MINNEAPOLIS — Sophomore Austin Cangelosi tossed his bat toward the dugout, a symbol of not only his frustration, but the frustration of all the Hoosiers on Wednesday. Cangelosi had just popped out weakly to Michigan closer Jacob Cronenworth, finalizing a 4-1 defeat to the Wolverines in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. IU managed just four hits in the game, none with runners in scoring position. “I would have liked to have seen us compete a little bit more offensively, get a big hit,” IU Coach Chris Lemonis said. “I felt like there was times in the middle of the game where we needed to get the run in from third with less than two outs, get an RBI hit. But we

just couldn’t get that big hit today.” Three times the Hoosiers had a runner on second base with nobody out. Twice the Hoosiers had runners on first and second with nobody out. But aside from the seventh inning, when IU managed its lone run on an RBI groundout, nothing came of these situations. In the fifth inning, freshman outfielder Logan Sowers led off the inning with a double down the left field line for IU’s first hit of the game. What followed were two groundouts and a flyout to strand Sowers in scoring position. It was the most pressure the Hoosiers would put on Michigan starting pitcher Brett Adcock all game. Adcock won his ninth game of the season after pitching 6.1 innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out six Hoosiers. “He was just throwing a lot of first pitch fastballs for strikes, and we just were watching them,” Sowers said.

“We just weren’t swinging the bat. We just have to do a better job of jumping on fastballs early.” Sowers had two of IU’s four hits Wednesday, with both coming against Adcock. In the seventh inning, Sowers led off the inning with a single to right field against Adcock, who was chased from the game later in the inning. Sowers scored the only run for the Hoosiers later in the inning, but considering the situation, IU could have had more. Senior Luke Harrison started on the mound for the Hoosiers, pitching four innings while allowing three hits on 63 pitches. But one of those pitches was a curveball left up to Michigan’s Johnny Slater. A curveball that allowed three Wolverines to cross the plate. “I threw him a curveball and just

Judge Judith Stewart granted Daniel Messel $3,000 to hire an investigator in a Brown County Circuit Court hearing Wednesday. Messel is charged with one count of murder for the death of IU senior Hannah Wilson, who was found dead in the early morning of April 24. Messel again appeared in court by video conference. At his initial hearing in April, Messel also appeared by video conference. His defense attorney, Dorie Maryan, said there isn’t a reason for this procedure. Maryan filed for the funds for an investigator after requesting Messel’s bail hearing scheduled for May 15 to be vacated. Maryan originally asked for $5,000 to $10,000 to hire an investigator. This amount was based on a best estimate after speaking to two investigators in the area, Maryan said. She said the $10,000 would be an estimate for the highest potential cost for a trial like Messel’s, and $5,000 would be the average. Prosecutor Ted Adams expressed a desire for Messel to have a fair trial but that given limited county funds, a bidding process might be best to determine the amount of money granted. He said $5,000 to $10,000 is on the extreme high end for an investigator based on his experiences. Stewart said she didn’t see the need for a bidding process but granted Messel a capped amount of $3,000. More money could be granted down the road if more funds are needed and the defense files for an increased cap, Stewart said. At the end of the hearing, Stewart asked if Maryan was still on track for the July 22 court date. “I anticipate that that is unlikely,” Maryan said. No official trial date changes have been made yet, but Adams said he doesn’t anticipate any objection to pushing back the date. Suzanne Grossman

When Chelsea Faver walked onto IU’s campus, she became an independent adult. Not the “I can eat ice cream for dinner and stay up until 5 a.m.” kind of independent. The real kind. A recent graduate of Indiana’s foster care system, the only person responsible for her well-being was her. “You don’t just magically become mature and able to take care of yourself just because you turn 18,” Faver said. “My education counselor at the group home drove me up from Evansville, said, ‘Here you go,’ and that was it.” Luckily, Faver was a part of IU’s Groups Scholars Program. The program is specifically designed for students who are the first in their family to attend college, come from low-income families or are physically challenged. “They really try to look out for you that first year that you come to school,” Faver said. “That’s really a big part of how I managed to stay grounded, because it’s a really fantastic program, and they looked out for us.” Many of the other nine girls who Faver lived with in the group home were not so lucky. A lot of them did not finish school and have already

had children. “That’s really one of the biggest motivators that I have to try and push for more stability for kids after they age out,” she said. “It’s really hard to see. They’re doing all right, but none of them have finished college or are working full time. They’re doing the best they can, but a lot of them had more struggles than I did.” They are not alone. Only 4 percent of people who age out of foster care are able to earn a four-year college degree before their 26th birthday, according to research done by the University of Chicago in 2013. High percentages of these youth end up homeless, unemployed or struggling with addiction. Faver was able to beat those odds. She graduated with a U.S. history degree and was accepted into the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in Indianapolis. She is currently pursuing her Juris Doctor and serving as a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Once she is finished with law school, she will become a judge advocate for the the Marine Corps, but she’s not waiting until graduation to start making a difference. In college, Faver began SEE FAVER, PAGE6
