Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:44 p.m.

Three years ago, if someone would have told Molly Pulkrabek that by her senior season she would be a star goalkeeper on the IU field hockey team, she probably would have laughed in their face.

Junior Bart Phariss provides the team with a central veteran presence, said coach Robert Chapman.
