Congrats!

As a Greyhound, if you are running a sprint relay for fitness at the end of practice, you pray that you aren't running against Haley Miller. As much as we hate the fact that we have to give her up in the spring, we are SO proud of what she is accomplishing on the track. CONGRATS Haley on being conference track athlete of the week!!

Hounds for the Cure





The Greyhounds traded in their boots for pom poms last Saturday when they spent their morning volunteering at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. As a "Cure Group," the Hounds were responsible for energizing the crowd and keeping the racers smiling and motivated throughout the race! If you passed the ladies along the route, you might have heard chants of...

See your doctor, learn your risk

Get mammograms and breast exams

Notice changes to your breasts

Start the fight by living right

I AM THE CURE!

The seniors made a pact to run (...okay...or maybe jog) the race in 2012.

 

Making a tunnel at the 1 mile marker!

Getting ready to lead cheers on stage for the survivors!



Even the zoo animals wore pink for the occasion... :)

Hounds Volunteer with Special Olympics

Ten Greyhound Women's Soccer players spent Saturday volunteering at Special Olympics Indiana's annual youth basketball tournament held at UIndy! Players led games for the athletes to play in between their tournament games, managed equipment, kept time, helped host a basketball skills competition, and took pictures at the tourney. The Special Olympians were not the only ones who created memories for a lifetime at the event ... it was a memorable and worthwhile experience for all the volunteers as well.

 Way to go ladies!

Happy Birthday!

Two of our Greyhounds celebrated birthdays today! We celebrated by adding weight to our front squat and bench press ... :)


Shelby turned 20 today!

Megan turned 21 today!

Happy birthday ladies! We love you!

Black and Red

We weren't kidding about those rap battles on away trips . . .

"Black and Red" written and performed by freshman Greyhound Nicole Duncan aka N deezy

Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is

When we kick the ball, we kick it big

Yeah, uh huh, we act like its nothin'

When we in that weight room, boy that's stuntin'

We rep Indy and around, you know where we be

Black and red, black and red, black and red, black and red

We score some goals, then we stop you with some killer 'D'

Black and red, black and red, black and red, black and red

We got the running, we got the weights

You may be scared of us, but you know we ain't

Soon as we hit the field, we check your face

Other teams, man, they just cant keep our pace

When the whistle blows, you know we scorin'

On the edge of your seats, we ain't never borin'

We got the teams checkin' schedules

They hope that they don’t play us, 'cause we on another level

Hear them haters talk, but there's nothing you can tell 'em

We just won the game, got some more of 'em on the schedule

We see you're scared, and we 'bout to break your hearts

We thinking championship as soon as the game starts

[Chorus]

Got a call from my jeweler, this just in

Talking 'bout getting some championship diamonds

We ain't slowin' down, and we're on a roll

This ain't one game, we shinin' all season yo

We sippin' Gatorade and rockin' Nike gear 

We've won so much, all our fans do is cheer

Yeah they scared, so they're all runnin'

You jealous 'cause you know we're Greyhound stuntin'

[Chorus]

Keep scorin' like we're supposed to do

That crowd in the stands is reppin' our crew

And all of us look unapproachable

We're the flyest team and oh so mean

We are the coolest cats

We tear up the stats and write killer raps

And that’s that, bizzo slap

We let you try as hard as you want and you feel that

But you know you're gonna lose and we pilin' on the stats like

Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is

This is Greyhound soccer man

Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is

Y'all ready know what it is, check the jersey number

We rep Indy and around, you know where we be

Black and red, black and red, black and red, black and red

We score some goals, then we stop you with some killer 'D'

Black and red, black and red, black and red, black and red

[Chorus]

Blogging for Dummies

I speak for my fellow juniors and myself when I say that it’s hard to believe that we are entering our last spring season and in a matter of a few months will be ending our careers as Greyhound Women’s Soccer players. It seems like just yesterday that we were freshmen running around campus searching for rubber ducks on a scavenger hunt (yes … I know some of you remember this), and now, we’ll soon be stepping on the field for senior night. For us, this blog is an opportunity to document our last year as Greyhounds, the high points as well as the struggles in our battle to win every game, capture a GLVC Championship, earn an NCAA bid, win a National Championship, and most importantly grow as individuals and as a team.

But this is not all about the upperclassmen.

When Kiley asked me if this is something that we would be interested in taking on, I jumped right on board. What you miss when you read our box scores and articles recapping our games are our personalities, the rap battles that happen on away trips, the cheering heard in the gym when we’re doing stair relays at 6:45am, our successes in the classroom, our running the “rainbow run” in front of UIndy students in Smith Mall, our crowning of our own Homecoming (aka Awaycoming since we were on the road Homecoming weekend) queen, and so much more. So, not only will this be an account of how and when we beat our rivals, but it will also follow us in our endeavors off the field.

Each of us will have our own funny stories to tell, favorite moments to share, and talents to showcase, so I hope this team effort will be something you read and enjoy this season, and for many more seasons to come.

GO HOUNDS!
