Final Earnings for Free2Play Campaign

At the end of our 2012 soccer season, we had scored a total of 27 goals. From all of the pledges combined, we raised $32.25 for each goal scored this season! This brings our grand total to $870.75! This is an incredible amount of money to have raised by playing the sport we love so much. Our team was unified by this passion to end slavery, and we are very grateful and proud that we had the opportunity to use our position as collegiate athletes to bring awareness to such a worthy cause. To all those who pledged this season, THANK YOU SO MUCH! We appreciate your support and sacrifice more than just a simple "thank you" can express.

For those who have pledged, you can make checks payable to University of Indianapolis Women's Soccer. They can be mailed to the following address:

University of Indianapolis Women's Soccer

1400 East Hanna Avenue

Indianapolis, IN 46227

Again, on behalf of the team and coaching staff, thank you so much for supporting our fight to end slavery!

Love,

Kait #5 and Abby #25

Honoring Our Seniors

Today was a day filled with extra inspiration for the Hounds. Not only did we continue to pledge money for Free2Play as we have all season long, but we also designated this game our Pink Game for breast cancer awareness in addition to honoring our seniors in a day filled with senior recognition. For the past four years, the UIndy Women's Soccer Program has been blessed by the hard work and commitment of four very talented and dedicated athletes, and this was our day to show them our appreciation. We were also very lucky this season to have our senior athletic trainer, Greg, join our family. He has sacrificed countless hours to keep us healthy and ready to compete, and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Greg,
On behalf of the team, we apologize for being such a high maintenance team :) hahahah. In all sincereity though, we wish you all the best in your future, both in grad school and beyond. The next team you get to work with is so blessed to have a trainer who is so commited to seeing his athletes improve and so invested in the program. Thank you for everything you have done for us, it has not gone unnoticed!

Presenting Greg with his gift from the team!

Senior day consisted of a senior recognition before the game and a banquet held afterwards. Nicole Duncan and Megan Fee worked hard to put together a video for the seniors full of pictures and memories from their four years as Greyhounds both on and off the field. It also included a personal section towards the end where a personal message was spoken about Nell, Haley, Brea, and Conway. There were a lot of laughs and tears as we celebrated the careers of our 4 older sisters.

The seniors and their families :)

Nell, Haley, Conway, and Brea,

We think we speak for the whole team when we say that it's been an absolute joy and honor to play with you all for the past 3 years. The memories we have made with you will be ones we will hold onto forever, and we hope you know how much we will truly miss you next year. Without you four, our program would not be where it is today. Thank you so so much for the years of dedication, sacrifice, traditions, and family you have created for our team to carry with us into the future. We know that no matter what you face in life, success will surely find you. Thank you for everything, you all are truly amazing people with bright futures ahead of you!

With all our love,

Kait #5, Abby #25, and the rest of your hound pup sisters
