The IU club hockey team struggled last weekend against Davenport, losing both games. On Friday, the Panthers dominated the Hoosiers, winning 9-2.

Davenport extends its undefeated season and is now at 13-0. The Hoosiers take its first two losses of the season and now stand at 6-2.

IU field hockey finds confidence amidst defeat

By Nathan Hart · Monday, Oct. 27,2008 12:12 a.m.

Despite an overtime loss against No. 9 Penn State on Friday, the IU field hockey players felt they proved themselves proud by staying close. Junior Lucy Ireland’s broken nose is the evidence. Penn State’s Amy Bonenberger scored the game’s lone goal on a breakaway in the first minute of overtime to give the Nittany Lions their eighth consecutive win. The defensive game often led to scrappy play by both teams. In the second half, a Penn State forward smashed her head into Ireland’s face, breaking her nose.

IU volleyball sweeps northern road trip

Monday, Oct. 27,2008 12:10 a.m.

All the IU volleyball team needed to win was a little time away from home. IU headed into this weekend’s road trip sporting a 2-6 Big Ten record. Even tougher for the Hoosiers was the fact they had played six of their first eight matches at home and faced the prospect of many road games remaining as a result. IU responded to the challenge this weekend, knocking off Northwestern 3-2 on Friday and upsetting No. 21 Wisconsin 3-1 on Sunday. The victory against Wisconsin was the Hoosiers’ first in their last 12 tries against the Badgers and the first in Madison since 1995.

The IU men’s swimming and diving team won its second straight dual meet to open its season on Friday, defeating Northwestern 158-129 at the Councilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center. “I thought our guys stepped up and swam hard again,” IU swimming coach Ray Looze said. “I thought the men reacted well. Hopefully we have some momentum ready.”

Despite wins, IU women's soccer just misses tournament

By Brandon Smith · Monday, Oct. 27,2008 12:04 a.m.

The IU women’s soccer team’s final weekend is probably best described as bittersweet. IU came into the weekend needing two wins and some help to make the Big Ten Tournament in two weeks in Iowa City, Iowa. The Hoosiers (8-10-1, 3-6-1) did their part, winning both games over Michigan State and Michigan, each 1-0. But because Illinois defeated Ohio State on Sunday, the Hoosiers will not play in the conference tournament.

Hoosiers poised for upsets this season

By Zachary Osterman · Monday, Oct. 27,2008 12:01 a.m.

Call it the first honest look at IU basketball – the first time Tom Crean was forced to turn over his cards and prove what kind of poker player he’s been the last seven months. He underbet his hand.

From the stands at Memorial Stadium earlier this season, sophomore quarterback Ben Chappell might not have appeared to be the leader the IU football team needed. But in the huddle, in the locker room and on the turf at the Rock on Saturday, Chappell blossomed before fans’ eyes. Forced into the starting role after Kellen Lewis suffered an ankle injury against Iowa two weeks ago, Chappell struggled in his first start at Illinois.

Hoosiers show progress in scrimmage

By Matt Dollinger · Sunday, Oct. 26,2008 11:56 p.m.

It wasn’t always clear if the football team would prevail Saturday, but there was never any doubt the basketball team would come out atop its intrasquad scrimmage. In a game quicker and more competitive than last week’s Hoosier Hysteria exhibition, the Hoosiers showed what they had learned in their first full week of practice in a 40-minute scrimmage in front of about 5,000 fans in Assembly Hall. Led by freshman guard Verdell Jones, the Cream team edged out the Crimson squad in the closing minutes, 91-86. Jones finished with a game-high 30 points, while freshman guard Nick Williams led the Crimson team with 28.

Members of the Cutters football team warm up at the beginning of practice Thursday night at Brown Elementary School in Bloomington. The Cutters are a semi-professional football team with several former IU players competing in the Interstate Football League, a league with teams from Indiana and Ohio.

Passion for the game

By Zachary Osterman · Sunday, Oct. 26,2008 11:54 p.m.

They come slowly, piece by piece, trickling off the gravel drive and onto the grass parking lot around 6:30, just as the sun touches the southern Indiana leaves, colored by fall. Easing out of their cars, they laugh, enjoy a beer, catch up on the week that was. This is a release point, when they can slow life down and let the game take over. They come from all manner of careers – accountants mix with blue-collar workers mix with IU students. Some have no jobs at all. “That’s the unusual thing about semi-pro football,” head coach Brent Slinkard says. “You’re getting a host of age groups and a host of different backgrounds and educations all coming together for one thing that we all have in common – it’s just passion for the game.” They come every Tuesday and Thursday night to the green and brown field behind Brown Elementary School, white helmets and mish-mash practice gear in tow. They come to play football. They are the Indiana Cutters, a semi-professional football team based out of Bloomington that competes across the state and sometimes into Ohio. Their cobblestone roster boasts the likes of former IU wideout Jahkeen Gilmore and Lee Becton, the only Notre Dame running back ever to tally seven straight 100-yard games and the Irish’s 12th all-time leading rusher. Anywhere between 60 and 65 men from college age on up call themselves Cutters, as they have since conditioning began in January and practices started in March.
