IU fans show support rain or shine

·

A sizeable crowd showed up to support the Hoosiers despite the rain at Bill Armstrong Stadium Sunday. While most of the 1,410 fans were huddling under umbrellas or wearing ponchos, the IU student section, nicknamed "The Superfans," did not let rain hamper its enthusiasm for the Hoosiers.

Washed out

·

A steady downpour at Armstrong Stadium put a damper on the IU men's soccer team as the Hoosiers tied Michigan State 0-0 in the opening game of their Big Ten campaign. The No. 1 Hoosiers moved to 4-0-2 on the season and 0-0-1 in the Big Ten. After a slow start, the Hoosiers had several chances to score, but they could not convert any of their 27 shots during the game.

First serve: IU begins in Cincy

·

The IU men's tennis team is eager to get its season started with the Cincinnati Collegiate Invitational this weekend. But for Cincinnati-native Michael McCarthy, the out-of-state tournament will feel a little more like home. "I guess there's a little added pressure," said McCarthy, whose hometown tennis coach is coordinating the tournament. "I'd like to do well anyway. I want to get good match experience and get going for the season."

Hoosiers at home for only time in decade

·

IU women's golf coach Clint Wallman hopes to keep things rolling into this upcoming weekend's star-studded field in Bloomington for the Lady Northern Invitational. The Hoosiers have shown marked improvement in their first two tournaments, the Notre Dame Invitational and the Mary Fossum Invitational, last weekend at Michigan State, and look to continue their progress at their home course, the IU golf course. The best part for Wallman is that the excitement surrounding the program can come to fruition this weekend.

Hoosiers end home stand with Big Ten debut

·

The IU women's field hockey team wraps up its five-game home stand with a pair of matches against Michigan State University and Lindenwood University this weekend. The No. 11 Hoosiers are 6-1 overall and hope to remain undefeated at Mellencamp Pavilion, where they are 3-0 this year. Although this weekend marks the end of the longest home stand for the Hoosiers, it also marks the beginning of the Big Ten season, as IU welcomes the No. 6 ranked Spartans.

Forget the figures; IU ready to stun No. 3 Penn State

·

There have only been three wins in 12 Big Ten road openers in IU women's soccer history; and so far this season, only one win in four road games. To the casual observer, those numbers might not bode well for the Hoosiers, especially as they travel to State College, Pa., to take on the No. 3 team in the nation, Penn State (8-0). To IU head coach Mick Lyon, those numbers mean nothing.

Hoosiers look to avenge tournament loss to Spartans

Tailgate policy won't be enforced

Half an hour into Saturday's football game, while some students moved off the lawns and into the stands, many stayed behind to continue drinking and throwing beanbags. Many did not have tickets, but despite the new athletics department policy, which prohibits those without tickets to tailgate 10 minutes after kickoff, no one was ejected for defiance of the rule. According to IU Police Department records, about eight people were arrested during tailgating activities, mostly for underage drinking or disorderly conduct. Of those people still outside the stadium before halftime, few had negative comments about the police presence. Some didn't notice a presence at all.
