Women's rows 7, 8 have high hopes

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Row 7 no. 19 Alpha Phi (3:07.417) The attitude of Alpha Phi this year is a 180-degree turnaround from last year's team. Whereas last year's squad was more interested in having fun, this year's team is looking for a top finish. And, with three returning riders and a pair of rookies, captain Allison Ferro thinks the team has the talent to do just that.

Defense falters again

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Familiarity is comforting, except when it's losing. And that's just what the Hoosiers did Saturday in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. They lost 42-28, in an all too familiar fashion. A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.

Transfer looking to improve guard play

By Nate Rau · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Experience will not be something the women's basketball team will be lacking this season. The team's top two returnees -- seniors Jill Chapman and Heather Cassady -- have started a combined 153 games in their college careers. What a luxury, then, that coach Kathi Bennett was able to add junior Kristen Bodine to her squad. Bodine, a transfer from Butler who sat out last season but practiced with the team, is penciled in to start at the point guard for the Hoosiers this season.

Williams defeats obstacles, earns position

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Little League football said senior Levron Williams was too big to play running back. He was talented enough to play both offense and defense, but they would not let him carry the ball. "I was supposed to play running back the year I started to play, but they had a weight requirement I had to meet, and they said I was overweight," Williams, the Hoosiers starting running back, said. "I was kind of bigger than everyone else." Williams said his future as a running back began in middle school. "I just showed them I could run the ball and they let me play running back," he said.

Lady Hoosiers travel to Illinois

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU women's basketball team prides itself on its leadership from four starting seniors. Illinois looks for inspiration elsewhere with only one senior in its opening lineup. "Senior leadership is important, but you have to be passionate and you have to be hungry and you got to want to make it happen," Illinois coach, Theresa Grentz, said. "If you don't have seniors, you go with what you have. The key is to be passionate. You have to have great desire."

Armstrong wins 3rd straight Tour

By Brian Longly · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

About the time people here in America were waking up from a nice deep sleep Sunday morning, halfway across the globe, a fellow American was accomplishing something monumental. Lance Armstrong was crossing the finish line in the final stage of the Tour de France as the champion for the third year in a row -- the first time any American had ever accomplished such a feat. For those that aren't familiar, the Tour de France is like the Super Bowl of bicycling. It starts out with a time trial and then goes on for 20 consecutive stages before its conclusion. The race tours the French countryside, from the flats to the mountains, including some time spent in the Alps. The tour ends up in Paris, by the famed Champs-Elysees. For all the riders in the world, this is the event they train for during the year. It is actually more prestigious than an Olympic medal.

Alone in first place

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Wednesday night, the Hoosiers played zone defense, something they almost never do. Wednesday night, IU used a trapping press to try to disrupt Ohio State, a tactic the Hoosiers almost never use. The Hoosiers were playing for first place in the Big Ten last night, late in February, something it hasn't done for nearly a decade.

Hoosiers only win one of three

By Beau Wicker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU baseball team fought hard this weekend in a pivotal Big Ten series with Ohio State, but they were only able to get one victory in three games at Sembower Field. Rainfall cancelled game four, which ruined IU's chance of a series split. The Hoosiers (28-10, 9-6 Big Ten) fell two games behind the first place Buckeyes (23-10-1, 11-4) for the conference lead.

Final hopes

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Of the 26 teams IU played this season, the Hoosiers have only one with which to compare Oklahoma. Not Illinois. Not Louisville. Not Kentucky. After pondering the question several seconds, junior guard Kyle Hornsby started to speak. "The…closest I can come…to comparing them to anybody…might be…Duke," Hornsby said slowly. The Sooners aren't a carbon copy of the Blue Devils, who IU upset in the South Regional Semifinal 74-73, but they are close. OU is strong, physical and any player on the floor can score. The Sooners play tight defense, can beat nearly anyone in a half-court game and can run and dunk with nearly anyone else.
