Hoosiers hopeful of earning No. 1 seed in Big Ten tournament heading into last conference game

By Aarno Retherford and Aaron Retherford · Monday, Oct. 14,2002 1:29 a.m.

The IU men's soccer team capped a three-game homestand Sunday with a pair of wins against Big Ten rivals Wisconsin and Northwestern. The wins increased the Hoosiers' Big Ten regular season win streak to 35 games heading into its final conference game against Ohio State (8-3-0, 2-0-0 in Big Ten), and could possibly decide the number one seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Ohio State must travel to Michigan and Northwestern to finish out its conference schedule after facing IU. The Hoosiers have outscored conference foes 15-3, and sophomore goalkeeper Jay Nolly has notched two of his seven shutouts against Big Ten opponents. IU (10-1-2, 5-0-0 in Big Ten) entered this weekend's games in very good position to take the conference crown riding sophomore Ned Grabavoy's hot streak and the defense's stifling play, but IU's season took a sudden turn for the worse before the Northwestern game. Sophomore Danny O'Rourke collided with a teammate during pregame warm-ups, fracturing his jaw in two places, leaving a huge void in the backfield. "He's been so crucial to the whole team," coach Jerry Yeagley. "He provides energy to everyone. We'll be a completely different team without Danny."

Pair of weekend wins helps Hoosiers

By Colin Nowling · Monday, Oct. 14,2002 1:28 a.m.

In perhaps its biggest weekend of soccer this season, the IU men's soccer team came up big with a pair of victories over Wisconsin and Northwestern. The two victories extended IU's Big Ten conference game winning streak to 35 and put them in position to once again claim the bye for the first round of the Big Ten soccer tournament. The No. 4 ranked Hoosiers routed Wisconsin (7-5, 1-2 Big Ten) 5-1 Friday night to extend IU's winning streak over the Badgers to eight. IU (10-1-2, 5-0) downed Northwestern (5-7, 0-3) 1-0 Sunday as IU is now 19-0 all-time against the Wildcats.

New-look Hoosiers debut at Midnight Madness

By Janie McCauley · Monday, Oct. 14,2002 1:26 a.m.

Whether it was being introduced in front of a vivacious crowd, competing in one of the various events or judging the men's slam dunk contest, the women's basketball team was rewarded at Midnight Madness Saturday morning for all of the hard work they have put in during individual workouts the past month. "To see all the people, it's amazing," coach Kathi Bennett said. The players were looking to feed off the energy the crowd provided and their goal was to have the best time they could. Junior Jamie Gathing said she wasn't nervous about the crowd. Instead, she said she was excited just to be a part of the event. "Last year ended on a really good note so I'm excited to come back and let people know we're here," Gathing said. "My freshman year we weren't included. Midnight Madness is so much better than it used to be years ago." Before Midnight Madness, senior Jill Hartman said a woman player needed to win the three-point shootout this year. Freshman Cyndi Valentin delivered. She won the shootout by knocking down 12 three-pointers in 45 seconds. It was a basket at the buzzer that clenched her win over sophomore Ryan Tapak. Valentin forced a playoff in the finals after she connected on her last four shots. The women's bench cheered louder after each Valentin three went through the net, as she defeated the defending three-point champion.

New-look Hoosiers debut at Midnight Madness

By Janie McCauley · Monday, Oct. 14,2002 1:23 a.m.

Assembly Hall sounded like a New York City street on New Year's Eve Friday night. When the countdown clock hit two minutes before the official start of the IU basketball season, it was like Dick Clark and his ball were at center court. With the more than 10,000 fans filling both sides of the stadium, the basketball-crazy students, faculty and public went wild at the first sight of their NCAA runner-up men's team and the Big Ten tournament champions women's team at the 2002 Midnight Madness. "We kept peeking out, looking up and seeing how many people were here," freshman guard Bracey Wright said. "Then they darkened the lights, and everybody started screaming. When they called my name, I ran out, and the place went wild. It was great." One-by-one, each member of both the men's and women's squad got their place under that single spotlight. Following the introductions, the competitions that mark the first "practice" kicked off.

Hamdam's heroics help team score last 22 points of the game

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Oct. 14,2002 1:17 a.m.

Sometimes, football's greatest performances come in unexpected packages. The greatest comeback in football history, a playoff rally from a 35-3 deficit, was led by a backup quarterback, Frank Reich of the Buffalo Bills. For IU, a great performance blossomed in the form of senior quarterback Gibran Hamdan, who went from a backup on opening day to a hero Saturday. In just his fourth career start as quarterback, Hamdan proved his mettle as a comeback artist, leading IU back from a 19-point deficit to stun No. 23 Wisconsin, 32-29. The victory represents the Hoosiers' biggest comeback since they erased a 21-point deficit against Illinois in 1999. It was also the third-largest comeback in school history. Hamdan put up career-highs in every statistical category, completing 24 of 36 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns. It was the first 300-yard passing performance by an IU quarterback since Antwaan Randle El threw for 329 yards against Purdue in 1999.

Field hockey falls to Michigan State

By Aaron Beard and John Rodgers · Sunday, Oct. 13,2002 11:49 p.m.

A second half scoring frenzy propelled the No. 5 Michigan State Spartans to a 5-1 victory over the IU field hockey team (3-9, 1-2 Big Ten) Saturday. The Spartans (12-2, 2-1 Big Ten) tallied all five of their goals in the second half, including three in the final nine minutes of regulation. Despite the final score, the Hoosiers stayed close for much of the game with the more experienced and talented Spartans.

The storm has subsided. After losing four straight games against Big Ten opponents, the Hoosier volleyball team has lurched back to life with an upset win against the No. 15 ranked Wisconsin Badgers Saturday. But, Saturday's win came with a price as the Hoosiers fell to the unranked Northwestern Wildcats just 24 hours earlier.

NCAA hire bolsters academics

By Alyson Brodsy and Katie Schoenbaechler · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 1:36 p.m.

Last year, IU President Myles Brand wrote a guest editorial for the NCAA about the need to slow down the "arms race" in college athletic departments. Apparently they liked what he wrote. Brand, now the president-elect of the NCAA, criticized big time athletics and called for "academics before athletics." The message the NCAA sent in luring Brand from higher education is that they agree.

The 2002 Hoosier volleyball season began with spectacular results as the team bolted out to an 11-2 record.

IU faces off against No. 5 Michigan State

By John Rodgers · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3:08 a.m.

Some games just mean more than others. And that will surely be the case for the field hockey team (3-8) on Saturday against the No. 5 ranked Michigan State Spartans (11-2) in East Lansing. Last season against the Spartans the Hoosiers jumped out to a 2-0 lead and held it until the Spartans evened the tally at 2-2 with just over two minutes remaining. The contest went into overtime, and Michigan State scored in double overtime to win 3-2.

Bloodthirsty Badgers burst into Bloomington

By Alex Hickey · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3:03 a.m.

Last year, the Hoosiers walked into Camp Randall Stadium and handed Wisconsin the beating of a lifetime. The Badgers allowed a school-record 63 points to IU, and surrendered 631 yards of total offense in the process. Certainly coach Barry Alvarez's team could not forget a loss like that. They would have to be coming into Memorial Stadium with a Sheboygan-sized chip on their shoulder, right?
