Jefferson, Powers take All-American honors at Championships

By Alex Witteveld · Tuesday, Dec. 2,2003 12:54 a.m.

Heading into the NCAA Cross Country Championships Nov. 24, the most important thing for senior Chris Powers and sophomore Sean Jefferson was the team's success. Although the team fell just short of a top-10 finish and the highest place in school history, it was a good day individually for Powers and Jefferson.

Starting center Leach out after Saturday knee injury

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Dec. 2,2003 12:45 a.m.

Senior center George Leach suffered a left knee injury in Saturday's 80-77 overtime win against Xavier at Conseco Fieldhouse. The injury leaves him out indefinitely. Leach came down awkwardly on his left knee after attempting to block a shot by Xavier guard Lionel Chalmers. He underwent an MRI Saturday night and it was decided that he would be sidelined until he recovers. Trainer Tim Garl, Dr. Larry Rink and Dr. Steve Ahlfeld will be working with Leach to rehab his knee. "I definitely plan to come back," Leach said in a statement. "Tim, Dr. Rink and Dr. Ahlfeld will make sure I get the right treatments and rehabilitation so that I can come back later this year." A starter of the team's first three games this season, the 6-foot-11-inch Leach has averaged eight points and had a season-high eight blocks at Vanderbilt. He ranks fifth in IU history with 155 career blocks.

NCAA declares Yeagley Division I all-time winningest soccer coach

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Tuesday, Dec. 2,2003 12:44 a.m.

Coach Jerry Yeagley called Sunday's 5-0 victory in his last home game something he would remember very fondly. Yeagley was not being modest; actually, he had no idea. Due to a recently discovered records error, the NCAA has declared Yeagley the all-time winningest coach in Division I soccer history, making IU's 5-0 third round win over Virginia Commonwealth Sunday the record-breaking game. Yeagley captured his 541st victory, passing former University of San Francisco coach Stephen Negoesco, who is now only credited with 540 wins down from 544. In 1978, the NCAA discovered an ineligible player on the San Francisco squad, negating four tournament victories -- including the 2-0 national title victory over Yeagley's IU team.

Comeback for Colts comes up short against Patriots

Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:18 a.m.

New England's charmed season now includes yet another thrilling victory. With 14 seconds left Sunday, Willie McGinest shot around the right side of the Indianapolis Colts' offensive line on fourth-and-goal and tackled Edgerrin James in the backfield to preserve the Patriots' 38-34 victory. The Patriots have won eight straight, the longest streak in the NFL, and are 10-2 for the first time in franchise history.

Boilermakers upset Duke

By Dan Joling · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:17 a.m.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski found no fault with his team's effort -- he admits the offense needs work. Had Duke beaten unranked Purdue, the Blue Devils likely would have moved to the top of the polls because of Connecticut's loss earlier in the week.

Paradise lost for IU in island tournament

Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:16 a.m.

The IU women's basketball team spent its Thanksgiving Break in paradise. But the trip to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, was not as delightful as they had hoped, as the Hoosiers dropped two games in the Paradise Jam and saw their season record fall to 2-2. IU was edged out by Mississippi State 70-67 in Friday's first round game, and lost to Iowa State 75-59 in Saturday's consolation game.

A season in review

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:12 a.m.

WARNING: This column contains little or no useful sports content. For many, a 2-10 football season would be considered unmemorable. Not for me. Granted, most of the memories I have from this season occurred off the field. But memories are easy to come by when you spend some 100 hours in a car driving 5,436 miles round trip with my football co-writers, John Rodgers and Gavin Lesnick (Going one way, that's enough mileage to make it to Honolulu. If you got rid of the ocean).

By Zack Eldridge · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:10 a.m.

Not only did the IU men's soccer team score a record five goals in the second half against No. 9 seed Virginia Commonwealth to blank the Rams, 5-0, in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, the No. 8 seed Hoosiers (14-3-5) also advanced to the tournament quarterfinals.

Wright wins battle of top guards

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 1:09 a.m.

IU sophomore Bracey Wright had a new responsibility in Saturday afternoon's contest with Xavier, and he must have done something right. IU beat the Musketeers 80-77 in overtime. For the first time, Wright started at point guard, a position he needs to get familiar with since IU coach Mike Davis says it's where he wants to play him. "He was great for our offense," Davis said. "You want the ball in your playmakers hands, and Bracey can make plays."

Hoosiers find way to win

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 12:33 a.m.

IU coach Mike Davis paced the sidelines and watched his Hoosiers give away the 14-point halftime lead they built over Xavier Saturday. He watched them battle back and send the game into overtime, only to watch them fall behind again. But sophomore guard Bracey Wright took control in the overtime and scored eight of his game-high 27 points, leading the Hoosiers to an 80-77 victory over the Musketeers. It was IU's first appearance in the John R. Wooden Tradition at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. "I don't think you can question our ability to play," Wright said. "We showed tonight, going into overtime, we were down most of the latter part of the game. We found a way to win, and that's what we stress on this team." And yet Davis had other things on his mind. He learned shortly before the game that his oldest son, Mike Jr., had been taken to the emergency room after reacting to a medication to treat repeated migraines. Early in the week, his sister-in-law had been in a serious car accident.

Hoosiers down UNC-G 71-64 in season opener

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Nov. 24,2003 1:25 a.m.

Earlier in the week, IU coach Mike Davis wasn't sure who he could count on to be his top scorer. But in IU's 71-64 win over UNC-Greensboro, it was sophomore guard Bracey Wright who came out on top with 23 points, along with two assists and one block.
