Greetings!
 | | Lori Lindsey |
Good luck to USA in Women's World Cup, Sunday 11:30am. Good luck to Lori Lindsey, former Pike Youth Soccer Club and Pike High School player; and to former Carmel United and Ben Davis High School player Lauren Cheney.
In the first stage, USA won over North Korea 2-0 and Columbia 3-0 (with Lori playing the entire game). USA lost to Sweden 2-1 but still moves on to the quarter finals, unfortunately against powerhouse Brazil. FIFA's tournament chart:

"It was a dream come true," said Lindsey. "It was so exciting. We won out first match against North Korea so that match against Colombia was important to solidify our place in the quarterfinals with a win. I wanted to come out and do well for the team. I wanted to play my game and accomplish the simple things in getting back passes and linking the forwards with the defenders. Overall, it was great and so fun to play in front of a sell-out crowd. We got the three points and the win from the game and that was special."
Read what Lori said about working so hard for so many years to do her best: "I had goals in my career, and I believed in myself," said Lindsey. "I wanted to keep playing because I love the sport. It wasn't just about playing for the national team, but to continue to improve as a player and to play at the highest level I could." More about Lori:

Mayor Ballard announced yesterday that Indianapolis Department Public Works will add an entrance to Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex from West 56th Street and address the drainage issues on both sides of 56th Street. The entrance to MJGSC from 56th Street will line up with the existing north/south access road and connect where our sign is currently located. The drainage plan will "absorb" the rain water that takes a long time to drain on both sides of 56th Street. Although DPW is not addressing drainage or grading of the old north soccer fields, this project should help by carrying away the water that slowly meanders along the south side of the safety mound.
