By John Rodgers · Tuesday, Sept. 3,2002 1:08 a.m.

This time of year, IU students are adjusting to new things. The field hockey team's no different. Winning is a new concept the Hoosiers want to keep building on when they face Maine (1-1) 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. IU opened its season with a victory against Miami (Ohio) last week.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 3,2002 1:01 a.m.

The move from tight end to defensive tackle has already paid dividends for senior Kris Dielman and the Hoosier defense. Dielman was instrumental in IU's 25-17 win over William and Mary. For his efforts in that game, Dielman was named Defensive Player of the Week by the Big Ten conference.

Hoosiers escape in season opening win

By Alex Hickey and Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:43 a.m.

As William & Mary quarterback Dave Corley scrambled to his left with time expiring in Saturday's game against IU, his shoe came flying off in the opposite direction, hitting the ground with an inconsequential thud. His pass to wide receiver Danny Wade was equally harmless. IU junior cornerback Antonio Watson swatted the ball to the ground, preserving IU's 25-17 victory in the Hoosiers' debut.

With 1:24 remaining in the game on Saturday, junior cornerback Antonio Watson was called for a pass interference penalty, putting William and Mary 15 yards out from the potential game-tying score. Instead of losing his cool, Watson came up with two huge defensive plays in the final 11 seconds and led IU to its first opening game win since 1999.

Second-half offensive explosion propels IU

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:27 a.m.

What a difference a year makes. The IU field hockey team opened their season Saturday in dominating fashion defeating the Miami Redhawks 4-1 in Oxford, Ohio. The Hoosiers, who struggled to a 1-16 record in 2001, got over the .500 mark for the first time in the program's three year history. After losing the past two years to Miami, head coach Amy Robertson's club exacted revenge on the Redhawks with an offensive blitzkreig in the second half that tied a Hoosier record for most goals scored in a game.

Hoosiers use strong pack for victory

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:27 a.m.

For the men's cross country team's corps of freshmen, the first meet of their career turned out to be a successful one. Four redshirt freshmen finished in the top seven of the team and all seven varsity runners placed in the top ten of the Indiana Open Friday at the IU Cross Country Course. In an effort to dominate their home opener, the team used a tight pack in which their top runner and seventh runner were separated by only 37 seconds. Redshirt freshman John Jefferson debuted as the number one runner for the team in the seven-kilometer race, with senior Bart Phariss slightly behind him. Jefferson finished with a second place overall finish of 22:29.10, and Phariss placed third .2 seconds behind Jefferson.

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:20 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The U.S. team found itself in an unusual situation Saturday night. For the first time in the three-day old World Basketball Championships, the team had to dig itself out of a hole against Houston Rocket draftee Yao Ming and his China team. After being down by as much as 12 points, the U.S. team battled back and won 84-65. The U.S. team, 3-0 in its quest for the gold medal in the Championships, was aided greatly by its defense after faltering offensively.

Hoosiers offense slim in weekend matches

By Alyson Brodsy and Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:17 a.m.

For the third straight season, the IU men's soccer squad failed to claim the championship as they hosted the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic this past weekend. The consensus No. 1 ranked Hoosiers took on No. 7 Rutgers on Friday night and No. 9 Clemson on Saturday evening. In a tight defensive battle, Rutgers and IU played to a 0-0 tie after two overtimes. Rutgers stymied the Hoosiers offensive attack by consistently putting nine and 10 men back on defense. Despite doubling the Scarlet Knights' shot output 16-8, IU was able to put just four shots on the goal of Rutgers senior keeper Ricky Zinter.

Hoosiers tie; Clemson takes tourney

By Alyson Brodsy and Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 2,2002 2:11 a.m.

On Friday and Saturday, the IU men's soccer team hosted the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic for the 20th consecutive season. The classic kicked off the Hoosiers' campaign for a sixth consecutive College Cup appearance. For just the second time since losing both games in 1992, the Hoosiers failed to win a game in the season opening tournament. "I would sure as heck like to win our own classic one of these years," Hoosier coach Jerry Yeagley said. "It seems like we are good hosts. But performance wise I am quite pleased although disappointed, and we can't be satisfied without finding a way to win."

DiNardo era begins

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Friday, Aug. 30,2002 3:15 a.m.

At 4 p.m. this Saturday at Memorial Stadium, the Gerry DiNardo era of Indiana football kicks off. After all the spring practices, the workouts in the sweltering summer heat, and the two-a-days in the fall, it all comes down to this. But this year's Hoosier football team may look nothing like the Hoosier teams of the past couple of years. And with free admission to the game for students this weekend, the contest will offer many fans a chance to check-out the new-look Hoosiers. Gone is head coach Cam Cameron and the 18-37 record during his tenure. Enter DiNardo who brings with him the knowledge of rebuilding programs as he did with Louisiana State. Gone is the backfield of Antwaan Randel-El and Levron Williams. Enter in the unproven starters, senior Tommy Jones at quarterback and junior Brian Lewis at running back.
