Hoosiers cut down the net

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- IU coach Mike Davis knew what he wanted to do with the ball as soon as he got it from sophomore Jared Jeffries at the close of the Hoosiers' 81-69 win against Kent State Saturday night at Rupp Arena. Davis jumped through two rows of media and headed for the one man he seems to be unable to thank enough for having given him his first shot as a head coach -- IU president Myles Brand. Both Brand and his wife, Peg, were in attendance for both of the Hoosiers' wins in Lexington and they helped kick off the celebration Saturday night after IU won the South Regional. "He said, 'I appreciate all that you've done, thank you and here's the game ball,'" Brand said. "Coach Davis did a tremendous job. I'm proud of him; I'm proud of all the coaches and our student-athletes."

Teams cite determination as key to victory

By Aarno Retherford and Aaron Retherford · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The middle of the pack for the women's Little 500 could contain this year's champion if track conditions improve and luck is on someone's side. Even though Alpha Omicron Pi, Con Fuoco and Alpha Phi have not been powerhouses recently, these teams say not to be surprised if determination drives them past the favorites.

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- When junior Tom Coverdale stepped on Kent State's Eric Thomas' foot and crumbled to the floor, there was 9:35 left in Saturday night's game against the Golden Flashes. The Hoosiers had just put the finishing touches on a 19-9 run and had built a 59-41 lead.

Down to the wire

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

On lap 93 of the 100-lap race, Kappa Alpha Theta senior took the exchange, hopped on her Mongoose bike and built a quarter of a lap lead on the four teams that remained on the lead lap, Roadrunners, Kappa Delta and Alpha Gamma Delta. With a quarter of a lap remaining in the race, Johnson could not make up the half a straightaway lead that Roadrunner senior Jenn Wangerin had built in the final lap to win the 14th running of the women's Little 500. "I just don't believe it's over," Wangerin said. "It really came together for us."

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A final-second save by Miami of Ohio senior goalkeeper Marie Vaughn gave the Redhawks a 2-1 victory against the Hoosiers in the season opener Sunday at Mellencamp Pavilion. In front of a crowd of 136, the largest crowd in the program's history, the second-year Hoosier program improved on a 9-0 loss last year against the Redhawks.

Frontrunners in playoff race

By Benjy Ekhaus · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

As the dog days of August come to an end, the excitement of the baseball season has grown exponentially. Five of the six division races are still up for grabs, the wild card race is anybody's guess, and, of course, there is the ever present home run race. While no race can match the excitement brought in 1998's record breaking season, this year's race is special for one reason: All of the frontrunners also find themselves in a pennant race.

Hoosiers still in Big Ten title hunt

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Wednesday was a big goof -- a black mark on IU's Big Ten slate. But Mike Davis' message was simple, and he said it even before IU lost to Wisconsin in Assembly Hall Wednesday: Win or lose, the Hoosiers are still on top of the Big Ten.

Moye sparks Hoosiers, crowd

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS- Luke Recker was definitely the star of Saturday's first Big Ten semifinal at Conseco Fieldhouse. But sophomore A.J. Moye was the star for the Hoosiers. In his usual role of coming off the bench, Moye gave IU a huge lift throughout the game Saturday, scoring 14 points in 25 minutes of action. He also drew an offensive foul and played terrific defense on whomever he was guarding.

By Michael Schroeder · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Karie Schlukebir and Linda Tran would have liked one more victory. The junior-sophomore pair had been invincible since March 9, winning 15 doubles matches in a row before falling last week, one round short of All-American status.

Take me out to the ball game

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

One of my favorite advertisements I have ever laid my eyes upon in a magazine was for a then-new Major League Baseball video game. It had a Wrigley Field worker looking out onto the field from inside the monstrous green scoreboard that sits behind the centerfield bleachers. Under the worker in the picture the type says, "If heaven were anything like Wrigley Field on a Saturday afternoon, then death wouldn't be so bad." We should adopt that as our national motto.

How sweet it is

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SACRAMENTO -- With just more than 46 seconds left in Saturday night's game in Arco Arena, junior Kyle Hornsby made a layup and drew a foul, giving the Hoosiers a seven-point lead on North Carolina-Wilmington. This was after IU had burned two timeouts trying to get the ball past half-court against the Seahawks' trapping press. As Hornsby pumped his fist, IU coach Mike Davis slid down into his courtside chair, legs and arms extended, palms open to the sky and a big smile on his face, as if to say "Finally."

Kram leaves legacy

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Losing a leader is never easy. But, the women's soccer team is losing not only a leader in graduating senior Kelly Kram, but also a dedicated teammate, an experienced player and a humorous personality. After four years of stellar play for the Hoosiers, Kram will graduate tomorrow with a degree in exercise science.

Pole set for Indy 500

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Bruno Junqueira knew all about the top threats to his first Indianapolis 500 pole. He'd raced against Helio Castroneves, Felipe Giaffone and Tony Kanaan since they were driving go-karts in Brazil, and he grew up watching Raul Boesel race Indy cars.

Davis' words stir controversy

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

When Christmas break began, the Hoosiers sat at 6-2 and were coming off of two consecutive wins in their first two home games of the season. IU was headed to Miami to take on the Hurricanes and escape the cold of the Midwest. Things change, and they did for the Hoosiers over the last three weeks. What IU men's basketball coach Mike Davis was doing in the courtroom began to receive more attention than wins and losses.
