Coach believes team close to 'breakout'

By Chris Engel · Friday, March 10,2006 12:04 a.m.

Close. That word has defined the first three weeks of the IU women's softball season. Close to bringing in runners to score. Close to securing the holes in the defense. Close to getting the win to put them over the top. Despite not being able to capitalize on chances against ranked opponents so far this season, coach Stacey Phillips said she believes her young team is ready for a defining win as the cream and crimson head off for a seven-day Florida road trip.

IU is red hot

By Andy Romey · Friday, March 10,2006 12:02 a.m.

IU travels to Indianapolis today for the second time this season. And IU coach Mike Davis realized he has felt this way before. Davis described his team's current mindset as "perfect," saying this team right now compares to the IU that defeated Kentucky 79-53 in the RCA Dome in Indianapolis early in the season. "You've seen us play the last four games," Davis said. "It's a different basketball team. It's the team that you saw against Kentucky and all those teams. Their minds are free."

Members of the IU men and women's diving team hope to punch their tickets to the NCAA Championships as they start competition today in the Zone C Diving Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
