• Tabet coaching both teams — The Indiana State women’s team will participate in the Hoosier Classic at Bloomington this weekend.

“Our players had a pretty positive tournament at Western Michigan,” coach Malik Tabet said. “We have addressed some of the issues that we saw there and I am hoping that the girls will

apply these changes at the Indiana tournament.”

With men’s coach Jonas Piibor departing to take a job as associate head coach at the University of Oregon, Tabet will have double duty by coaching the men’s team. The Sycamore men will compete at Ball State this weekend in the Ball State Invitational.

“It will be interesting to see how the players will compete this weekend,” Tabet said. “I am going to evaluate the team during this tournament and see what needs to be worked on and then set up a training schedule for the rest of the fall season.”
