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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Fisher optimistic about season

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, Aug. 30,2001 1:14 a.m.

You would sooner find senior Tiffany Fisher on the balance beam than on the driving range at the age of 13. It was then that the lone senior on the women's golf team felt burned out from her gymnastic experiences.
