FOXBORO, Mass. -- Only the vagaries of the World Cup draw could conjure up a meeting of the world's top two teams in the quarterfinals. "Seems like it should be the final, doesn't it," U.S. forward Shannon MacMillan said Monday of the impending match with Norway. "It surprised us, and after (today), one of us will be going home. That's why it will be an unbelievable game with a lot of emotion." The game tonight at Gillette Stadium is the second of a doubleheader that opens with Sweden against Brazil. The Brazilians beat the Norwegians 4-1 in the first round, an upset that led to the U.S.-Norway game in the second round after the Americans swept through their group.

Hoosiers take time to give back

Somewhere between class, practice, homework, and everything else a student-athlete has to do, the Hoosiers find time to give something back to their community. Even though the team is halfway through the season, it has already reached out to the community three times. On Aug. 23, the team participated in the first annual Latino Summer Festival. The event gave members of the community an opportunity to meet teams Seleccion Huracan and Seleccion Hawthorne Latino, both part of the Indiana Super League, as well as other amateur soccer teams. The team also took in a part of the Latino culture when they were taught how to salsa dance. Freshman forward Megan Sterrett said she enjoys giving back to the community. "I think doing community service is great," she said. "Bloomington has supported the school and the women's soccer team so much that it's great to give back to the community."

Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, the offense couldn't capitalize on any of those opportunities. IU lost 31-17 in a lackluster offensive performance, despite a number of chances.
