Hoosiers look to be a presence in Big Ten

By Kevin Kane · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 5:22 p.m.

Last season was a learning experience for the IU men's golf team. This time around, the Hoosiers mean business. Even with a freshman class that at one time held Golfstat's top ranking, few could have expected the mark the Hoosiers made last season in the Big Ten, despite a slow start.

Tough schedule ahead for Hoosiers this season

By Mike Abrams · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:32 p.m.

IU men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson preaches that the best offensive is a good defense. This idea, one practiced among many sports, also holds true for the IU women's volleyball team. The Hoosiers understand the importance of defense and have scholarship athletes in the defensive specialist positions. These players anchor the back row and start most plays, but they don't get a lot of fan recognition.

The start of another Big Ten season is barreling down on the IU volleyball team, and it holds 11 squads -- five of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally. "We are definitely prepared," sophomore defensive specialist Kari Morgenstein said. "We have played for a month and have worked hard to prepare for the Big Ten."

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:27 p.m.

For IU freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis, changing positions was never an option. Lewis was recruited by plenty of big-time football programs during his senior year at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Fla. The University of Florida, the University of Maryland, North Carolina State University and Illinois -- to name a few -- were all interested in Lewis' services.

Cleaning Up

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:27 p.m.

IU coach Terry Hoeppner might have changed the atmosphere around his football team last year, but he was unable to change the team's fortunes during the Big Ten portion of the season. The 2005 Hoosier squad managed just one win during conference play, ended the season on a six-game losing streak and finished in last place in the Big Ten with a 1-7 record.

Hoosiers look to speedy defense to improve play

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:25 p.m.

The numbers don't lie. In eight Big Ten games last year, the IU football team gave up an average of 38 points and 442 yards per game. The Hoosiers' 1-7 record in the Big Ten in 2005 backs up the statistics. But the 2006 defense is trying to put the miserable 2005 Big Ten season behind it.

Sister Act: O'Connells work to help Hoosiers

By Matt Dollinger · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:23 p.m.

"Oh! Meg's out! Someone get her out!" junior Kate O'Connell yelled from a stationary bike on the sideline of Mellencamp Pavilion. This comment came after Meg was struck in the leg with a ball on a practice penalty corner. Is that Kate being a concerned teammate? Nope. Try a fun-poking sister. After joking around and screaming loud enough for everyone in the pavilion to hear her call her sister out, Kate's sister-side came out when freshman Meg O'Connell returned to the sideline. "You OK, Meg?"

From England to Bloomington

By John Wustrow · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:14 p.m.

For freshman Kelly Lawrence, football was a way of life growing up. "I played football since I was 5 years old," Lawrence said. "As soon as I touched the ball, I knew this is what I wanted to do. I just kept on playing for the love of the game, and it's just gone from there."

Hoosiers looking to avenge close losses

By John Wustrow · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:12 p.m.

Mick Lyon has a recipe for scoring goals. "You start with talent," the IU women's soccer coach says. "You've got to have talented players to score goals. There's no doubt about it. And then that talent has to be fit and motivated. And I think you put those three things together, and that's what we have this year that we didn't have last year."

By Michael Sanserino · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:10 p.m.

"I'm just kind of being in the right place at the right time," said the sophomore midfielder/forward. "I'm just trying to bust my ass and get to the ball. Everybody's really helping me out. "I'm playing with the best players in the nation."
