The schedule isn't getting any easier for IU. A week after falling at Connecticut to open the season, the football team will travel to Seattle to take on the No. 22 Huskies in their home opener Saturday. For a team that lost by 24 points to UConn last week, it's a daunting task. But it's also an opportunity to turn around a disastrous start. Junior quarterback Matt LoVecchio said the chance to put the UConn loss behind them is a motivating factor for the players.

By Cory Steger · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2003 2:17 a.m.

There's an old saying that goes, "Offense wins games, but defense wins championships." There wouldn't be any other phrase that better suits the Hoosier women's soccer team.

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Paul Lo Duca left in the third inning of Monday night's game against Houston with a sprained jaw after he was hit in the face by a foul tip. The ball came off Jeff Kent's bat and struck the base of Lo Duca's mask, knocking it off his head and causing a brief delay while assistant trainer Matt Wilson and manager Jim Tracy checked on him. The same thing happened Saturday night, after a foul tip by Colorado's Preston Wilson struck Lo Duca in the same spot.

Powers welcomed back

By Alex Witteveld · Tuesday, Sept. 2,2003 1:20 a.m.

Experience and depth may be two major aspects that could propel the men's cross country team to a very successful season this year. With the return of senior Chris Powers, the Hoosiers will only add to this depth and experience. Last season Powers redshirted his junior year to pursue studies abroad. He now has one year left of eligibility, and his coach is certainly glad that he is back.
