By Jonathan Hines · Tuesday, Jan. 31,2006 12:28 a.m.

The IU women's tennis team split its doubleheader Sunday, losing its first match of the season to No. 14 Duke 6-1 before rebounding against Ball State 7-0. The No. 32 Hoosiers faced a tough opponent in the Blue Devils, who boast two singles players ranked in the top 30 nationally. Despite the loss, the team members said they felt positive about their performance. "Even though we lost to Duke, we had a lot of close matches," IU's No. 3 singles player Brianna Williams said. "Everybody was in every match and had a chance to win."

Midwest League OKs sale

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 31,2006 12:23 a.m.

MARION, Ill. -- Minor-league baseball's Midwest League agreed Monday to the sale of one of its Indiana teams to a group headed by a prominent Illinois attorney but took no action on the group's possible push to move the club to southern Illinois. The Midwest League's board of directors last month tabled the possible sale of the South Bend Silver Hawks to John Simmons' Chautauqua Heights LLC, saying it needed more details from Simmons and offering him a chance to resubmit his proposal for the Class A team.

Team maintains undefeated record with sweep

By Evan Harris · Tuesday, Jan. 31,2006 12:21 a.m.

The No. 60 IU men's tennis team moved to 4-0 on the season with its second consecutive doubleheader sweep. The Hoosiers won the first ever matchup against fellow in-state school IU-Purdue University Fort Wayne 7-0, and improved to 4-0 all-time against Toledo after Saturday's 6-1 win. "We have had two weekends with two matches, and I feel like it has gotten us into better tennis shape," IU coach Ken Hydinger said. "We have a number of guys that are moving up in the singles lineup from a year ago, and with these matches, I feel like they are becoming more comfortable in those positions."

7 of 11

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Jan. 30,2006 12:55 a.m.

The Badgers have spent more time atop the Big Ten than anyone, but evened the field this weekend when they lost in Michigan. Normally Wisconsin would be considered unbeatable at home, but North Dakota State gave everyone hope when it upset the Badgers in the Kohl Center. Kammron "Chris Rock" Taylor has joined Alando Tucker to provide an ample one-two punch on offense, but the attack has been streaky all season.

With No. 3 Illinois and No. 7 Iowa coming into Bloomington during the weekend, the IU wrestling team knew it was going to face some tough wrestlers.

The Hoosiers began the weekend falling to the Illini 26-6 Friday, then dropped their match against the Hawkeyes Sunday 30-12. In both dual meets, the Hoosiers took early advantages with wins by senior Joe Dubuque.

WEEKLY RANT

IU's game against Minnesota was the most heartless, uninspired and downright despicable performance I have ever witnessed. This team has no guts, no drive, no desire and definitely no heart. Jeremy WebsterSenior

Hoosier tennis teams set for grueling weekend

By Jonathan Hines · Friday, Jan. 27,2006 12:09 a.m.

The popular Internet song, "Peanut Butter Jelly Time," which features a dancing, rapping banana seems like a distracting tune for a tennis match. But not for No. 3 singles player Brianna Williams and the rest of IU's women's tennis team.

By John Wustrow · Friday, Jan. 27,2006 12:04 a.m.

Redshirt freshman Andrae Hernandez has been a reliable starter for the IU wrestling team in the 133-pound division this season, jumping out to a 21-5 record, including a 9-2 record in dual competition. His backup, freshman Angel Escobedo, is a familiar face to him.

Hoosiers take it on the offensive

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Jan. 26,2006 12:50 a.m.

While struggling through a difficult 2004-05 season, the IU women's basketball team finished dead last in the Big Ten in scoring average (51.7 ppg) and field goal percentage (.352 overall). This season, under first year coach Sharon Versyp, the Hoosiers have moved up two spots into the 9-hole in the Big Ten with an average of 62.9 points per game. In comparing the two seasons, the jump in conference ranking might not seem like a major difference, but the increase in points has led to a jump in another important category -- wins. With the season barely past the halfway point, Versyp's Hoosiers have matched their win total from last season, 10, heading into tonight's game against Illinois.
