2026 Indiana University Athletics Hall of Fame Class Announced Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson announced today that IU Athletics will welcome six new members to its Athletics Hall of Fame. The six individuals comprise the 41st class, bringing the roster of inductees to 267. Terry Cole (Football, 1965-67), Jared Jeffries (Men’s Basketball, 2001-02), Irina Kharun (Women’s Track and Field, 2001-03; Women’s Tennis, 2001), Bev Ramser (Women’s Tennis, 1979-82), Kyle Schwarber (Baseball, 2012-14), and Ken Snow (Men’s Soccer, 1987-90) will be officially inducted at the annual Hall of Fame dinner on Nov. 13, and will be recognized at halftime of the Indiana-USC football game at Memorial Stadium the following day. “We are thrilled to welcome these six remarkable individuals and congratulate them and their families on this prestigious honor,” Dolson said. “What makes this particular group so extraordinary is that beyond their immense individual accomplishments, every single member of this class played an integral role in winning championships—whether that was capturing national team titles or Big Ten team crowns. That legacy of team success is something that we are extremely proud of at Indiana University.” The IU Athletics Hall of Fame, established in 1982 by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics in conjunction with the Varsity Club and the I-Association, recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the prestige of IU both on and off the field of competition.
Terry Cole (Football, 1965-67)-A championship player at IU and in the NFL, Terry Cole played for legendary IU Coach John Pont from 1965-67. He led the Hoosiers in rushing as a sophomore in 1965 and was a critical part of a Hall of Fame IU backfield during each of the next two seasons. He’s best remembered by IU fans for his final regular-season game in 1967, when he rushed for 157 yards on 15 carries to help IU to a 19-14 win over Purdue and the program’s first-ever Rose Bowl appearance as the Big Ten co-champion. Cole’s performance against Purdue included a 63-yard touchdown run and another 42-yard burst that set up a crucial score. After completing his collegiate career, Cole was drafted and played in the NFL for six seasons from 1968 to 1973 with the Baltimore Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Miami Dolphins. He finished as the runner-up for the NFL Rookie of the Year award in 1968 and appeared in three Super Bowls, including two victories with Baltimore in 1969 and Miami in 1972. Cole passed away in 2005.
Jared Jeffries (Men’s Basketball, 2001-02)-Jared Jeffries is one of the most dynamic players in IU Men’s Basketball history. In his first season with IU under first-year coach Mike Davis, the Bloomington, Ind., native earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors after averaging 13.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while leading IU to a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. As a sophomore, Jeffries was even better, winning Big Ten Most Valuable Player recognition and second-team All-America honors after averaging 15.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. He led the 2002 Hoosiers to a Big Ten co-championship and a memorable run to the 2002 NCAA Tournament national championship game. Following that NCAA runner-up season, Jeffries entered the NBA Draft and was selected 11th overall by the Washington Wizards. He went on to enjoy an 11-year career in the NBA across four different franchises, compiling career averages of 4.8 points and 4.1 rebounds before officially retiring from professional basketball in 2013.
Irina Kharun (Women’s Track and Field, 2001-03; Women’s Tennis, 2001)-Irina Kharun started her IU career as a member of both the Track and Field and Women’s Tennis programs, but the native of Kharkiv, Ukraine, quickly turned her attention to track, where she remains one of the most decorated athletes in program history. She captured the NCAA title in the javelin in 2003 with an NCAA and collegiate record throw of 61.82m (202-10), a mark that stood for 17 years. She also remains one of only two IU female student-athletes to win an NCAA Outdoor Championship title alongside fellow Hall of Famer Katrin Koch. Kharun had three top-10 NCAA finishes in the javelin and secured Big Ten titles in the event in 2001 and 2003. Her successes extended to the international stage as well, as she earned a silver medal as the runner-up at the European U-23 Championships in the javelin in 2003.
