IU looks to secure NCAA tourney bid

With its NCAA tournament status uncertain, there is only one formula for the No. 64 IU men’s tennis team: win. The team’s ranking might turn out to be too low to earn a spot in the 64-team field.

Tournament time is almost here, but first comes a pit stop. The IU women’s golf team will start postseason play soon, but first the Hoosiers have one more regular season task.

UPDATE: Cutters win 8th Little 500 championship

·

As predicted by many riders, the 57th running of the Little 500 came down to a final-lap sprint. A pack of five teams were in contention going into the final 10 laps. In the end, Cutters rider Alex Bishop out-sprinted Phi Kappa Psi rider Erik Styacich to the finish line. Dodds House, Black Key Bulls and Team Major Taylor rounded out the top-five.

Women’s race features wealth of top teams

Some say Little 500 is all about strategy. But the women of Teter seem to have a pretty simple equation that serves as a team motto: “Ride fast, turn left.” And so long as they try their hardest, the No. 1 goal for the women is to have fun. “If our best means we are the best, that would be extra fun,” said junior Teter rider Sydney Hatten.

Men hope race will be closer than last year’s

Every rider in Saturday’s Little 500 wants what senior Dodds House rider Chris Chartier has: a championship ring. With the defending champion Alpha Tau Omega watching the race from the bleachers after failing to qualify, Dodds House is the most recent team in this year’s race to have won a championship. Dodds won the race in 2005.

Hoosiers set to host Michigan in home finale

·

‘Major’ differences exist among Little 500 riders

·

When senior Dylan Wickersham took his first diving class, he didn’t know it would lead him to major in underwater archaeology. He also didn’t know that his major, with a little business twist, would make him stick out from all the other hundreds of Little 500 riders in this year’s race.

Hoosiers set to take on Big Ten’s best, worst this weekend

·

The IU softball team will host Michigan and Michigan State this weekend at home before embarking on a monthlong road trip. The 2-7 record the Hoosiers have on the road, coupled with a 1-9 mark in the Big Ten, doesn’t bode well for the future of the IU season.

UPDATE: Kappa Delta wins women's Little 500

·

As the cyclists for Kappa Delta drove from place to place during their spring-break training trip, a photo from the finish of last year’s Little 500 hung in their car. The photo shows then-Kappa Delta senior Lauren Ziemba crossing the finish line a mere inches behind Kappa Kappa Gamma’s Jess Sapp. And at the bottom their coach wrote “2007 will be different. Expect to win.”

Hoosiers earn top seed in weekend meet

The IU water polo team is undefeated in conference play, and it’s riding a seven-game winning streak. IU’s last game was an emotional overtime victory against rival Michigan. But heading into the Western Division Championships this weekend in Ann Arbor, Mich., none of it matters.
