Hoosiers set to begin tourney play following 1st-round bye

By Jeff Fuldauer · Friday, April 30,2004 1:18 a.m.

The first step toward IU's run at a Big Ten Tournament championship begins today as the second seeded women's tennis team (17-6, 9-1 Big Ten) battles No. 7 seeded Iowa at 2 p.m. The Hoosiers, who have not won a Big Ten championship since 1998, meet the Hawkeyes after enjoying a first round bye for their conference-leading regular season record. One year ago, IU was staggering toward the end of a 9-17 record and faced a tough first round match-up against powerhouse Michigan. This year, after sharing a piece of the conference regular season title, IU returns in a more familiar position -- as the favorite.

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, April 29,2004 1:59 a.m.

Out of more than 130 Little 500 riders, sophomore Hans Arnesen is one of the best, according to professional cyclist Jonathan Vaughters. After serving as Grand Marshal at the 54th Little 500 Sunday, Vaughters, a former top-ranked U.S. cyclist and six-time Tour de France participant, chose Alpha Tau Omega rider Arnesen as the first recipient of the Little 500 "Most Valuable Rider" award. "It is quite an honor," Arnesen said of winning the award. "To be put up and looked upon with all the other riders and to know I won the award over all those good riders is pretty honorable." According to Vaughters, the award recipient was the most outstanding rider of the day.

Relearning your ABCs

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Thursday, April 29,2004 12:29 a.m.

You know of the Lakers, the Cowboys and the New York Yankees, but I'd like to tell you about another team, a bunch of misfits and nerds who would forever change the landscape of sports. Trailing by four runs entering the last half-inning, the Sweaty ABC's softball team needed at least a tie to make the playoffs. Three runs or less and its season would come crashing down. What happened?

Hoosiers face Wildcats

By Mark Carlson · Wednesday, April 28,2004 12:35 a.m.

At the core of every great team is veteran leadership. This year's IU softball team is no different, with four seniors guiding the Hoosiers to a surprisingly successful season. As IU (28-27, 4-10 Big Ten) rolls into Lexington to play Kentucky (24-27-1), the Hoosier seniors have all played different roles in the team's success. Senior Karly McCormack leads with her performance rather than with vocal leadership. The same is true of fellow senior Abby Stark.

Big Ten co-champs head into tourney

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, April 28,2004 12:34 a.m.

As if winning his 600th career match wasn't enough to solidify IU coach Lin Loring as the nation's top tennis coach, the remarkable turnaround the women's tennis team has experienced this season speaks volumes about one of the most successful sports programs at IU. Almost every aspect of the program, in comparison to the 2003 season, seems like Superman's bizzaro world, as the Hoosiers fought their way to IU's most successful season in six years. Most notably, in less than 12 months the Hoosiers rebounded from a season spent as the doormat of the Big Ten to a force to be reckoned with on the national stage.

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Tuesday, April 27,2004 12:57 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Forget major changes. Bill Polian and Tony Dungy figured all the Indianapolis Colts needed for a Super Bowl run was a little fine-tuning. Just add some more speed, a little depth and a new infusion of young talent.

Pardon my French

I love french fries, but I despise the French. I crave french toast, but can't stand the French. I hanker for french dressing, but again spurn the French. So how can I demonstrate my true feelings for a country without abandoning my favorite French- name products?

By Alyson Brodsy and Beth Harris · Tuesday, April 27,2004 12:55 a.m.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Kristin Mulhall acts as if the Kentucky Derby is just another race. She isn't fooling anyone. The 21-year-old Californian really is cool and calm about having a legitimate chance at becoming the first female trainer to win the Derby. She will saddle Imperialism against such veterans as Bob Baffert, Bobby Frankel and Nick Zito.

Made for a movie

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Monday, April 26,2004 4:38 p.m.

Complete Men's Results For a storybook ending it sure had a lot of bumps along the way. The 2004 men's Little 500 was the year of the Cutter, and it ended that way, with the team's seventh win -- but it wasn't easy for anyone involved. More than seven teams traded leading positions throughout the race, but as lap 199 set in, sprinting to the finish was the only option left. The last two teams standing, Alpha Tau Omega and the Cutters, took the track's fourth turn almost side by side. As both teams crossed the finish line, ATO fans began to celebrate -- but moments too soon.

The No. 10 Hoosier women's water polo squad wrapped up a third consecutive 20-win season this past weekend but, unfortunately, fell short of defending its CWPA Conference championship. However, IU took third place in Lewisburg, Penn., as it defeated No. 20 Brown 9-4 Sunday afternoon and finished the season with a 20-10 record. The third-seeded Cream and Crimson hit the water against George Washington in the CWPA quarterfinals Saturday morning after a first-round bye.

Tillman an over-achiever who lived life to its fullest TEMPE, Ariz. -- Pat Tillman overachieved in football, and just about everything else. Too slow to be a great safety, too small for an NFL linebacker, he got by on toughness, effort and brains.
