U.S. Grand Prix ending raises eyebrows

By Alyson Brodsy and Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:32 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Controversy struck again on race day in Indianapolis as Ferrari dominated the United States Grand Prix, with their drivers, Brazilian Rubens Barrichello and German Michael Schumacher, finishing 1-2, respectively. Unlike this year's Indianapolis 500, when controversy swirled over who won the race, this time questions were raised regarding the tactics used between the Ferrari drivers that allowed Barrichello to come out on top. Ferrari's prancing horse controlled the Grand Prix from beginning to end as Barrichello and Schumacher led every lap of the race. Schumacher led after all but five of the 73 laps, including by 2.743 seconds with just two laps remaining. It was then that Schumacher began to slow down to allow Barrichello to close the gap.

Lack of running game grounds Hoosier offense

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:29 a.m.

For once, it wasn't the turnovers or missed scoring opportunities that hurt the Hoosiers. Instead it was the running game that went nowhere on Saturday in a 45-17 loss to Ohio State. Coach Gerry DiNardo had stressed to the team all week that the team that could run the ball efficiently and stop the run on defense would have the advantage. The Hoosiers weren't able to do either. Freshman running back Yamar Washington had averaged 149 yards in his previous two games, but he was held in check by the Ohio State defense and gained only 15 yards on 10 carries.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Easily one of the NFL's greatest talents, Randy Moss has never made things easy on himself or his teammates. Problems on and off the field have been just as much a part of Moss' playing career as touchdowns and tough catches.

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:56 p.m.

If there ever was a time for a team to hit its stride, it's when they start their conference season, and that's exactly what the IU volleyball team has done.

Aggressive play sets tone

By Ira Klapper · Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:47 p.m.

Five fouls in a NCAA basketball game will get a player ejected. Committing a penalty in a hockey game will relegate a player to the penalty box. Offensive holding in a football game will push a player back ten yards. Most coaches will preach the avoidance of such blunders. Don't tell that to the women's soccer coach, Mick Lyon.

Change pays off

Wednesday, Sept. 25,2002 6:44 p.m.

Three years ago, if someone would have told Molly Pulkrabek that by her senior season she would be a star goalkeeper on the IU field hockey team, she probably would have laughed in their face. Pulkrabek, from Barrington, Ill., came to IU as a soccer goalie for the Hoosiers, and played her freshman season on the squad. But when field hockey coach Amy Robertson started the program during Pulkrabek's sophomore year, she made the switch from shin guards to hockey sticks. Pulkrabek said her soccer background has helped her immensely in field hockey.