Bev Ramser (Women’s Tennis, 1979-82)- Bev Ramser is one of the most accomplished players in IU Women’s Tennis history. A member of Hall of Fame coach Lin Loring’s historic first recruiting class alongside Tina McCall and Kelly Ferguson, Ramser immediately starred on the national stage, earning All-America honors in both singles and doubles as a freshman and advancing to the AIAW doubles semifinals in 1979 with Ferguson. She continued her dominance during her next three years and earned All-Big Ten recognition in 1981 and 1982. Ramser compiled phenomenal career records of 102-31 in singles and 109-25 in doubles. Her storied collegiate career included Big Ten team titles in 1980, 1981, and 1982, and culminated with the ultimate team achievement when she helped lead the Hoosiers to the 1982 AIAW National Championship.
Kyle Schwarber (Baseball, 2012-14)-The most accomplished college and professional baseball player in IU history, Kyle Schwarber was a two-time First-Team All-American during his three years in Bloomington. He concluded his IU career among the program’s all-time leaders in slugging (.607), home runs (40), hits (238), and runs (182) while batting .341 in 180 games. He was the anchor of an IU program that won two Big Ten regular season and postseason tournament titles during his three seasons and advanced to the 2013 College World Series for the first time in program history. In 2014, Schwarber was drafted fourth overall in the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs and has gone on to tremendous success during an 11-plus year career that has included stints with the Cubs (2015-20), Washington (2021), Boston (2021), and Philadelphia (2022-present). His teams have advanced to the playoffs 10 times, highlighted by the Cubs’ 2016 World Series Championship. He led the National League in home runs in both 2022 (46) and 2025 (56), and is a four-time All-Star (2021, 2022, 2025, and 2026).
Ken Snow (Men’s Soccer, 1987-90)-Ken Snow is the most decorated player in the history of Indiana University’s most historically successful program. Starring for Hall of Fame Coach Jerry Yeagley from 1987-90, Snow is the program’s only four-time first-team All-American and its only two-time national player of the year. As a freshman in 1987, he set a new program record with 28 goals, a mark that still stands 39 years later. As a sophomore, he scored 22 goals, won his first Hermann Trophy Award as the National Player of the Year, and led IU to the program’s third NCAA Championship. Snow scored 18 goals in 1989 and another 16 in 1990, a season that saw him claim his second Hermann Trophy award. Snow concluded his IU career with 84 goals in 87 career matches, and he remains the program’s all-time leader in goals and points (196). His 84 goals also rank sixth in NCAA soccer history. Over his four seasons, IU went 71-12-7 and advanced to two College Cups to go along with the 1988 NCAA Championship title. Ken passed away in 2020.

No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers Host the Washington Huskies in the Big Ten Men’s Home Opener The unbeaten, No. 2-ranked Indiana men’s soccer team hosts the No. 16 Washington Huskies tonight in its Big Ten home opener. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and tickets are on sale here. IU staff, faculty and students get in free with a valid Crimson Card ID. Fans unable to attend can watch the match via the B1G+ digital platform. The first 250 fans in attendance will receive an Indiana Soccer x Little 500 collaboration scarf. Additionally, guests who show their ticket for this weekend’s Indiana football game will receive a $5 ticket.
At 6-0-1, the Hoosiers are off to their best start since 1997 (7-0-0). Three points are up for grabs between reigning national champion Washington and eight-time title-winner Indiana. Both teams won their Big Ten openers. The Hoosiers kicked off conference play with a gritty 1-0 victory at Michigan, highlighted by Stephane Njike’s winning goal and Michal Mroz’s tremendous save. The result marked Indiana’s fourth clean sheet in seven matches. The Hoosiers have held opponents to three goals (0.43 goals against average) – only one from open play – and have yet to allow multiple goals in a match.
IU has dominated its home matches, winning its first five on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. In those games, the Hoosiers have outscored opponents 12-2 and recorded three clean sheets.
At 4-2-1, Washington’s highest ranking in the national polls comes from College Soccer News at No. 16. The Huskies also rank No. 24 in the Top Drawer Soccer poll but have not returned to the United Soccer Coaches Top 25. Washington ranks tied-for-sixth nationally and No. 1 in the Big Ten in scoring offense, averaging 3.1 goals per game, while allowing 1.7 goals per game. Indiana’s back line will have its hands full between the nation’s leading goalscorer in Zach Ramsey (11 goals) and midfielder Alex Hall (2 goals, 4 assists). Head coach Jamie Clark leads Washington in his 16th season with the program, owning a 194-74-42 record during his time in Seattle. Clark has a 233-89-45 career record over 19 seasons as a head coach. He was the Top Drawer Soccer Coach of the Year last season. Washington won its first men’s soccer national title last year with a 3-2, overtime victory against NC State. The Huskies finished the 2025 season with a 16-6-2 record and finished second in the Big Ten with a 7-3-0 league mark.
