I have proof! America finally embraces soccer

By John Koluder · Friday, Oct. 13,2000 1:16 a.m.

The scene was set: thousands of screaming fans, flags waving all over the place, rhythms being blasted throughout the arena ... If you said a Skynard concert, good guess. Probably what I would have said too. But you're wrong. It was Crew Stadium Wednesday night. And it was then and there when I realized I had finally become a true soccer fanatic.

Around the game

'Cats running back earns trust

By Dan Cortez · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2000 2:38 a.m.

Damien Anderson is a simple man without much flash. He doesn't ask about his statistics or other personal accolades. He only asks one thing of his coaches and teammates, and that is patched on the plain black shirt that he wears underneath his letterman jacket. He wants them to "trust" him. Apparently Northwestern does. The Wildcats rode the coattails of their 5-foot-11, 202-pound junior running back as they shredded the Hoosiers Saturday 52-33 at Ryan Field. Anderson rushed for a career-high 292 yards on 36 carries and scored four touchdowns. Anderson didn't put much stock in his numbers. Instead, he was more interested that the Wildcats won.

By Sarah Trotto · Monday, Oct. 9,2000 1:38 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Butler goalkeeper Jason Richarz was like a stubborn brick wall, denying nearly every scoring chance the men's soccer team had Friday night.
