IRL driver Renna dies in crash at 26 INDIANAPOLIS -- The investigation into the crash that killed Indy Racing League driver Tony Renna at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be hindered by a lack of visual evidence, an IRL spokesman said Thursday.

Defense provides anchor for team

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, Oct. 23,2003 1:50 a.m.

Four hundred thirty two minutes and two and a half weeks -- that's how long it's been since the men's soccer team has surrendered a goal. The last goal scored against the Hoosiers (7-3-4, 4-0-1 Big Ten) came on Oct. 5 at Michigan. IU has been shutting down opponents at a torrid pace. As a result, it has garnered four consecutive shutouts since the streak started-- and a total of six on the season -- which has come in the midst of a five-game winning streak. The IU defense had a 0.77 goals against average in 2002, a mark that ranked 15th nationally. This season, it has been much of the same. The stifling IU defense and IU goalkeeper are allowing a mere 0.71 goals per game, a mark that ranks first in the conference. "I would characterize our team defense simply," IU coach Jerry Yeagley said. "Look at the Big Ten stats. We lead the Big Ten defensively. I've always said there are two aspects to defense -- individual and defense collectively.
