OUR NEW TEAMMATE/SISTER/FAMILY MEMBER!

We'd like to give a BIG, OFFICIAL welcome to our newest teammate!

This year we decided to take in a nine-year old girl named Rory Halbert. We had Rory on campus this past Tuesday (November 25th) from TeamIMPACT, so she could see what UIndy campus life was all about. 

In the process, she got to meet some of our teammates and coaches. 

Rory with Head Coach Kiley Cirillo, Junior Keki Elliot, Junior Jess Bentley, Assistant Coach Amanda Mason, Sophomore Hannah Mangus, and Assistant Coach Ryan Baca (That was a mouthful.)

She fit right in with the personalities of the team and she is ready to be a Greyhound (well technically, she's not a greyhound, she's a human, as she stated during lunch in the good ol' Schwitz caf). 

Jess has found her mini-me... uh oh.

We can't wait for her to return this winter, and it all becomes official when she signs her letter of intent on National Signing Day February 4th, 2015. 

In the meantime, we'll be taking her to basketball games and other team bonding activities.
Again, as a fellow super-fan of The Lego Movie, I cannot wait to meet you, Rory! The rest of us are just as excited to start this journey with you. 

Thank you for letting us be a part of your life, and we are so happy to have you in our family!

Updates to come for Rory and the team, stay tuned!

GO HOUNDS!

Fall Season Re-Cap

Hey there UIndy Women's soccer fans!

With the semester wrapping up and the season coming to a close, there are a few updates you may have missed since I've been incognito during the fall (my apologies).

 

Supporting the football team at Homecoming!

         We ended the season 5-9-4 overall and 4-7-4 in conference. Unfortunately we had some matches that did not turn out the way we wanted to, but this just means that we have all the more to prove going into the next season!

        Despite what the outcome looked like, this season was full of heart, passion, integrity and we still conquered as a family. United. As one. #Familyship (borrowing this from the men's team for a second).

Keki's not ready for season to end!

          Going into the spring, we've had a change of pace. I am going to use this post to commemorate the seniors that we lost. Megan Fee, Tracie Meyer, Stacey Klene, Kara Webb, Katie Johnston and Katie Crump were the rocks on which our team was built this year. They were all leaders, on and off the field. Without the six of you, we would not have been able to survive the season. Thank you for making our program better, only because you were here to lead us through adversity. We love you guys! Go take on the real world now! Our cute little pups, all grown up! (I'm trying not to shed a couple of tears...) 

 

Our lovely seniors... s'cute! 

Even though we lost some great teammates on the field, they'll be forever with us in our hearts! However, there's still work to do. The 2014 squad has only begun their journey. With our freshmen showing initiative and the rest of the team ready to work we're headed in the right direction for the upcoming spring season.

Some of the plans for Winter and Spring include:
1. Assisting a family who's home perished in a fire. Hannah Mangus is spearheading our mission to assist the family in any way we can and giving them the holiday season they do not think they will get. There will be updates on this activity soon!
2. We've got a new member in our soccer family! Rory Halbert! Welcome! There's an entire post dedicated to her and how excited we are to have her coming shortly as well.

Stay tuned for some big things ahead. Even I'm too excited to stand it!

GO HOUNDS!
