Men's soccer opens Big 10 season

·

For almost a decade, the men's soccer team has dominated the Big Ten. The Hoosiers won eight of nine conference championships, and they are undefeated in 25 games against Michigan State. But things could change in the 2000 season.

Men's soccer team successful at home

·

The men's soccer team continued its trend of scoreless first halves Thursday, lasting the first 45 minutes without a goal against Louisville. But the Hoosiers did end a trend of waiting until the game's waning minutes to score.

Graham returns kickoffs, contributes as a receiver

·

Kentucky's Brandon Sanders boots a kickoff high into the lights at Commonwealth Stadium. The ball sails to the 13-yard line where IU junior Derin Graham catches it and instinctively runs full speed down the middle of the field. He reaches the 20-yard line where he's greeted by a horde of Kentucky tacklers. Without fear, Graham jumps into the pile. He spins twice, and then, amazingly, Graham balances himself with one hand, breaking free from the pile.

Hoosiers look to bounce back against Cincinnati

·

Three weeks, three dangerous offenses and three talented quarterbacks. This isn't the ideal situation for the football team to break in new defensive coordinator James Bell's system. In week one, the Hoosiers faced a North Carolina State offense featuring 18-year-old freshman quarterback Philip Rivers, who played well beyond his years in the Wolfpack's 41-38 victory.

Receivers dedicated to improve from last season

·

Randle El has connected with just three wide receivers in the early stages of the season: Gaddis, Graham and Dorsey. But every day in practice a battle wages between IU's three established receivers and less established players such as junior college transfer Henry Frazier, redshirt freshman L.J. Parker and sophomore Glenn Johnson.

Volleyball team improves with new swing offense

·

Sophomore outside hitter Hillary Toivonen tried to explain the volleyball team's new "swing" offense, but she kept laughing and shaking her head. "It's so confusing," she said. It might be hard to put into words, but the Hoosiers have broken a school record with the new offense, and three players now lead the Big Ten in offensive categories.

Men's soccer takes on Louisville

·

Coach Jerry Yeagley doesn't plan on letting his men's soccer team make the same mistake twice. IU defenders lost the ball to opposing strikers and forwards couldn't get the ball past the faster, stronger opposing defenders in a 4-1 loss to Creighton last Friday.

Injuries plague women's soccer team

·

As the women's soccer season began, coach Joe Kelley was pleased with his team's depth. For Kelley, it was one of the team's three largest assets going into this season. Three weeks later, Kelley might be biting his tongue. The team, once filled with potential starters, is now frail and thin after a host of injuries has depleted the team's midfield and front. In all, four potential starters have been put on the bench for part or all of the season, and another is playing through an ailment.

Randle El shoulders heavy load for football

·

It's not hard to guess who will end up with the ball when IU's football team is in a critical situation. Junior quarterback Antwaan Randle El's role goes beyond the typical responsibilities of the quarterback. Not only is Randle El responsible for barking instructions at the line of scrimmage and throwing the ball, but he also has to worry about carrying the ball.
