METRO ROUNDUP: Rain forces postponement of Jim Hurtubise Classic

STAFF REPORT The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — Rain and the chance of inclement weather forced postponement of the Jim Hurtubise Classic scheduled for Saturday evening at the Terre Haute Action Track.

The U.S. Auto Club sprint-car race has been rescheduled as part of a USAC doubleheader with the Sumar Classic for Silver Crown cars Oct. 12.

Friday’s sprint-car race scheduled for Friday in Illinois also was called because of rain and will be rescheduled in October.

• Sycamores fall — Inside the ISU Arena, junior Molly Murphy had 15 kills and nine digs for Indiana State, but that was not enough to give ISU the win as they fell 3-1 to the Ramblers of Loyola Saturday in the Jessica Barkman Classic.

The Sycamores found themselves in an early hole as the Ramblers jumped out to an 11-7 lead. The Sycamore offenes battle back to tie the game at 14-14 off a Rambler service error.

Both teams battled back and forth and the Sycamores eventually took a 24-22 lead at the end of the first game. Despite having two chances at set point, the Ramblers held on and eventually beat the Sycamores 26-24.

The Sycamores responded in the second game, winning 25-21 with three straight kills by Murphy and senior Shea Doran.

In the third game, the Ramblers got ahead early and the Sycamores could never find their rhythm as they fell to Loyola 25-14.

Again in the fourth game, the Sycamores got down early before coming back to tie the game at 7. The Ramblers then scored the next eight points to jump out to a 15-7 lead over the Sycamores. Once again, the Sycamores responded as they cut the Ramblers’ lead to 20-16 late in the game.

The Sycamores were not able to get any closer, however, as they dropped the game 25-19 and the match 3-1.

Murphy led the Sycamores with 15 kills, while junior Loni Mackinson added 21 assists and freshman Ashlen Buck had 11 digs.

The Sycamores were slated to play their second match of the Jessica Barkman Classic on Saturday night against SIU Edwardsville.
