End of season review
September 1, 2007
 Premier League
Ever since winning the league in 2005 the club have been pining for this trophy, it’s the one they would like to win more than any. They had not won the won a league title in 2006, but this season the ladies excelled. The club added new players to the squad such goalkeeper Kristin Luckenbill who has performed excellently during the playoffs, Lisa Grubb who scored key goals in the second part of the season, Lauren Sesselmann who provided physical presence up front and the ever elusive Maria Ruiz whose raids on the right flank gave opponents fits throughout the campaign. Another reason for FC Indiana’s success this season has been their continued great form at home. In four years, the club has never lost at home (20 wins and 2 ties).
The ladies went 7-1 during regular season. The icing was put on the cake in the WPSL final with a professional 3-0 win over New England Mutiny at Pepin-Rood Stadium in Tampa with Maria Ruiz and Lisa Grubb running rampant. Champions again!
