#10 PUke defeated our volleyball squad in straight sets to win a half point in the Governor's Cup competition and after 2 events have a 1.0 - .5 lead.  We'll have a chance to get back at them on Nov. 8, in Bloomington.

The next scheduled competition event is Nov. 1, for the B1G men's an women's XC championship and then the one we're all waiting for is Nov. 30, in Bloomington.

B1G Cross Country Championship today and the IU women edged out the PUkettes by 4 points to take a full point in the Governor's Cup competition.  IU women finished 13th; Mariah Wehrle was our top finisher placing 29th.

The IU men make it a sweep as they finish in 6th place 28 points ahead of PUke's 7th place finish.  Martin Segurola finished in 11th place and Skylar Stidham in 12th to pace the Hoosiers.

Currently we lead the overall with 2.5 points to PUke's 1.0

I thought our Volleyball team was going to be really good this season with our recruiting wins.   It seems like their time is coming but this team is underperforming expectations.

Yeah.  The Big Ten is a really tough volleyball conference, but I would agree with that assessment.

After the massacre at Little Jordan River yesterday, we've taken a 3.5 to 1.5 lead.  Next event not until Jan. 31. and men's basketball in West Laffy.

IU wrestlers take a 25-11 win at West Laffy and pick up a full point.

IU swimmers sweep the Toiletmakers and take a 6.5 to 1.5 lead in the overall competition.  Unfortunately, the next event on the 31st is men's bball in West Laffy and I have little hope our men's team will widen our overall lead.

Next competition is Feb. 15, women's bball in Bloomington.

Not a good day for our indoor track and field squads.  Hopefully IUWBB will get us a half point tomorrow.

The Boilermakers finish 7th in the Men's Championships with 38.5 points and the Hoosiers finish 9th with 31 points. On the Women's side, Purdue finish tied for 12th with 19 points and Indiana finish 16th with 14 points. Cup standings are now at Indiana 7.5, Purdue 5.
