The most accomplished and decorated player in IU Field Hockey history, Bashore was the 2005 Big Ten Player of the Year, a three-time First-Team All-Big Ten honoree, and a two-time All-American (First Team in 2005, Second Team in 2003). During her senior season, she helped lead the program to a school-record 17 wins, a runner-up finish in the Big Ten, and to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Nearly 20 years removed from her college playing days, she remains prominent in the program’s all-time record book, ranking among the all-time leaders in goals (6^th), points (7^th) and shots (2^nd). After graduation, Bashore spent eight years with Team USA and was a member of both the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic teams. Bashore returned to IU in 2019 as the program’s head coach and has led IU Field Hockey for the past five seasons.
