Defense leads to 3-0 shutout over Butler

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

With a 3-0 win against Butler last night at Bill Armstrong Stadium, Jerry Yeagley became the second coach in NCAA Division I history to record 500 wins. IU came out of the gates controlling the ball and overpowering Butler. After a couple of diving saves by Butler goalie Barrie Grant, IU finally broke through. At the 18:41 mark, senior Tyler Hawley threw the ball into the box, skimming off the head of junior Pat Noonan, and ricocheted off the foot of freshman Mike Ambersley for his second goal of the season.

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A mess of tricycles, costumes and loud music converged in Assembly Hall Thursday night as the Mini 500 kicked off Little 500 weekend.

Volleyball team earns first Big Ten win against Iowa

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU's loss to Minnesota's volleyball team Friday didn't stop them from beating Iowa Saturday night. The Hoosiers now stand at 4-9 in the season and 1-5 in the Big Ten. IU fell to Minnesota Friday in three games. With 15 kills, freshman Karla Crose led the Hoosiers, and sophomore Melissa Brewer helped out with 13 kills. Junior Laurie Gardner returned after recovering from a shoulder injury earlier in the week. Even with the help of Gardner being back and the skills of Crose and Brewer, IU managed to have 29 hitting errors on their side.

Hoosiers blow past Utah

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - IU coach Mike Davis admitted it after the game Thursday night. Truth be told, he didn't have to wait that long to divulge his secret. It was obvious to his players that Davis was nervous before the Hoosiers took on Utah Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Arco Arena in Sacramento. "I was so tight it was unbelievable," Davis said with a laugh. "(junior Tom) Coverdale walked over to me today during the shoot around and said, 'Coach, just relax, we're going to win.' I was wound up so, so tight because this game, this game was so important for Indiana basketball, for me, for ourselves and for our team." With so much on the line, Davis was justifiably nervous. But after the Hoosiers whipped Utah, 75-56, Coverdale appeared to know what he was talking about heading into the game.

Notre Dame comes to IU on 7 game winning streak

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Mike Brey has gone seven games and hasn't needed to call a 30-second timeout yet. No momentum swings for the opponents. No scoring runs that have put Notre Dame in danger of losing. No games closer than 13 points. Brey, the second-year Fighting Irish coach, is confident but fears that all might change tonight when Notre Dame meets IU at 7 p.m. tonight in Assembly Hall. It will be the home opener for IU (4-2) and the first true road test for the Irish (7-0). In its only other road game, Notre Dame wiped out DePaul 82-55. "I'm counting on our experience to help us in that atmosphere and set the tone," Brey said. "Our experience can keep us pretty steady."

Hoosiers back home and rolling

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

STATE COLLEGE, PA -- Mike Davis had one wish. Before IU set out on its three-game road swing that ended Wednesday in Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center, IU's coach wanted two road wins. He got his wish, and the Hoosiers return Saturday to Assembly Hall, where they will play five of their next six, including four of their next five Big Ten games. IU (12-6, 5-1 Big Ten) pounded Penn State (5-12, 1-5) 85-51, marking the first time since the 1992-1993 season the Hoosiers have recorded three Big Ten road victories before February. "Ideally, we wanted to come out of this road trip (winning) one of three, and we get two of three," Davis said. "Now we have three road wins in the Big Ten, which is good."

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU men's tennis team (2-0) used a team effort to defeat Toledo and Bowling Green last Saturday to win its first two matches of the spring season.

The Cardinals defeated Illinois State and Northern Iowa last Saturday.

Solid play in Florida follows slow start

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Spring break began in nightmarish fashion for the men's golf team, and its problems had nothing to do with sketchy travel agents or missed flights. The team had one of its poorest showings of the year, limping to a 14th place finish in the 16-team Big Red Classic, an event of which the Hoosiers were co-host.

By Katie Schoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

While many IU students were taking spring break as a week to sit back and relax, the students that are training to ride in the Little 500 were hard at work.

Winning streak provides No. 1 position

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The men's soccer team heads to Madison ,Wis., this weekend as the No. 1 seed in the 2001 Big Ten Tournament. Matches begin today and conclude with the championship game at 2 p.m. Sunday. IU hopes to get back on track after a disappointing showing in the tournament last year. A second-round 1-0 loss to Ohio State interrupted a 39 conference game unbeaten streak, and a run of eight conference tourney championships in the tournament's nine-year history. This season, IU (12-3-1) is 6-0 in league play, marking the sixth straight season the Hoosiers have gone undefeated against conference foes. Not only have the Hoosiers won, but they have swept through the conference, outscoring opponents 17-1 overall.

Qualifications plagued by harsh conditions

By Guy Cipriano · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Conditions were ideal during last year's Little 500 qualifications. Temperatures were in the mid 70s, and the wind was almost non-existent. This year, conditions weren't as friendly to riders. The temperature never rose above 40 degrees. In the morning the track was wet, but the moisture was not enough to compensate for the dry conditions during the past week. The track was loose by the afternoon and wind was a factor during the whole day.
