‘Lack of trust’ leads to 3-2 loss at home to Miami

By Nathan Hart · Monday, Oct. 20,2008 12:25 a.m.

After a win against Michigan last Sunday, IU coach Amy Robertson said the Hoosiers were peaking at the right time. While the IU field hockey team might be near its prime, there are still a few bumps along the way. The Hoosiers (7-7, 1-3) lost to Miami (Ohio) 3-2 Friday,continuing a trend of inconsistency from game to game. Since Oct. 3, IU has alternated wins and losses in its last five games. “We were missing something today,” Robertson said after the home loss. “There was a lack of trust, and we didn’t handle pressure well.”

It took four scrappy, heartbreaking weekends, but the IU women’s soccer team was finally able to pick up important Big Ten Conference points. Coming into the weekend 0-6 in conference play, the Hoosiers had received zero points. After this weekend’s play, the Hoosiers (6-10-1, 1-6-1) now have four points after tying conference leader Purdue on Friday night 1-1 and getting their first conference win Sunday afternoon, defeating No 25. Illinois 1-0. “We told them destiny is in their own hands, and they need to start getting points and winning games,” IU coach Mick Lyon said. “There are no passionate rah-rah speeches from the coaches. It’s turned over to them.”

Time to change up the approach

By Dave Leno · Monday, Oct. 20,2008 12:21 a.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — IU coach Bill Lynch said it, as he so often has. “We put together little drives, but we didn’t finish anything,” Lynch said after his team’s 55-13 loss to Illinois on Saturday night. “We give up way too many big plays. Teams have really done a good job taking away our big plays.” Try this – snag some pages from Illinois coach Ron Zook’s playbook, because, boy, that guy knows how to conduct a productive offense. And with IU’s season becoming sickening to watch, now would be an appropriate time.
