Indiana University Softball Heads to Knoxville for the NCAA Regional\u00a0<\/strong> Indiana will play in its fourth-straight NCAA Tournament this weekend in the NCAA Knoxville Regional at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. Regional host and No. 1 Seed Tennessee is the No. 7 overall national seed of the entire tournament. The Hoosiers are the No. 3 Seed of the region, alongside No. 2 Seed Virginia, No. 4 Seed Northern Kentucky. Indiana will open regional play against Virginia tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPN. The start of Indiana\u2019s current NCAA Tournament streak began with a 2023 Regional appearance in Knoxville where Indiana reached the regional final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IU’s offense ranks top-15 nationally in many statistical categories: No. 12 Batting Average (.349), No. 4 On Base Percentage (.454), No. 7 RBI (410), No. 5 Scoring (8.00), No. 1 Hit By Pitch (72), No. 4 Total Runs (448), No. 4 Stolen Bases (128), No. 4 Triples (25). At the Big Ten Tournament, Indiana defeated Washington 9-2 to reach the semifinals for the third time in the last four years. The Hoosiers then heard their name called for the fourth-straight season on Selection Sunday. Avery Parker became the program’s career home run leader last weekend when she hit home run No. 46 at Iowa on April 19 and since then has hit seven home runs to bring her career total to 53. Of Indiana’s 42 wins this year, 21 of them have been by run rule. Against Portland State in the Littlewood Invitational (Feb. 12), VanBrandt hit for the cycle as part of a 5-for-5 day where she also totaled two home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana had a good showing at the Big Ten Tournament. After having a bye in the first round as the No. 4 Seed, Indiana routed No. 5 Seed Washington in a 9-2 win in the quarterfinals before reaching the tournament’s semifinals. No. 1 Seed Nebraska won that game 5-0. In the win over Washington, both Aly VanBrandt and Alex Cooper each hit a home run. VanBrandt’s came in the third inning while Cooper’s sealed the win in the bottom of the sixth. In that game, Parker became the career RBI leader with her hit to shortstop, scoring two Hoosiers and putting her career total at 206 RBI. Ella Troutt was excellent in the circle as she went 5.0 innings and only allowed four hits and two runs in the win. Indiana’s Alex Cooper, Madalyn Strader and Aly VanBrandt all earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virginia enters the regional with a 38-13 record and a 13-10 mark in ACC play. The Cavaliers are in the NCAA Tournament for the third-straight year and the fourth time in its program’s history. They won their first ACC Tournament against Pittsburgh before losing to Virginia Tech in the quarterfinal. Tennessee is making its 23rd overall and 22nd straight NCAA Tournament appearance this weekend. They have hosted 21 straight regional rounds in Knoxville. The Lady Vols have a 42-10 record and were 16-8 in the SEC. They dropped their first game in the SEC Tournament in a 4-1 loss to Ole Miss. Tennessee’s Karlyn Pickens was drafted No. 1 overall by the Carolina Blaze in the 2026 AUSL College Draft on Monday, May 3. Northern Kentucky is 26-23 and won the Horizon League Championship to clinch their NCAA bid. Indiana owns an all-time record of 2-1 against Virginia with the last meeting being in 2019. Indiana and Tennessee have met six times in their program histories with Tennessee having a 6-0 record in the series. Indiana and Northern Kentucky have never faced one another in softball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Women’s Golfer Sheridan Clancy Advances to the NCAA Championships <\/strong> Indiana University Women’s Golfer Sheridan Clancy finished Second in the NCAA Regional at the University of Louisville Golf Course in Simpsonville, Kentucky on Wednesday and will advance to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad California. Clancy was the highest individual not on an advancing team finishing with a score of 207 which is -9 under par one stroke back of Individual Champion Anna Davis of Auburn. Clancy tied for the program’s low mark through 36 holes (135), tied for the sixth-lowest single round score (67 in the second), and shot the third-lowest 54-hole score (207). She is the fourth Hoosier to advance to the NCAA Championships as an individual and first since Erin Harper (2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana finished 8th in the team standings with a three round score of 867 which is 3 over par. Auburn won the regional with a team score of 847 which was -17 under par. Houston finished second at 11 under par. Arkansas third at 10 under par. Iowa State and Ole Miss tied for fourth at 9 under par and all five teams advanced to the NCAA Championships later this month.

