STORRS, Conn. -- The countdown started after the final game of the 2002 season: 265 days. Now Connecticut is just four days from kicking off a new era in the 40,000-seat Rentschler Field and the players, to put it mildly, are pumped up. "We're actually going to have to try to bring people down on Saturday," senior wide receiver Shaun Feldeisen said Tuesday. "If you get too excited you could lose your head. There's going to be a lot of emotion on the field that day."

Grabavoy still a Hoosier

By Charlie Cunningham · Wednesday, Aug. 27,2003 2:20 a.m.

After trying out over the weekend with Monoco, a member of the French First Division, IU men's soccer player Ned Grabavoy has announced that he will return to the Hoosiers for his junior year. "It was a good experience for me," Grabavoy said in a statement. "I'm focused on Indiana now, and I'm excited to get the season started." Grabavoy was playing for an amateur team in Chicago this summer when Monoco representatives contacted him and offered him a tryout. Grabavoy agreed to work out with the team but was able to keep all of his amateur options open by paying his own expenses. If Grabavoy had agreed to play for Monoco, he would have lost his amateur status and forgone his final two years of eligibility at IU. Coach Jerry Yeagley was happy that Grabavoy decided to stay with IU and likes what Grabavoy brings to his team. "It's the best news of the weekend," Yeagley said in a statement. "Ned is a personality player who brings excitement and flair to the game, both individually and collectively."