Tonight’s match between Indiana and Washington marks the fifth time the teams have met in the regular season – the remaining four all took place in the NCAA Tournament. That includes the 1999 NCAA Tournament Second Round, when Jerry Yeagley’s Hoosiers defeated Washington 2-0 on the road to their second straight national title and No. 5 of eight overall. Current IU head coach Todd Yeagley participated in the first matchup in 1992, another 2-0 tournament second round victory for the Hoosiers. The series is so far a tale of two decades. Since IU won four straight to kick things off between 1992-2001, the Hoosiers have struck out in four meetings in the 2020’s. With Washington now a conference rival, the Hoosiers have plenty of opportunities to right that ship.
Indiana University Women’s Volleyball Heads to South Carolina for the Chanticleer Classic The non-conference portion of this year’s schedule ends this weekend as the Indiana volleyball team (5-2, 0-0 B1G) heads down south to play Coastal Carolina and NC State. Since the beginning of 2023, IU is 33-9 against non-Big Ten opponents. The Hoosiers are riding a three-game winning streak into the action in South Carolina. Second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager continues to raise her play as she develops into the team’s primary attacker this year. She averaged 4.67 kills per set while hitting .415 in a pair of sweeps against Cal Poly and Eastern Illinois at last weekend’s Indiana Invitational. She’s top 10 in the conference in kills per set (3.72) over the first seven matches of the season. Her second-year counterpart, setter Teodora Krickovic has raised the floor of her game as well. The Serbian guided IU’s offense to a pair of hitting percentages above .375 in the two wins in Bloomington. She has scored 36 points this season (23 kills, 7 aces and 12 blocks) while dishing out 10.28 assists per set. IU has entered conference play with at least seven wins in the previous four seasons. It can do so again with a pair of wins against Coastal Carolina and NC State over the weekend. The contest with the host Chanticleers is set for 6 p.m. this evening. The matchup with NC State (Sept. 19) is IU’s fifth against a power conference opponent this year.
A win Would Over Coastal Carolina would be the fourth-straight win on the season for the Hoosiers and the second in program history against Coastal Carolina. A win over NC State would be the fourth-straight year with a win over an ACC program. It would also be the third power-conference victory (Texas A&M, Georgia) of the year. A win over both would give IU at least seven wins heading into conference play for the fifth-straight year. On top of that, it would give IU a five-game winning streak heading into the Big Ten opener against UCLA. • The Hoosiers will meet Coastal Carolina and NC State before conference play begins next week. IU has finished .500 or better in each of the last four seasons – the program has won 82 games since 2022. Head coach Steve Aird’s group has won five of the last six games its played.
IU has been accustomed to playing teams from the ACC over the last few years. The program has won a game against an ACC team in three-consecutive seasons. That includes a pair of victories against Miami (Fla.) (2023, 2025) and one against Notre Dame (2024). IU really got its offense going in a pair of wins over Cal Poly and Eastern Illinois in Bloomington. The Hoosiers hit above .375 in each sweep over the weekend. Since the beginning of last year, IU has had 10 different matches where it has hit .375 in a victory. Second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager has picked up her play as the season gets rolling in 2026. She’s on a run of six-straight games with at least 10 kills, matching a career-long streak from last year. She averaged 4.67 kills per set while hitting .415 in two games at the Indiana Invitational.
If IU can pick up a pair of victories against Coastal Carolina and NC State this weekend, it will finish the non-conference portion of the schedule with a 7-2 record. It would be the fifth-straight season that the program heads into conference play with 7-or-more victories. IU’s service pressure has been really good over the last five years and has come to light this season. The Hoosiers have at least eight aces in four of the last five contests. Eight different players have an ace this year, led by nine from second-year libero Hannah Leftridge. Fifth-year middle blocker Kiki Granberry has reared her head as the best blocker on this year’s squad. She has a team-best 28 blocks (1.33 per set) in just six matches. Granberry has a pair of matches this season (vs. No. 12 Texas A&M, vs. Cal Poly) with seven blocks.
