Ice Hockey begins season

·

The IU ice hockey team will face off Friday and Saturday against the University of Dayton Flyers in the first regular-season matchup of the year. For the past eight seasons, IU has made it to the ACHA final four. This year's team is hoping that this series is the beginning to another successful season. "We're really anxious to see what happens on the ice, and have a little fun, too," forward Tom Orr said. "It's what we've worked for the last month or two." Dayton comes to Bloomington to resume a rivalry that started when both teams were members of the now-extinct MCHL. Dayton is the only former MCHL team that IU has kept on its schedule since joining the Great Midwestern Hockey League in 2001. IU holds the series edge 27-3-1.

Lineman bolsters offense

·

IU fans tend to remember the exploits of the two members of the 2001 all-Big Ten team that graduated last season. After all, Antwaan Randle El and Levron Williams combined to form a nightmare for any defensive coordinator or scoreboard operator, with Williams leading the conference in scoring and Randle El taking the Silver Football for Conference Player of the Year honors.

Trips to Iowa, Illinois to prove conference potential

·

Ever since last year's disappointment of missing the Big Ten Tournament by the slimmest of margins, the IU women's soccer team has preached the importance of getting to the post-season this year. After tonight's game in Iowa City and Sunday's game in Champaign, Ill., they might have done enough to earn a trip to East Lansing, Mich., where the Big Ten Tournament will be held in three weeks, and the Hoosiers are looking to solidify their chances of competing in it.

IU has chance to clinch top seed

·

IU has a chance to clinch the No. 1 seed of the Big Ten Tournament outright with a win or tie Sunday. But it won't be easy against a hungry Ohio State team that is coming off a 1-0 heartbreaking loss to Penn State and a 3-0 drubbing of Oakland. The Hoosiers (11-1-2, 5-0-0 in Big Ten) are riding a ten-game winning streak, but the Buckeyes (9-4-0, 2-1-0 in Big Ten) are going to try to get back on track after Penn State ended their six-game winning streak.

All guts and no glory for revamped Hoosier defense

·

New to IU this season, women's soccer coach Mick Lyon inherited a unknown defense. Lyon said he knew changes would have to be made in order to remedy an ailing squad that ranked last in Big Ten conference play in both shutouts and goals allowed in 2001. "During preseason, and the first couple of games, I thought we would be an absolute liability at the back," Lyon said. "I knew it was going to be a personal task to put some semblance of good defense together." Fortunately for the Hoosiers, Lyon's teaching worked and IU has improved to fifth in the Big Ten in both goals allowed and shutouts.The team said they felt that during their game against Michigan State the defense finally clicked in the 1-0 shutout. It marked the team's fifth shutout of the season.

Tennis serves as family tradition

·

Playing for the IU men's tennis team is a family tradition for senior Zach Held. Both of Held's older brothers played tennis at IU; the oldest played here 12 years ago. But, it wasn't always that clear-cut of a choice for Held, as he opted to go to the University of Michigan for his freshman year before transferring.

Newcomer adjusts to college game quickly

·

The vast majority of freshman golfers take a redshirt year during their first year at IU. A redshirt allows the athlete to sit out a season to become acclimated with the differences between high school and collegiate playing levels. It's rare to have a true freshman play and contribute to the team's scores. Freshman Molly Redfearn has become the exception to this unwritten rule.
