In a heart-stopping performance, the Varsity Field Hockey team (17-3, 16-1) claimed the first IAAM C Conference Tournament Championship in program history by prevailing 3-2 in a shootout against Lutheran.  Scoreless at the half, the Saints scored first, but the INDians answered minutes later on a goal by sophomore Alyssa Dondero.  With the score tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, the teams played two scoreless overtime periods before moving onto the shootout.  The Saints, who tied IND for the regular season title, and the INDians would face off in a five round shootout to determine the game winner.  The shooting order, determined by a coin flip, meant that the IND player would shoot first followed by the Lutheran player.  Each of IND's first three shots (freshman Ariella Hopp, Dondero, and junior Michele Chmielewski) found the net while senior goalie Alexandria Saba (10 saves in the game) turned away two of the three shots to give IND a 3-1 advantage.  Lutheran narrowed the gap in the fourth round when they scored while stopping IND's shot.  The INDians' potential title clinching shot was turned away by the Lutheran goalie to start round five.  Needing a goal to tie and force a sudden death shootout, Lutheran's last gasp shot was stopped by Saba, sending the IND team and fans into a championship frenzy.  For more on the game, click here for an article on the IAAM Website.

The growth of the program under Coach Stacey Bilenki has been phenomenal.  When she took over the helm three seasons ago, she inherited a program still in its infancy.  The four year record of the program stood at 8-33-5.  In 2005, her first season, the team was just 1-12-4.  In 2006, behind a veteran group of players led by nine seniors, the team had a dramatic turn-around.  Advancing to the semifinals with an 11-3-3 record, they fell to the eventual champion Mercy Magic by 1 goal in a shootout.  With the departure of the large senior class that accounted for nearly 60% of their offense and their only goalie, not many would have predicted the 2007 team would reel off 16 straight conference wins (after dropping their first game of the season to Lutheran 2-1) to win the championship.  With the help of senior goalie Alexandria Saba, who transferred to IND last year in mid-year, and a roster that got plenty of production from seniors to freshman to outscore their conference opponents 73-9 with 10 shutouts, the INDians had the necessary chemistry to become champs.  The team had four players named to the IAAM C Conference All Star Team:  seniors Brianna Jones and Alexandria Saba on the defensive side, and junior Michele Chmielewski and sophomore Alyssa Dondero on offense.  Even the mid-season departure of Coach Bilenki because of maternity leave didn't slow the team at all.  Coach Beth Tisdale stepped in to guide the team down the stretch.  Congratulations to Coach Bilenki and Coach Tisdale and the team for a thrilling championship game and a phenomenal season!

A season ago, the Varsity Field Hockey team (16-2, 15-1) found themselves in an epic struggle in the semifinals of the IAAM C Conference Tournament against archrival Mercy.  The game was finally decided in a shoot out with the Magic edging the INDians 2-1 in penalty shots.  This season, despite sweeping the regular season meetings by scores of 5-2 and 4-0, the semifinal matchup was again a tight defensive struggle, but this time the INDians came out on the victorious end of a 1-0 score.  IND scored the only goal of the game in the first half on a shot by freshman Jessica Chmielewski off of an assist by sophomore Alyssa Dondero.  From their, the INDians relied on their defense and the play of senior goalie Alexandria Saba (7 saves) to ensure that Mercy would remain scoreless.  The win advances the team to their first conference championship in the seven year history of the program.

The Varsity Cross Country team (23-1, 13-1) defended their IAAM B Conference title in the Championship race by narrowly edging Glenelg Country School 37-38.  The Gladiators were the only blemish during the regular season for the IND, but the INDian runners prevailed in the biggest race of the year.  The two teams dominated the race, combining to place 8 of the top 9 runners overall.  Glenelg had the leg up with 1^st, 3^rd, 4^th, and 9^th place finishes for 17 points while IND runners finished 2^nd (junior Sarah Steinmetz 19:43), 5^th (senior Emma Rybczynski 20:34), 6^th (junior Maddy Jackson 20:59), and 8^th (freshman Julie Gessler) for 21 points.  The winner would depend on the placement of the fifth runners for each team.  The IND depth proved just 1 point deeper with a 16^th place finish by junior Abigail Gatch (21:55) against a 21^st place finish for the Glenelg runner.  How close were the Gladiators of edging IND?  If the fifth place Glenelg runner had run the 3 mile race just 14 seconds faster, IND would have lost in a tie-breaker.  The other championship race runners for IND were seniors Allison Buttner (50^th, 25:06) and Shana Rochester (51^st, 25:11).  Click here for the race results.

Congratulations to first year Coach Tim Smith and his team for a great season and a fantastic finish!
