Runner steps up in big meet

By Steve Slivka · Tuesday, Nov. 11,2003 12:45 a.m.

At the Big Ten Cross Country Championships Nov. 2, the unranked women's cross country team finished fourth, edging then-No. 18 Wisconsin, and finishing behind then-No. 10 Michigan, No. 6 Michigan State, and No. 19 Penn State, which finished first through third, respectively. However, it was sophomore Larra Overton who finished fourth for IU in the Big Ten Championship, after IU coach Judy Wilson said, before the race, that she did not believe the team could finish higher than fifth. Overton entered the Big Ten Cross Country Championship with no prior experience running in this meet. She competed in two meets this season: the 5K Indiana Intercollegiates Sept. 19 finishing in a time of 18:44, and the 6K Roy Griak Invitation Sept. 27 with a finishing time 23:00. In her freshman season, Overton competed in four meets and finished second for IU in the Purdue Open with a 5K time of 19:26.6.

Hoosiers snap 11-game Big Ten losing streak

By John Rodgers · Monday, Nov. 10,2003 1:09 a.m.

It's been an interesting week for junior Matt LoVecchio. Seven days removed from being forced to sit because of lingering effects of a concussion, LoVecchio scrambled for eight yards and dove head first across the goal line with 24 seconds remaining to score the winning touchdown in IU's 17-14 win over Illinois.

Hoosiers go slumpbusting

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Nov. 10,2003 1:07 a.m.

So, maybe it's understandable that IU's 17-14 win over Illinois didn't cause the Memorial Stadium crowd of 24,102 to charge the field and rip out the goal posts. But for a team that had lost 11 straight in the Big Ten, it must have felt like the weight of the world was lifted from their shoulders.

Big Ten season champs

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Monday, Nov. 10,2003 12:44 a.m.

Trailing 2-0 with 25 minutes left in the game most thought IU's 44-game Big Ten unbeaten streak, eight-game win streak and conference championship aspirations would all come crashing down. Most thought that -- except the Hoosiers who, Saturday night, in IU coach Jerry Yeagley's final regular season home game, came roaring back with three straight goals, beating Penn State 3-2 and capturing the Big Ten regular season championship for the eighth-straight season. IU (11-3-4, 5-0-1 Big Ten) earned the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament and will play the winner of Ohio State/Wisconsin 5 p.m., Friday. "There was not a player at halftime on our team that was thinking we couldn't be the Big Ten champs," Yeagley said. "They didn't sit there and mope with their heads down. When we came in at half and the main thing was to get their minds off the first half, we talked about the character we developed over the last eight games, the confidence we developed, and we go out and not try to do it all at once.

One last home game

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Friday, Nov. 7,2003 10:28 a.m.

Seeking their ninth-straight victory, the second longest current win streak in the country, the Hoosiers will conclude the regular season Saturday night against Penn State for IU coach Jerry Yeagley's final regular season game. IU (10-3-4, 4-0-1 Big Ten) needs a victory Saturday to ensure the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten tournament, which begins Thursday in Bloomington. A loss would hand the top seed to Michigan, who currently is two points ahead of the Hoosiers but with one conference loss -- that coming to IU 2-1 on Oct. 5 in Ann Arbor, Mich.
