It's not foreign to them

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, Sept. 19,2002 1:04 a.m.

If sophomore linebacker Martin Lapostolle or freshman punter Tyson Beattie are ever recognized as All-American players, there will be a certain amount of irony involved. After all, neither one is an American citizen. Lapostolle hails from Montreal, Canada, and Beattie is a native of Perth, Australia.

One match, one game, one point at a time. This doctrine has been the 2002 women's volleyball team's motto. The Hoosiers are off to one of their best starts in team history, going 7-2 after nine matches with one of the losses coming in the closing moments of the final game against the Dayton Flyers. With just one more win, the team will have already tied last season's total win column in a third of the matches.

By Jake Rossman · Thursday, Sept. 19,2002 12:55 a.m.

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 1:43 a.m.

Sometimes change and adversity can tear a team apart. For this year's IU women's soccer team, just the opposite has happened. After a disappointing season last year, Athletics Director Michael McNeely brought in a new coaching staff and the Hoosier women entered the 2002 preseason not knowing what to expect. "I feel like (the transition) has brought us a lot closer. We knew we had to work as a team to get better," sophomore midfielder Kim Grodek said. "We've had to work a lot harder this year."

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 1:41 a.m.

These days, the song "I Wish They All Could Be California Girls" has probably taken on a whole new meaning for field hockey coach Amy Robertson. Robertson said she has been happy with her team's overall play of late and has seen two California bred freshman, back Morgan Albini and midfielder Lesley Wiler make significant contributions to the squad. "The great thing for them is they're getting more experience than most freshmen," Robertson said. "They're two players that will greatly influence our future success."

After season ending injury, Mack is back

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 1:37 a.m.

Last season, the men's soccer team ended their season one game away from the NCAA championships playing without one of their stars. Now, senior Ryan Mack is back, and wants to help lead the Hoosiers back to the title game. Mack's season ended prematurely last year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament, leaving a hole in the midfield. Mack's return could complete the puzzle for the Hoosiers to return to championship glory from 1998 and 1999 in Mack's freshman and sophomore years. Already this season, following the Hoosier's defeat of Hartwick and Air Force in the Butler Classic last weekend, Mack was named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week.

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 16,2002 1:52 a.m.

The IU field hockey team (2-4) found out this weekend that what starts badly doesn't necessarily have to finish badly.

Following Friday's tough loss, capitalizing on opportunities became a main focus after outshooting Rutgers 13-8 and doubling up 10-5 in penalty corners.

Physical presence leads to two wins over weekend

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 16,2002 1:51 a.m.

Heading into the Butler SoccerFest, the No. 9 IU men's soccer team struggled with teams that played them physically. In early season match-ups, Rutgers and Clemson both flustered the Hoosiers by playing physical and not allowing IU to utilize its premier technical skills. The Hoosiers opponents in the Butler Classic were perennial tough teams as they faced the Air Force Academy Friday and Hartwick College Sunday. Physical play was what the Hoosiers got from both the Falcons and Hawks.
