Quirarte knows where he needs to be to lead

By Joe Syzmusiak and Joe Szymusiak · Monday, Oct. 3,2005 1:22 a.m.

While finishing strong is crucial in any sport, sophomore Santiago Quirarte of the IU men's golf team has found out this season that how you start can be just as important. Quirarte's 73.67 scoring average is second on the team, yet it is clear Quirarte hasn't been getting off to the best starts so far this season. Quirarte averages 74.8 for his first and second rounds and 71.3 in his final rounds. And while head coach Mike Mayer tries to break in his talented freshman class early in the season, he looks for Quirarte to become a more consistent presence in tournaments.

IU beats No. 22 Michigan, falls to unranked Spartans

By Chris Sauer · Monday, Oct. 3,2005 1:17 a.m.

For the IU women's soccer team, 2005 looked a lot like 1994 this weekend. After beating the No. 22-ranked Michigan Wolverines for the first time since 1994 Friday, the Hoosiers lost to the Michigan State Spartans at home for the first time since the same year. IU opened the weekend with a win against the Wolverines, its first victory against a ranked team this season. The Hoosiers were led by goals from senior captain Kristen Zmijewski and sophomore forward Kristen Radcliffe. The stat sheet told a different story for IU, as the Hoosiers were out-shot 20-14 and had less chances than the Wolverines on corner kicks. Despite the statistical disparities, IU made the best of its opportunities on the field to earn the victory.
