Although the Hoosiers faltered, Audra Heilman shined.
The freshman midfielder was selected to the 2011 Big Ten All-Tournament Team due to her fine play in IU's final game against Iowa. The Hoosiers lost 3-2, however Heilman's almost helped Indiana top the Hawkeyes.
After allowing two early goals to Iowa, the Hoosiers faced a huge mountain to climb just 10 minutes into the match. Heilman had an opportunity in the sixteenth minute and seized. After taking a ball in the middle of the circle, Heilman shot and scored in traffic to give IU life.
Heilman was a standout in her freshman year. She started all seventeen games for the Hoosiers, scored six goals and totaled sixteen total points. With key seniors such as Brenna Moeljadi, Jaclyn Zamudio and Katie Griswold leaving, she will be a vital part of IU's success in years to come.
