Defense shows signs of improvement in third scrimmage

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Monday, April 9,2001 2:03 a.m.

Football coach Cam Cameron said the Hoosier offensive line is as strong as it ever has been. The Hoosiers return all five starters and Cameron has made some adjustments he believes will boost the Hoosiers' offense. But the offensive line couldn't hold back the defense, which made a strong showing at the team's third scrimmage Saturday. "(The offensive line) is one of the strengths of our team," Cameron said. "Our defensive line is really improved, but the offensive line is really going to be the strength of this team."

Senior wins national freestyle crown

Monday, April 9,2001 2:02 a.m.

Senior Michael Dixon's career as an IU wrestler ended at the Big Ten Championships March 4 in Evanston, Ill. Dixon lost his final match to Penn State's Bob Jones and finished eighth in the conference finale. In that respect, Evanston wasn't kind to Dixon. But Dixon made sure the eighth-place finish wasn't his last appearance on the Northwestern campus. Instead, with his career as a Big Ten heavyweight complete, he assured himself of yet another chance to strut his skills on another level, and he's not finished yet.

Hoosiers lose doubleheader

By Nate Rau · Monday, April 2,2001 1:36 a.m.

Coach Diane Stephenson has spent the entire season preaching to her team about the importance of intensity, claiming extra effort will be the determinant in whether the Hoosiers reach their goal of getting into the Big Ten tournament. But it was No. 23 Wisconsin (19-12, 2-0) that came out with the needed intensity Friday. The Badgers used a three-run first inning to propel themselves to a 5-4 win in the first game of the doubleheader at Softball Field. The Hoosiers lost the second game to the Badgers 2-0.

Trailing by two with just seconds to go, center Kent Benson tipped-in an IU miss to send the game into overtime. The controversial play was disputed by the Michigan bench, as coach John Orr said he felt the tip occurred after the buzzer had sounded.