Second-year setter Teodora Krickovic is closing in on 1,500 career assists during her time in Bloomington. She would only be the 12th setter in program history to hit that plateau. The Serbian has 1,469 over the last two years and is averaging 10.64 assists per set in her career. Since the 2022 campaign (four-plus years), Indiana has racked up 82 wins under head coach Steve Aird. That includes at least 15 wins in each full season during that stretch. IU will be looking to reach that plateau again for the 5th-straight year in 2026.
Coastal Carolina (4-3, 0-0 Sun Belt)- The Chanticleers are coming off a week that saw them beat Wofford and lose to Tennessee. Coastal Carolina has been extremely balanced this year with seven players averaging between 1.83 and 3.00 kills per set. The team has spent time in a 6-2 offense. Setter Kaylee Musick is providing 7.18 assists per set. Coastal’s block has stepped up big this year. Hatteras Welker, a former standout at Eastern Michigan, has 32 total blocks (1.07) as part of a team that averages 2.37 rejections per set. Libero Jonna Spohn, who played against IU at Maryland, is at 4.30 digs per set early in the year. The brief history between these teams came in 2013 at a neutral site venue on the College of Charleston campus. IU won the lone meeting that season. IU has Sun Belt ties. Assistant coach Matt Kearns was the former head coach at Louisiana-Monroe in 2022 and 2023.
NC State (7-1, 0-0 ACC)- The Wolfpack have survived some early tests and are off to a great 7-1 start to the year. Outside hitter Britni Silver has carried a big load as a freshman and has turned in 3.90 kills per set (117 total) in her debut collegiate season. Silver had 20+ kills against Wofford (25) and LSU (22) this year. Another freshman, setter Eva Long, has been involved early in the proceedings for NC State. She is dishing out 10.43 assists per set (313 total) as her team hits .258 on the year. Five players have between 1.60 and 3.90 kills per set this season. Middle blocker Talia Francom is averaging 1.64 blocks per set.
IU and NC State have played once on each other’s home courts but will meet in a neutral venue for the first time. The Hoosiers have picked up a number of wins against teams from the league over the past few years including victories over Notre Dame (2024) and Miami (Fla.) (2023, 2025).
Caitlin Clark describes USA Basketball experience as a ‘pinch-me’ moment After a three-week break from WNBA action due to the FIBA World Cup games in Germany, Fever guard Caitlin Clark is back with the team after winning the gold medal alongside Aliyah Boston and Stephanie White with Team USA. After wrapping up the six-game slate capped off by Team USA’s 97-79 win over France in the gold medal game, Clark reflected on what she gained after spending the last few weeks with some of the best players in today’s game. “I think just being around people that are winners,” Clark said. “You learn the things that make them tick and the way they prepare for games. I think for myself it was really fun being around Stewie [Breanna Stewart]. Somebody that’s won at every single level she’s ever played at and won Olympic Golds and World Cup titles. I think her leadership and calming presence when you get in the moments that are really difficult.” With just four regular season games left on the schedule and the playoffs approaching in under two weeks, Clark described how her FIBA World Cup experience prepared her for what’s to come.
“The style and the physicality is a little bit different but I think at the same time, you’re trying to win,” Clark said. “It’s a 40-minute basketball game. That’s all the same. You only have one opportunity to do that. Things are going to go wrong. It’s how you adjust. How do you change things on the fly? For example, in the France game, we were down eleven, and then we were able to come back. I think it just shows no game is ever over. There’s going to be moments that are really good and moments that are really bad. How do you make up for those? How do you change those moments when things aren’t great?”
