By Natalie A. Trout · Friday, Nov. 7,2003 9:43 a.m.

Freshman leading the way for IU with goal scoring

By Andrew Rosen · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 1:07 a.m.

The IU women's field hockey team enters this weekend's Big Ten tournament with its best record in school history, 8-9. One of the reasons for the Hoosiers' improvement this year has been simple; they have done a much better job at putting the ball in the back of the net. Last year the team totaled 22 goals for the entire season. Entering this weekend's tournament, the Hoosiers have already scored 31 goals.

Overton ranked No. 1 college golfer

By Charlie Cunningham and Charlie Gillingham · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12:58 a.m.

IU junior Jeff Overton did not win a golf tournament in his first two years as a member of the IU men's golf team. But the coaching staff still saw potential in the quiet Evansville, Ind., native. This fall, Overton lived up to that potential when he won all four tournaments the Hoosiers participated in earning a great deal of attention, including the No. 1 ranking in the country. It seemed every tournament in which Overton teed up, he broke some kind of record. At the Northern Intercollegiate, Overton tied his career 36-hole low score of 136 en route to his first collegiate victory. Next at the Hoosier Invitational Sept. 27-28, he finished with a 10-under-par 203 -- a school record for 54 holes.

Managers play big role for Hoosiers

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, Nov. 6,2003 12:14 a.m.

You won't find their names on the stat sheet following a game. In fact, they haven't seen action in a match in their college careers. Yet they are considered members of the team. Many fans might take for granted the job they do. They get equipment for players both before and after games and practice. They are the managers for the men's soccer team, and they happen to be brothers.

Injuries hurt all aspects of team

By John Rodgers · Wednesday, Nov. 5,2003 1:15 a.m.

Saturday's game was perhaps the most injury-riddled contest of the 2003 season. The Hoosiers played without senior captains Joe Gonzalez and Brian Lewis. Lewis didn't play because of a concussion, and Gonzalez left the game in the first half limping off the field. Gonzalez's X-rays were negative. Junior Matt LoVecchio missed the game because of lingering effects of a concussion. Junior right guard Chris Jahnke was injured in the first half, as well, but X-rays were also negative on the Louisville, Kent., native. In addition, senior Glenn Johnson bruised his ribs. IU coach Gerry DiNardo commented Tuesday on the current status of the injury situation and who would be practicing. "What I know today, I believe Joe (Gonzalez) will go, Matt (LoVecchio) will go, I believe (sophomore) John Pannozzo will go," DiNardo said. "I don't believe Chris Jahnke will go. Now that could change, as well, but this is what I know as of noon. Glenn Johnson is fine."

Big Ten tourney next for women

By Cory Steger · Tuesday, Nov. 4,2003 12:50 a.m.

After starting the season slow with a 2-5 record in their first seven games, the members of the women's soccer team turned their season around going 6-4-1 in their last 11 games, propelling them into the Big Ten tournament as the sixth seed. The Hoosiers will face third-seeded Purdue in the first round, as they did last year. However, they are hoping there won't be a repeat performance of last year's tournament, when they lost to Purdue 1-0 in overtime. Sophomore forward Robin Barker said making the Big Ten tournament is a main goal for the team every season. "The Big Ten tournament is something we want to get to every year," Barker said. "We want to get past the first round and continue to get better." The Hoosiers have already lost to Purdue 2-1 in a hard-fought battle Oct. 24th. History seems to be on the Boilermakers' side, having won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. Barker said every contest with Purdue is a good game.
