Hoelle paces field as cross country sweeps
Junior Matt Hoelle was the top collegiate finisher and senior Brooke Lane placed fourth as the men’s and women’s cross country teams swept the 2002 Millikin Cross Country Classic Oct. 18 in Decatur, Ill. Hoelle placed second behind an unattached runner as he finished in 25:47.03 to lead the men to their second team championship of the season. Four Bears placed in the top 10 as the men’s team finished with 27 points, which was 31 points in front of second-place finisher Greenville College. The women dominated the meet with 29 points. Lane and juniors Mindy Kuhl and Melanie Mikecz claimed the fourth through sixth spots as the Bears won their third team championship of the season.
The No. 1 volleyball team won at least 30 matches for the 17th straight season as the Bears posted five victories en route to defeating Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Oct. 16 and winning the WU Midwest Invitational Oct. 18-19. In the Midwest Invitational, the Bears defeated No. 14 Nebraska Wesleyan (3-0) and St. Olaf College (3-1) Oct. 18 and then ousted Fontbonne College (3-0) and Simpson College (3-0) Oct. 19. Senior Rebecca Rotello had 51 assists against Nebraska Wesleyan as she became the third player in school history to have 4,000 career assists. The football team snapped a two-game losing skid and opened the University Athletic Association season with a victory as the Bears posted a 38-17 win at the University of Chicago Oct. 19. The victory also means the Bears keep possession of the Founder’s Cup, which commemorates the first game ever played between UAA schools. Matt Plotke carried 29 times for a career-high 133 yards, and Brad Duesing caught nine passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. The men’s soccer team dropped its only match, a 1-0 decision to Webster University at St. Louis Soccer Park. The Bears, who dropped to 5-6-1, has lost five of their past seven games. The women’s soccer squad played just one game last week, dropping a 4-1 decision at McKendree College on Oct. 17. Brenda Harpole scored the Bears’ lone tally. Freshman men’s tennis players Neil Kenner and Ari Rosenthal won their first-round match before dropping their final two en route to a fourth- place finish at the Omni Hotels Small College Tennis Doubles Championships at the H.E.B. Tennis Center Oct. 17. The fourth-place finish is the best in school history at the Small College Championships. |