After representing Team USA in Europe, Clark described the experience as a “pinch me” moment, and something 16-year-old Clark would be forever grateful for. “It meant a lot,” Clark said. “I’ve worn the USA jersey at the junior national team level but getting to do it at the senior national team level. I remember those conversations when we were young, when we were 15 years old, playing my first time at U-16 USA Basketball and they talk about how only a couple of us will make our senior national team debut and there’s 120 kids standing in the room trying out to make the U-16 team. Now, to be one of those, it’s a pinch-me moment. It’s super cool and getting to be around people who have already won gold medals.” After returning to the practice court this week, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever hit the road to take on the Toronto Tempo tonight, September 18th.
Taylor University Stands Among NAIA’s Best with 20 Scholar-Teams The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced its list of 2025-2026 Scholar-Teams on Tuesday, with Taylor having each of its 20 varsity athletic teams earn the honor by posting a combined grade-point average of 3.0 and above for the 14th-straight year. Taylor was one-of-31 teams from the NAIA to have at least 20 Scholar-Teams recognized, and was one-of-seven institutions among that group to see 100-percent of their teams make the cut. The Trojans (20) joined Pikeville (24), Friends (22), Doane (22), Dordt (21), Mobile (21) and Idaho (20) on the list of top academic performers from the NAIA. Taylor further separated itself from its peers by being the only school among those seven to have all 20 teams post a combined GPA above the 3.20 mark.
In addition to having each of its 20 teams post a grade-point average over the 3.2 mark during the 2025-2026 year, Taylor had 18 teams come in over 3.3 and had 12 teams post a GPA of 3.5 and above. Women’s soccer and volleyball led the way at 3.79 and 3.77, with women’s soccer ranking 80th among all NAIA teams in all sports and volleyball sitting at 102nd. Taylor had 11 teams finish inside the top-25 academically in their respective sport, with six teams ending in the top-10 and the sports of men’s indoor track (No. 2), men’s outdoor track (No. 3), football (No. 3), men’s lacrosse (No. 5) and women’s soccer (No. 5) ending inside the top-five in their respective sports. Additionally, the Trojans posted the best team GPA in their league in six sports, with baseball, football, men’s indoor and outdoor track, volleyball and women’s soccer topping their league foes. The academic success paralleled TU’s terrific athletic success during the 2025-2026 year, as the Trojans secured their best-ever finish in the Learfield NAIA Director’s Cup Standings with a 14th-place finish.

Taylor University Men’s Soccer Receives Votes in NAIA Coaches’ Top 25 Poll For the first time in over a decade, the Taylor University men’s soccer team received votes in the NAIA Men’s Soccer Coaches’ Top 25 Poll. The Trojans entered the week tied for seventh nationally in goals (22) and ranked third in shutouts (5), riding an eight-match unbeaten streak that has carried them to a 6-1-2 record through the nonconference portion of the schedule. Taylor’s .778 win percentage through nine games is the program’s best since the 2011 squad opened 8-1 (.889). Four other seasons — 2025, 2021, 2014 and 2007 — also saw TU win six of its first nine matches, but each of those teams carried at least two losses over the same stretch.
The Trojans last received votes in the 2015 preseason poll, a nod that followed a 13-6 finish to the 2014 season in which TU also drew recognition in the receiving-votes section four separate times. TU’s last appearance inside the Top 25 came at the start of 2012, checking in at No. 20 in the preseason poll before moving to No. 21 in the first regular-season release. The Trojans’ 22 goals through nine matches also stand out historically. Over the previous 20 seasons of TU men’s soccer, only the 2014 and 2011 teams scored more than 20 goals through the first nine contests. The 2014 team scored 21 times while the historic 2011 squad tallied 29 goals.
Josh Byrd leads the team with four goals and two assists, while Roarke Watterson has driven the attack with a team-high seven assists to go with two goals of his own. Dafe Akpoguma and Luka Gole have each scored three goals, and goalkeeper Connor Shaw, the reigning Crossroads League Defensive Player of the Week, has anchored a defense that ranks among the national leaders in shutouts. Taylor returns to action Wednesday, Sept. 23, opening Crossroads League play on the road against No. 18 Bethel. The Pilots (3-2-2) are one of three CL teams ranked inside the Top 25, including No. 15 Indiana Wesleyan (4-1-2) and No. 20 Spring Arbor (7-0). Grace, Mount Vernon Nazarene and Marian also received votes.
