Men's soccer team pulls Washington upset, falls to Portland

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 2:41 a.m.

For the second consecutive weekend, the men's soccer team split a pair of matches, this time in the Portland adidas Classic. Both matches ended 1-0, continuing the Hoosier trend of strong defense, and a nagging inability to put the ball in the back of the net. IU was on the winning end of the score in the first game against No. 2 Washington, and then fell to Portland in the Classic's final game.

Doninger remembers days leading up to Knight's firing

By Ryan Gunterman · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 2:39 a.m.

For former athletics director Clarence Doninger, Saturday, Sept. 9, 2000 was one of the most difficult days in his 10-year tenure in Bloomington. The day started off with the IU-N.C. State football game in Bloomington that the Hoosiers lost in the final minutes 38-41. By the end of the day, the loss was the last thing on Doninger's mind. It was during that game that IU President Myles Brand approached Doninger about the possibility that then-men's basketball coach Bob Knight could be fired.

Simpson recalls role as IU's voice

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 2:34 a.m.

A year ago, former men's basketball coach Bob Knight likened Christopher Simpson, then-vice president for Public Affairs, to a "puppet" and a "spin doctor." Nine months later, Simpson resigned from his position and left the University. He has no regrets about the Knight firing or his resignation.

Haston doesn't regret decision

By Eric Talbot · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 2:32 a.m.

Basketball standout Kirk Haston made a big decision by foregoing his senior year of eligibility and entering the NBA draft. Haston, who was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 16th overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft, said he still thinks about his times as a Hoosier. "I still have days and nights were it would be nice to see my friends at school," Haston said. While reflecting on the past, he said he is still content about his decision and his future.

IU finishes last at tourney despite junior's heroics

By Alex Hickey and Aaron Beard · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 1:44 a.m.

Last week, head coach Mike Mayer made the decision to put junior Mike Miller into the team's top slot. The move paid dividends this weekend as Miller shattered his three-round tournament record by six shots after putting together a three-over par total of 219, finishing in 25th place at this weekend's Badger Intercollegiate in Madison, Wis. Unfortunately, Miller's heroics were not enough to save the Hoosiers, who finished the tournament in the 15th and final position.

First game shows plenty of holes in Randle El switch

By Nick Bowton · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 1:40 a.m.

It won't work. Lee Corso says so. So do I. Moving Antwaan Randle El to wide receiver seemed like a good idea. He'd keep defenses on their toes. They wouldn't know what to expect when he switched from receiver to quarterback and back to receiver. But North Carolina State knew exactly what to expect Thursday. The Randle El experiment failed, and it failed early.

Stanford holds off Hoosiers

By Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 10,2001 1:33 a.m.

A thunderstorm ripped through Bloomington last Friday afternoon, but Mother Nature wasn't the only force in town. Before the first overtime began, someone from the Hoosier field hockey team huddle yelled, "There's a storm coming, and it's Indiana." Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, their efforts fell just short as they were defeated by Stanford University squad 3-1 in extra strokes following 70 minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of overtime scoreless play.

Collapse of the D?

By Jason Recker · Thursday, Sept. 6,2001 2:11 a.m.

The official IU athletics Web site, jumping for joy, is conducting a "Countdown to IU's Home Opener." Nine days, five hours, 20 minutes and three seconds to go. But I'm guessing you're not counting down, either. Gee, can't believe you're not sitting at home, filled with adrenaline, gazing into the computer as the seconds tick away. I'm also guessing you're not counting down to the season opener, tonight at North Carolina State. But, for fun's sake, let's have our own little countdown. The "Countdown to IU's Season Opener." Here we go.

Team schedule demanding

By Pat Crowell · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2001 11:58 p.m.

The struggle of staying motivated to go to classes is tough for many students. Many people struggle with rolling out of bed in the morning and with doing readings for class. These battles are also difficult for many student athletes.

Runner fights her way back

By Natalie A. Trout · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2001 11:52 p.m.

Many might say being a biology major is tough work. Put that on top of being a member of the women's cross country team, the indoor/outdoor track team and battling an injury from last season, and more pressure arises. But junior Allyson Hammond seems to pull it all off.

Butler transfer to battle former squad

By Alyson Brodsy and Nate Rau · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2001 2:20 a.m.

IU women's soccer coach Joe Kelley calls it the "Kara factor." Butler transfer Kara Bryan, a junior, will be returning to Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis for tonight's game against the Bulldogs. That's one more reason his team has to be prepared mentally for a team known for its physical play. "They have some good players. They're a solid team," Kelley said. "There's no teams on our schedule that we can look at and say 'we're just going to walk all over these people.' Plus the fact that it's an in-state rivalry and obviously the 'Kara factor' will be a big motivating factor for them."

Golfers get dream facility

By Alex Hickey · Tuesday, Sept. 4,2001 1:18 a.m.

Rob Ockenfuss walks into a bunker 130 yards away from the green and finds his ball plugged deep in the sand. Certainly it's not a scenario any golfer wants to walk into. Rather than getting flustered, the freshman calmly walks into the bunker and attempts to put the ball on the green.

Women's team approaches event as chance to learn pacing, coach says

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler Hoeppner · Friday, Aug. 31,2001 2:03 a.m.

The women's cross country team opens its season today at the Indiana Open at home. The meet will set the tone of the Hoosiers' season. Twelve women will start the race for IU. While head coach Judy Bogenschutz said she considers the meet "low key," she said it's also a good indicator of where the members are in their training. "The first two meets are to see where people are at. They are stepping stone races for the bigger races in Minneapolis and South Bend," Bogenschutz said.
