calloped potato, spiced cherry, toasted s’mores and Hawaiian sweet potato. With roughly 40 pies vying for a winning spot Sunday, the Bloomington Pie Contest judges had their work cut out for them. About 140 people came to Dimension Mill for the Bloomington Pie Contest, the first competition of its kind in town. The contest doubled as a fundraiser for the Community Kitchen of Monroe County. Rachel Glago, whose favorite pie flavor is pecan, organized the event after seeing some of her friends do a similar event in Santa Barbara, California. She said she wanted to bring the event to Bloomington. With Thanksgiving coming up, the time of the year fit the occasion. “Pie makes sense,” she said. “And who doesn’t love pie?” Glago said she supports Community Kitchen’s mission to fight food insecurity, and she wants all of Bloomington to be aware of local issues and the organizations addressing them. The contest raised more than $1,200 for Community Kitchen, enough to provide about 600 meals, she said. The contest was split into five categories: sweet, savory, gluten-free, pies made by kids and people’s choice. Amy Roche, 51, helped judge the sweet pies at the contest. Roche is a professional baker starting her own pie business and has been making pies since she was a child. She tasted the pies with the best presentation first.

“I think it’s important for a pie to be tantalizing,” Roche said. “It can kind of spark your appetite.” Roche said the textures of the crust and filling can make or break a pie. She also looked for creativity and balance of flavors. Roche’s favorite pies included a blackberry buttermilk custard tart, caramel apple crumb pie and apple rhubarb ginger pie. Alex Henderson, 28, doesn’t bake pies, but he said he likes sweets and trying new foods. “This seemed like a good combination of all those things,” he said.
After trying most of the pies, Henderson’s top three pies were the Hawaiian sweet potato pie, shepherd’s pie and spiced cherry pie. Eli Parker-Reyes, 30, came with Henderson to the event. He said he hadn’t tasted a single bad pie, but he was concerned for people with dietary restrictions. “It’s a good event, but an improvement would be requiring an ingredients list for all pies,” he said. Hannah Gooding, 26, and her sister Rebeccah Collingsworth, 27, were the winners SEE PIE , PAGE 4
For the 16th time in program history, Indiana men’s soccer has clinched the Big Ten regular season title by defeating Michigan State 1-0. This also marks the first time since 2007 that the Hoosiers have won back-to-back regular season titles. Entering the final day of the conference schedule, IU and Penn State were the lone Big Ten teams vying for the conference crown. All IU needed to do was force a draw or secure a win against Michigan State on Sunday afternoon to cement its title hopes. A loss, however, would’ve given the Nittany Lions an opportunity to seal the deal with a win of their own against Rutgers. IU coach Todd Yeagley has been in this position countless times before, both in his playing career and as a coach, but none were with the circumstances of this season. After losing 10 of 11 starters from last season, Yeagley found a way to create continuity and stability with an incredibly young stable of players. Led by IU sophomore defender Jack Maher, the Hoosiers kept finding ways to win all season, even through bouts of inexperience. When it mattered most, it was Maher who capped off the Hoosiers’ historic season. A costly foul on IU freshman forward Victor Bezerra gave way to Maher’s crucial penalty kick that ended up being all the Hoosiers needed to down the Spartans. It was fitting that in the games’ biggest moments Sunday, it was IU’s underclassmen who shined brightest. Whether it was IU freshman forward Maouloune Goumballe making crucial runs on offense, or IU freshman defender Daniel Munie clearing potential goals on defense, IU’s youngsters SEE SOCCER, PAGE 4

Penix briefly returns in win over Northwestern By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08
IU football attempted to run out the clock as it finished off Northwestern for a 34-3 victory, but it wasn’t the same Hoosier quarterback on the field that started the game. Redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made his sixth start of the season Saturday after missing last week’s win at Nebraska. Before halftime, however, Penix exited the game with an injury and failed to return for the third time this season. “He (Penix) was the starter, and as soon as he’s healthy to play, then he would come back and be the starter when he was able to go, and he was able to go this week,” IU head coach Tom Allen said. “He got dinged up before half, so we’ll know more about that tomorrow.” Thanks to three turnovers and a number of costly penalties from the Wildcats, the Hoosier offense was able to work with favorable field position in the first half. Penix led IU to scoring plays on four of his five drives in the game. Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey took over as signal-caller with a 24-3 lead, but once he subbed in, IU’s offense went cold. Despite crossing midfield twice, Ramsey’s first three drives ended with the Hoosiers punting the ball away to the Wildcats. IU leaned more on sophomore running back Stevie Scott and the rush attack in the second half, but Ramsey made plays when he had

to. The junior finished 7-of-10 passing for 108 yards and a touchdown that Scott took 20 yards to the house. “It’s not too difficult for us,” fifthyear receiver Nick Westbrook said of this season’s mid-game changes at quarterback. “At the end of the day it’s still our same scheme, same
Allen’s defense didn’t force any second-half takeaways but managed to keep Northwestern’s offense on its half of the field for the entirety of the third and fourth quarters. The Hoosiers have limited opponents to no more than one scoring play in four of their nine games, but
Allen said the defense badly wanted its third shutout of the season. “It’s hard to get shutouts,” Allen said. “It’s hard to hold a team to three points. It’s hard to hold people to even seven, 10 points anymore. I thought Kane Wommack did a phenomenal job calling the defense today.” The Hoosiers picked up their fourth-straight win Saturday, a SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 4
A physical altercation between two men led to gunfire in a parking lot near the Village apartment complex, and one of the men was taken to the hospital with a bullet wound. Bloomington Police Department received a call about 12:28 a.m. Friday from witnesses who said they saw a physical altercation and a shooting at 507 S. Muller Parkway. BPD Lt. John Kovach said the witnesses who saw the incident described two men in a physical altercation. Kovach said one of the people pulled a handgun and pointed it at the other man. The man ran to a nearby car and got into the passenger seat. The man with the handgun began firing rounds at the car as it drove away. The gunman then got into a darkcolored vehicle and drove away from the scene. Kovach said BPD received a call from a hospital stating a man arrived with a bullet wound in his head. Kovach said this was the same person who had fled the scene in the car the man was firing rounds at. Kovach said when BPD questioned the man who was shot, he denied being in a physical altercation and said he and his friend were sitting in a car in the parking lot and heard gunshots. He said they began to drive away and one of the bullets hit him in the head. The person who was in the car with the man gave the same story. The victim was released from the hospital this morning with the bullet still in his head, Kovach said. Kovach said the witnesses did not know either of the men involved and that they were not involved in the incident. Kovach said the suspect has yet to be identified, but there is no active threat.
