By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 26,2006 11:37 p.m.

The IU women's volleyball team will end its losing streak this season at 19 games. It won't end because of a Hoosier victory though. It will end because there are no more games to play. The Hoosiers lost their last two games at home this weekend after being swept by No. 11 Wisconsin on Friday and No. 10 Minnesota on Saturday. The losses ended the Hoosiers' season and put the team in last place in the Big Ten at 1-19 with an overall record of 10-22. The wins helped boost both Wisconsin and Minnesota in their pushes for an NCAA Tournament bid.

It was more frustration," Meyers said. "I just wanted to get off (the field) before anything worse happened."

Colts dealt 1st loss of season

By Jaime Aron · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:24 a.m.

IRVING, Texas -- The Indianapolis Colts are perfect no more. And as flawed as the Dallas Cowboys are, they're starting to look like contenders again. Tony Romo managed an efficient game in his first career start at home, Marion Barber III ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and the Cowboys handed Peyton Manning and the Colts their first loss of the season 21-14 Sunday. A week after becoming the first team to start 9-0 in consecutive seasons, Indianapolis fell shy in its bid to match last year's 13-0 run, much less than the perfect season by the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

The bottom of the pile is now at the top of the pack. In his first-ever Great Lakes Regional Championships, freshman Jordan Kyle finished unscathed from a race that claimed the rest of his team. A career-best 10K time of 31:02.43 gave Kyle a coveted third-place finish to secure his slot at the NCAA Championships, scheduled for today in Terre Haute. "(IU) coach (Robert) Chapman has done an excellent job of peaking me for the end of the year, and I have never felt stronger than I do now," Kyle said. "Currently the weather is making for a very muddy race at nationals, which for me is a mental advantage. I tend to exceed my ability when the conditions are worse."