Aiden Fisher Signs his Rookie Contract with the Houston Texans <\/strong> Former IU linebacker Aiden Fisher has signed with the Houston Texans, the team announced this week. Fisher was selected in the seventh round by Houston in last month\u2019s NFL Draft. According to Spotrac, Fisher signed a 4 year, $4,507,576 contract with the Texans, including a $127,576 signing bonus, $127,576 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,126,894. In 2026, Fisher will earn a base salary of $885,000 and the signing bonus of $127,576. The Texans took Fisher with the 243rd pick.  He was the first IU player drafted by the franchise, and his selection marked an all-time Indiana record for players chosen in an NFL Draft. He\u2019s wearing No. 59 in spring activities with Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fisher was Indiana\u2019s primary leader on and off the field ever since Curt Cignetti took over in December 2023.  Like Cignetti, he came to IU from James Madison. Fisher led the Hoosiers with 118 tackles in 2024 and finished second in 2025 with 97. The Fredericksburg, Va. native recorded 10.5 tackles for loss as a senior this past season, with 5.5 in 2024. He came up with two interceptions in 2025, including an early pick six against UCLA, as well as one forced fumble. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to put into words how important he\u2019s been,\u201d Indiana defensive coordinator Bryant Haines said of Fisher. \u201cHe\u2019s part of the culture change here. He\u2019s part of my voice, my mouthpiece to the guys on the field. He\u2019s the green dot. He\u2019s the leader. He\u2019s the unquestioned leader.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including his two seasons at James Madison, he appeared in 51 career games with 39 starts. He became Indiana\u2019s first-ever first-team All-America linebacker in 2024 (FWAA, Phil Steele), the first-ever Hoosier defender to earn multiple first-team All-America nods and first back-to-back first-team All-American since offensive lineman Dan Feeney (2015-16). He becomes the fifth Hoosier to sign his rookie contract joining Pat Coogan of the Tennessee Titans, D’Angelo Ponds of the New York Jets, Riley Nowakowski of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kaelon Black of the San Francisco. Three Hoosiers have not signed their contracts including number 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza of the Las Vegas Raiders, Omar Cooper Jr. of the New York Jets and Elijah Sarratt of the Baltimore Ravens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local TV Blackout Lifted for the Indianapolis 500 For the Second Year in Row after Reserved Grandstand Seating Sells Out<\/strong> Reserved seating for the Indianapolis 500 on May 24 will be sold out for the second consecutive year, and the local television broadcast delay will be lifted again. The final reserved seating tickets were expected to be sold on Wednesday, said a news release from Amanda Stanley, communications director at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This year\u2019s sellout happened a week earlier than last year\u2019s. The grandstands also sold out in 2016, the 100th edition of the race. The track is estimated to have about 350,000 reserved seats. Resale reserved-seating tickets remained available on Wednesday. The race also sold out in 2021, when the race was limited to 135,000 fans due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race was first locally broadcast in 1949 and 1950 on WFBM-TV, the progenitor of WRTV, as a way to induce sales of TV sets. The speedway, however, worried that gate receipts would drop and ended the local live-TV coverage. But the race continued to be broadcast live on the radio and, from 1964 to 1970, on closed-circuit TV watched in theaters around the nation. Nationwide live-TV broadcasts of the race began in 1986, but they were blacked out locally, usually to be aired hours later. The 500 didn\u2019t air on TV again in Indianapolis until the sellout of 2016, which was the 100th edition of the race, and in 2020 and 2021 due to capacity restrictions due to the coronavirus. It also aired live in 2025 due to the sellout. This Year’s Indy 500 will be Televised on FOX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cailtin Clark Scores 24 Points to lead the Indiana Fever to their First Win of the Season over the Los Angeles Sparks <\/strong>  Caitlin Clark had 24 points and nine assists, Kelsey Mitchell added 23 points, and the Indiana Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks 87-78 on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles went on an 11-3 run, capped by a shot in the lane by Kelsey Plum, to pull within 83-76 with 1:23 left. After an Indiana turnover, Plum missed an open 3-pointer from the corner. Clark found Mitchell on an inbounds pass for a layup to give Indiana an 85-76 lead with 33.2 left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophie Cunningham added 12 points and Monique Billings had nine points and eight rebounds in her regular-season debut for Indiana (1-1). Aliyah Boston had four points and seven rebounds before fouling out with 3:32 left in the fourth. Myisha Hines-Allen reached 500 career assists.

Starter Ariel Atkins played 16 minutes before leaving with a head injury. Indiana led 48-34 at halftime behind 17 points from Mitchell and 11 by Clark. Mitchell was 7 of 9 from the field to help the Fever shoot 56%. The Fever are back in action tonight at 7:30 PM hosting the Washington Mystics with the game nationally televised on ION. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indy Car Driver Katherine Legge to Attempt ‘The Double’ Later this Month  <\/strong>  Katherine Legge is going to attempt \u201cThe Double\u201d later this month. Legge will try to run the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day \u2014 May 24. The green flag will fly at the Indy 500 in Speedway at 12:45 p.m. The Coca-Cola 600 \u2014 a NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina \u2014 will start at 6 p.m. Only five drivers have ever attempted to run both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day. Legge will join John Andretti, Robby Gordon, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson on the list of drivers who have tried \u201cThe Double.\u201d Legge is also poised to become the first woman to ever attempt \u201cThe Double.\u201d Legge is one of just nine women to ever compete in the Indy 500. \u201cVery few drivers ever get the opportunity to attempt \u2018The Double,\u2019 and I do not take that opportunity lightly,\u201d Legge wrote in a prepared statement. \u201cThis challenge is about pushing through perceived limits, betting on yourself., taking risks and trying to do something unique. I am so incredibly grateful to e.l.f. Cosmetics for believing in what this moment represents and for building a community around it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewart is the only driver to successfully complete both races in one day. In 2001, Stewart finished 6th and 3rd in the Indy 500 and Coke 600, respectively. Larson is the last driver to attempt \u201cThe Double.\u201d He tried to run the Indy 500 and Coke 600 in both 2024 and 2025. Larson crashed in both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 in 2025, failing to finish either race. In 2024, Larson completed the Indy 500 but missed the start of the Coke 600 due to rain. Justin Allgaier drove the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in Larson\u2019s place. Legge is one of six one-off drivers competing in this year\u2019s Indy 500. Helio Castroneves, Takuma Sato, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Ed Carpenter, Conor Daly, Jack Harvey and Jacob Abel are the other one-off drivers in this year’s race. Legge will be driving the No. 11 e.l.f Cosmetics Chevrolet for HMD Motorsports and A.J. Foyt Racing during the Indy 500. Legge made her first start in a NASCAR Cup Series race last weekend at Watkins Glen International in New York. The team Legge drove for was Live Fast Motorsports. She finished 35th in the 38-driver race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
