Forward returns; Hoosiers gain second win

By Zach Rocha · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:49 a.m.

The boys were back together again. For the first time in 2002, IU forwards Pat Noonan and Mike Ambersley started a regular season game on the frontline. Granted, it was not an astonishing debut for the two strikers who both attended the same high school, but the onfield chemistry that was created some five years ago at DeSmet Jesuit High School near St. Louis, Mo. was still visible.

It may not have been pretty, but the IU men's soccer team picked up its second victory Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Louisville. The No. 9 ranked Hoosiers dominated ball control and possession throughout the match, but managed just two goals on the Cardinals' stingy defense. IU (2-1-2) posted 13 shots to Louisville's four and the Hoosiers had eight corner kick opportunities to the Cardinals' one. Louisville (2-3) used physical play to frustrate the Hoosiers' offensive attack as they committed a total of 26 fouls to IU's 15.

'United We Stand'

By John Rodgers · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:47 a.m.

For most Americans, the date Sept. 11 manifests a multitude of feelings. From thoughts of loss and fear to an inspired sense of patriotism and national unity, Americans faced the tragedy and dealt with it in their own way. One year later, coach Amy Robertson and the field hockey team still use the emotions and a motto provoked by Sept. 11 to inspire greater team unity.

For most Americans, Sept. 11 has become a landmark that is vividly cemented in their memories. Just as generations before remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, or what they were doing when the Challenger exploded, people of all generations can clearly recollect what they were doing when the news that the World Trade Center was struck by two planes reached them.

Team seeking scoring options

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:25 a.m.

The IU men's soccer team needs a confidence booster. After being labeled the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, the Hoosiers have had trouble living up to their billing in the first four games of the regular season. IU has gone 1-1-2, scoring just three goals in those four contests, while conceding five. "I am surprised and disappointed at our goal production," coach Jerry Yeagley said. "But we are creating scoring chances. If we weren't creating chances, then we'd have a bigger problem."

Hoosiers defeat Tribe, then shutout by St. Johns' Red Storm

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 9,2002 2:02 a.m.

Early season struggles have plagued the men's soccer team in recent years. After four games, the Hoosiers have sat at 2-2 each of the last three seasons. Some programs might take that record, but for a team often ranked in the preseason top 5 or 10 in the nation, a .500 start is usually disappointing.

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Sept. 6,2002 2:07 a.m.

After relocating the student section this year, IU student football fans found themselves playing musical chairs at last Saturday's game against William and Mary. The student section was moved to the far north end of Memorial Stadium, and the band was moved to the endzone. The goal of the move was to create a better environment for the fans in an effort to make the crowd more enthusiastic, said Assistant Athletic Director Jeff Fanter.
