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.
