows how to conduct a productive offense. And with IU’s season becoming sickening to watch, now would be an appropriate time.

The split screen

By Jordan Zaslow · Sunday, Oct. 19,2008 10:28 p.m.

During the most recent presidential debate, viewers across the nation might have felt as though they were seated in the audience of a dramatic theatrical performance. I came away with the impression that neither candidate should quit his day job. Acting is not either man’s strong suit. Networks that aired the debate managed to capture the essence of both of these amateur actors via split screen. This allowed us, the voters, to sit at home and watch the candidates’ failed attempts to mug their way to the White House.
