Same ol' Hoosiers

Looking to Buck the trend

·

Since the inception of the IU-Ohio State Big Ten rivalry in 1901, the Buckeyes have dominated, leading the series 62-12-3. The Hoosiers will look to reverse the prevailing trend of the series when they do battle with the Buckeyes at 11 a.m. Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, at Ohio Stadium. Both IU (2-4, 0-3 Big Ten) and Ohio State (3-3, 0-3 Big Ten) come into the game struggling. The Hoosiers have lost their past four games, with their most recent defeat coming at the hands of Northwestern, 31-24. Ohio State has faced similar woes since entering conference play, dropping three straight and falling out of the top 25. This is the first time since 1999 the Buckeyes have dropped three straight. A loss to IU would take OSU back to 1943 and World War II for the last time the scarlet and gray were mired in such a skid.

IU travels for final away games

·

Hoping to further capitalize on a 3-1 record during its six-game road trip, including an overtime win Tuesday against Miami University in Ohio, the IU field hockey team will face Central Michigan University and Big Ten power No. 3 ranked Michigan State this weekend. IU looks to gain momentum as the two matchups occur two weeks away from the Big Ten tournament in Evanston, Ill. Despite a 6-7 record, Central Michigan comes off a 3-0 victory over Miami, pushing the Chippewas' record to 3-4 in the Mid-American Conference. Forwards Kristy Reed and Allyson Doan lead the Chippewas' offense. Doan achieved a bronze medal at the 2002 Junior Olympics, while Reed is a returning starter who totaled 30 points in 2003, including 12 goals and six assists. Between the pipes for Central Michigan is sophomore Danielle Frank, who has posted two shutouts this year for the Chippewas.

Golden Boot on the line this weekend

·

The IU women's soccer team has its sights set on The Golden Boot and aims to bring it back to Bloomington as the team heads into its last weekend of regular season competition. IU will challenge in-state rival Purdue at 3 p.m. Friday hoping to reclaim the Golden Boot, which is the soccer equivalent of football's Old Oaken Bucket game between the two state colleges. The Hoosiers will then take on DePaul at 1 p.m. Sunday. "Considering Purdue has beaten me five times since I've been here, this game means so much to me," said senior co-captain Kim Grodek. "One of my goals this season was just to beat Purdue. I just want to get that Golden Boot one time."

Critical matchup awaits Hoosiers

·

IU coach Mike Freitag said the Big Ten regular season men's soccer title is on the line Sunday, making this weekend's game versus Ohio State (7-4-2 overall, 3-0 Big Ten) the biggest game of the year for No. 8 IU (10-3-1, 4-1-0). The Hoosiers travel to Columbus, Ohio for the their last Big Ten regular season match. Not only would a victory over the Buckeyes solidify the Hoosiers' regular season title, but the win would likely give the team a first-round bye in the Big Ten tournament. "That's a huge game for us," said sophomore midfielder John Michael Hayden. "Having the (night off tonight), we have to come out, we have to be ready to play. I think we're confident we are going to win." If the Buckeyes win Sunday, they still have to play Northwestern Oct. 29 in Evanston, Ill., and Michigan Nov. 6 in Ann Arbor, Mich.
