Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Alright, is everyone ready?!
 
February 4th, 2015 was National Signing Day for those interested in pursuing college athletics, and we are lucky to say that we have had (so far) ten people to sign on to our program, and our eleventh member who we have had much anticipation around, Rory!

Michele Govern, Emma Risley, Hope Huelsmann, Rebecca Riley, Amber Perry, Stephanie Burdsall, Amy Wilson, Heather Roeder, Tia Peters, Sierra Singer, and our newest member through TeamIMPACT, Rory Halbert, will be joining our roster next year.

I just want to say how excited we all are to have you guys, especially with some big changes happening in the program. With the resignation of our former head coach, Kiley Cirillo, and our assistant coach, Amanda Mason, who has taken a head coaching position out of state, we have had an interesting couple of months! However, just knowing what greatness you all have to offer the team, I cannot wait to meet you and get started!

Fortunately we were able to be there for one of our signees:

Jess Bentley and Rory Halbert at her Press Conference

On February 6th, there was a press conference held for our first TeamIMPACT player. It was a very special day for our team. Assistant A.D., Jackie Paquette, spoke first and announced the inclusion of Rory to our roster for the 2015-2016 year. Next, our Athletic Director, Dr. Sue Willey, spoke on behalf of the University and the team and shared that Rory was the first girl in the TeamIMPACT program here at UIndy. Next was our very own Jess Bentley, who spoke on behalf of our team. Together her and Rory sang the chorus to The Lego Movie theme song and everyone got a good laugh in!

Some of us were even able to hang out with her that following weekend at a home basketball game.

We couldn't be happier to have this new class coming in, and can't wait to share many more moments with Rory this spring.

New Year, New Beginnings

Hello all!

It's been a crazy beginning of the year so far UIndy Women's Soccer, which means there are lot of things to be updated!

First of all, I apologize for the delay, this is the first week we have completely wound down and I have had some free time away from classes. 

At the very beginning of the year, a couple of the teammates went and supported the Circle City Power Soccer team in the Greenwood Power Soccer tournament on January 10th! Jessica Bentley and I were able to even able to work the score boards and score cards. 

Jess Bentley, Lindsey Bryant and Team U.S.A. and
Circle City Member, Case Calvert, sharing in a dorky moment between matches.

Leaving the tournament undefeated, we wish the Circle City Rollers the best of luck. The World Cup training is already underway, and a couple of the other teams present at the tournament had Team U.S.A. members, so it was an exciting experience for all and a good gauge to how the season and upcoming training sessions would be. We wish Coach Hayes, The Circle City Rollers and Team U.S.A. the best of luck in the coming months! Hope to see you all soon. 

Head Coach Mike Hayes and team with assistant Coach,
Ryan Baca, Lindsey Bryant (Me), and Jess Bentley.

This next post coming up is to announce some big news from the program! Stay tuned!

GO HOUNDS!
