Redbirds Win Third-Straight Coughlan-Malloy Cup
NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State track & field lifted the Coughlan-Malloy Cup trophy for the third-straight year, topping Indiana State, 186-138, on Friday night inside Horton Field House.
The Coughlan-Malloy Cup is unique in that the men's and women's team scores are combined into an overall score and the team with the highest combined total wins the traveling trophy. The Redbirds' victory marks the fourth time in the 16-year history that Illinois State has taken home the title and the first time that win has come inside Horton Field House.
The men's team had six individuals win seven events. Newcomer Eddie Winner (Tel Aviv, ISRAEL) broke a six-year meet record in the men's pole vault, clearing 5.06 meters (16-07.25) to win the event and remove yet another Indiana State record.

LOS
ANGELES, CALIF. — The No. 3 USC men's tennis team will print tickets to ITA
National Team Indoor Championships for the 12th straight year thanks to another
shutout win on ITA Kickoff Weekend at Marks Stadium. Up against an upset-minded
Santa Clara squad, the Trojans quieted the Broncos with a swift move to the
doubles point followed by a string of straight-set singles wins — clinched
again by Daniel
Cukierman (Tel Aviv, ISRAEL) — to net a 4-0 win today at Marks
Stadium.
USC's doubles duo of Stefan
Dostanic and Bradley
Frye set the scene, silencing their SCU opponents 6-0 on court three to
kick things off. Next, Mor Bulis (Petach
Tikva, ISRAEL) and Ryder
Jackson roared to a 6-3 win on court two, and USC was in the books with
a 1-0 advantage. The Broncos snagged first sets on two courts, but the Trojans
were in solid shape otherwise. Frye continued his hot streak, pumping out a
6-1, 6-0 win on court six over Nick Cmager to get USC a 2-0 lead. It was a
winning day for #9 Bulis as well, who followed up his doubles win with a smooth
6-1, 6-1 victory over Vasilelos Iliopoulos on court three to tee up
Cukierman for another clincher. The top-ranked Trojan hit the finish line with
his 6-4, 6-2 win over Arthur Neuhaus on court one to round out the weekend's
work for the Trojans and lock in another victorious ITA Kickoff Weekend for
USC.
