Warriors Just Miss National Ranking

Ottumwa -- People around the country have taken notice of the fast start by the Indian Hills' men's soccer team. The Warriors, 5-0 for far this season, just missed being ranked in this week's NJCAA poll.

The Warriors were one of six teams that received votes, but not enough to make it into the top 20.

One of the Iowa teams that is ranked, NIACC, will be the Warriors' next opponent. Indian Hills will host NIACC on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Walsh Soccer Complex in Ottumwa.

Not only is Indian Hills undefeated this fall, but the Warriors, thanks to outstanding goalkeeping by sophomore Marcus Filgueiras, are unscored upon as well.

The other Iowa school ranked in this week's top 20 is Iowa Western, rated 5th in Division I.

Warriors Sign Albia's Anderson

OTTUMWA --- An area soccer player who helped lead his team to the state tournament has signed a national letter-of-intent to attend Indian Hills Community College. IHCC coach Doug Seigle says Brady Anderson from Albia will join the Warriors in the fall.

Anderson captained the Albia High School team that qualified for the state tourney for the second year in a row and was ranked 9th in the state with a 15-5 record.
The forward/midfielder scored 20 goals and had 12 assists for the Blue Demons who were beaten by MOC/Floyd Valley at the state tournament.

“Brady is an exciting,versatile player who can play several different positions and will immediately compete for a starting position for the Warriors,” said Seigle. “He has a great nose for the goal and can create scoring opportunities with his work both on and off the ball around the goal.

Seigle describes Anderson as a tireless worker in games and in his training who brings out the best in his teammates. “I believe Brady is one of the top players in southeast Iowa and we are excited he is bringing his talents to Indian Hills,” said Seigle.

The IHCC men’s soccer team was 9-8 last fall, the best record in the program’s short history. The Warriors notched their first-ever postseason win and set numerous team records.

Warriors Put Six on All-League Team

Ottumwa -- Indian Hills placed six players on the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference all-conference men's soccer team. And Warriors head coach Doug Seigle was named the men’s co-coach of the year.

Named to the all-conference first team were midfielder Pedro Jurno (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and midfielder/defenseman Cheyne Reiter (LaPorte City), both sophomores; sophomore defenseman Caleb Bemis (Letts) and freshman midfielder Austin Kelly (Ottumwa) on the second team; and sophomore forward Damian Sheerin (West Point) and freshman midfielder Leonardo Teixeira (Sao Paulo, Brazil) on the honorable mention list.

Seigle said all six of the players on the all-conference list played key roles in the first winning season in the history of the IHCC men's program.

“Pedro Jurno was our leading scorer this season despite being a marked man and he came through in the clutch in our big games,” said Seigle. “Cheyne Reiter did a great job making the adjustment from offense to defense this year, making that switch for the team. He can play anywhere, but we needed him to anchor our defense.”

“Caleb Bemis was a solid defender for us, playing all four defensive positions and being the vocal leader on our team,” said the IHCC coach. “And Austin Kelly was our workhorse, working up and down the flanks as a midfielder. He never quit fighting for the ball from the first minute to the last of every game.”

Of the two honorable mention choices, Seigle said, “Damian Sheerin was our second-leading scorer and led the team in assists. He is a scrappy player who works hard and created many opportunities for his teammates. Leonardo Teixeira started every game and played every position, except goalkeeper, for us this season. He was our most versatile player and did a great job of filling any role we asked him to play.”

The IHCC men’s team finished the year at 9-8, winning the first postseason game in the program’s four-year history and setting numerous team records.

Seigle said the Warriors reached many of their goals for the season and “improved a little every day.” “Although we started the season off slowly, we really came together as a team and it showed in our results,” said Seigle. “I am very pleased with the work we put in and the direction our program is going.”

Seigle said he was honored to receive the co-coach of the year award and that it should be shared with his team and assistant coach Rod Campbell. “Rod did a great job during the coaching change and throughout the season. The team bought into my coaching philosophy by working hard to get better every day and playing good defense.” Seigle added, “I had expectations when I was hired in August, but have been very pleased to see us move forward as a program in a very short amount of time.”
