Introducing the 5 Newest Hound Pups!

Our family has grown this week with the addition of five incoming freshman who signed on National Signing Day. Liz Behrends of Noblesville, IN, Jocelyn Evans of Cincinnati, OH, Jenna Linxwiler from Greenwood, IN, Hannah Mangus of Noblesville, IN, and Whitney Whitehouse from Cary, IL are the newest pups to join the Women's Soccer Team!

The team and I are very excited to welcome this talented group of girls on campus in the fall and hit the ground running! [literally... :)]. I've been lucky enough to meet most of these girls, and I have no doubt that they will bring a lot dedication and passion to our team, and will definitely contribute both on and off the field in our pursuit of a National Championship. Our 2013 preseason schedule is coming along great, and we will open up play on the second day of preseason at Indiana Wesleyan, who's always a strong opponent. Regular season opens up September 6th with a home match against Ashland! I'm already getting goosebumps!

Again, to all the incoming freshman, WELCOME! We're so happy you've decided to bring your talents to UIndy, and we look forward to meeting you in the fall. If you've got any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact me or any of the girls on the team. Good luck finishing up your senior years and club seasons, see you in the fall!!

Go Hounds!!

Updates and Schedules

The UIndy Women's Soccer Team got the BEST letter in the mail recently. Tom Sermanni, the women's national team head coach that we trained with a couple weeks ago, sent us a hand written letter thanking us for participating in the session at the NSCAA Convention. I'm very proud of my team's performance, and we are honored to have gotten this opportunity that very few have gotten. Thanks to Coach Sermanni for allowing us to participate and for his support of the UIndy Women's Soccer Team!!


HOW COOL IS THIS?!

Even after this training session, the 2013 spring season has continued to go extremely well for us. I've honestly be so proud of my team lately. All of our hard work is really coming together both on and off the field. We are making great improvements in the weight room and in fitness sessions, and we also obtained the highest team GPA last semester out of all the women's sports teams on campus! We've got several community service projects in the works, and we've recently committed five new talented incoming freshmen. Feels great to be a Hound!

Our 2013 spring game schedule is also being finalized. Coach Kiley announced this week that we will play four Division I schools away this year including Ball State, IUPUI, Butler, and Xavier, in addition to our alumni game on April 20th at Key Stadium. Stay tuned for exact dates and times to be posted ASAP!

Go Hounds!
