在上个赛季的八场比赛中，女子足球队只进了两个球。二年级的Stacey Peterson和二年级的Kate Kastl在近25天内的得分都是IU的。进攻停滞不前。但在这八场比赛中，IU的战绩是0-4-4，除了一场比赛外，其他比赛都参加了，那就是以3-0输给了十大锦标赛冠军密歇根大学。结果本可能会更糟，但防守让印第安人紧紧抓住了他们，特别是前守门员阿什利·戴维斯伸出的双臂。在她防守球网的两年时间里，戴维斯为印第安人队统治着球队，在40场比赛中平均每场进球1.07个，并保持着球队的不败战绩和胜利。但是，随着戴维斯毕业离开，教练乔·凯利在2000赛季有一个很大的空缺要填补。在周六的揭幕战中，高年级的Chrissy Heubi补上了这一漏洞，在泽维尔3-0的比赛中完成了5次出手。“她做了她必须做的扑救，”凯利事后说。“她不需要做太多，但当我们需要她的时候，她站出来了。“她活该被拒之门外。”这只是她的第二次首发，这场比赛对霍比来说显然是特别的，但对阵火枪手的比赛让她的成绩更甜美了一些。“泽维尔是我的竞争对手，”休比说。“我来自辛辛那提，我在高中时和他们很多球队打过比赛，所以这是一件大事。”当休比在90分钟内控制住泽维尔队的进攻时，印第安纳队的中场和前锋用他们的速度、控制节奏和控球控制了火枪手队。凯利说:“在他们的射击中，只有一枪是危险的。” "From the very beginning, we dominated this game and that's a credit to the entire team."\nIn fact, it wasn't until after freshman Emily Hotz's second goal of the game coming in the 33rd minute of the first half that Xavier mounted its first scoring chance when Heubi made a pair of nice saves on Xavier's Annette Gruber and Margaret Broe.\nHotz helped squelch the pressure on Heubi early on when she found free space in the box in the third minute of the first half and redirected a perfect cross from Peterson past Xavier keeper Megan Veith.\n"That was big," Heubi said. "To get a goal that quick really set the tone for the entire game."\nAnd what might set the tone for the season is a supposed weakness in the IU lineup, Heubi, turned out to be a strength for 90 perfect minutes Saturday.\n"If (Heubi's) our weakness," said junior midfielder Kelly Kram, the team's returning leading scorer, "it's a great weakness"
