IU women's soccer announces 2015 signees
Indiana University Women's Soccer head coach Amy Berbary announced the 2015 signing class on Wednesday. A total of six high school seniors signed and submitted their National Letter of Intent on National Signing Day and they will be joined by Cassidy Blacha, who graduated high school a semester early and is currently enrolled at Indiana.
"Today is a very exciting day for Indiana women's soccer," Berbary said. "Our staff has worked tirelessly over the last two years - in the state of Indiana and nationwide - to secure a very talented group. We have addressed every position on the field with this class and look forward to watching them develop and contribute quickly."
Here's a look at the signees, in the order that their NLI's were received (for more info on each click the link in the table below):

Berbary is entering her third season as the head coach at Indiana, and has posted a 22-18-2 overall record in her first two seasons. Last year, IU finished 7-11-1 but closed the season with back-to-back shutout wins over Purdue and Michigan State. The win over Purdue marked the first time in program history that Indiana has defeated the Boilermakers in three straight meetings.
In her first season, the Hoosiers went 15-7-1 overall and 6-5 in the Big Ten in 2013, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. They also made the program's first appearance in the Big Ten Tournament since 2007, advancing to the semifinals. The 15 victories set a new school record for wins in a season and the team also set new program marks for goals scored, assists and shutouts in a season.
