INDIANA, Pa. – The Indiana University of Pennsylvania field hockey team announced the addition of nine new players to its 2025 signing class, as released Tuesday.
The incoming class features multi-year varsity letter winners and champions from successful high school programs — and, most importantly, student-athletes who fit the Crimson Hawk culture, according to head coach Kelly Terwilliger.
Terwilliger said the group embodies the toughness, competitiveness and character the program values.
"This class reflects exactly who we are as a program: tough, competitive, high-character players who want to be developed and want to win," Terwilliger said. "We were intentional in recruiting strong hockey IQ, physicality and players who play with edge. This group elevates our defending core, adds pace and creativity in the midfield, and brings goal-scoring threat up front. They fit our culture and our standard, and they are ready to impact our program the moment they step on campus."
