The Carmel native has been an assistant coach for the Girls in Blue since the team began in 2022, serving as acting head coach for much of the 2024 season. \u201cI am fortunate to have been part of the coaching staff the last three seasons\u2013to be named head coach is an incredible honor,\u201d said Kim. \u201cThe Indy soccer community and the Eleven fan base are second to none, to say that I am beyond grateful and excited to be back out on the field with them again in 2025 is an understatement. I would like to thank the club for the opportunity, and I cannot wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his three-year tenure as assistant coach, Kim helped Indy Eleven become one of only three USL W League teams to make the playoffs in all three years of the league\u2019s history.

Freeland earned her United Soccer Coaches Level I Goalkeeper Diploma. \u201cI am ecstatic about our staff for 2025,\u201d said Kim.  \u201cKelly and Sierra have both played monumental roles in the team\u2019s success the last three years. I cannot express how invaluable they are to our staff. I coached Kelly as a youth player; seeing her passion grow and lead her into coaching is a very cool thing, even if it makes me feel a little old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sierra Garber enters her fourth season as Head Athletic Trainer for the club\u2019s USL W League squad.

Little did I know, almost 15 years later, I would be making a career out of it. Rana has been an incredible mentor, confidant, friend and colleague and I am over the moon to be working with her again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAIA Names Taylor University Men’s Basketball Player Anton Webb as its Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week<\/strong> The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics announced its men\u2019s basketball National Player-of-the-Week honors on Tuesday, with Taylor\u2019s Anton Webb being voted both the NAIA Offensive and NAIA Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in Taylor\u2019s wins over No. 22 Indiana Wesleyan and Goshen.

Webb becomes the first TU men\u2019s basketball player to earn a national weekly award since Jason Hubbard did so in December of 2022 and is just the program\u2019s second such honor since Nate Kasper earned the award in 2013. Webb\u2019s NAIA National Athlete-of-the-Week awards are the sixth and seventh for Taylor student-athletes during the 2024-2025 year however, as Webb\u2019s two honors follow a pair from Jaynie Halterman (women\u2019s cross country) and one each from Jameson Chesser (football), Aven Jones (football) and Brianna Rawlings (women\u2019s soccer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
