Reed now has 182 career wins during his 11-year tenure at UIndy, sitting just 18 victories from joining Jody Rogers (406) and Sue Willey (227) in the 200-club.
 
The senior class, consisting of Lauren Cullison, Elizabeth Eads, Hegwood, Ashlyn Meyer, and Sabotin led the program through the pandemic to wrap their careers with a turnaround season. Eads and Hegwood were freshmen in 2019 when UIndy earned a berth to the NCAA DII Midwest Regional for the first time since 2014.
 
"We wish our seniors the best and know they'll have success in their future endeavors," concluded Reed.
