USA Field Hockey announced the 2009-2010 roster for the Women's Indoor National Team. The team will represent the United States at the 2010 Indoor Pan Am Cup in March 2010 with the hopes of qualifying for the 2011 Indoor World Cup in Poznan, Poland. The Women's Indoor National Team is coached by Shawn Hindy. 

The 2009-10 squad contains eight members from the 2008 Indoor Pan Am Cup Team, including Pan Am Cup Goal scoring leader Jennifer Mathis. 2nd leading Goal scorer at the Pan Am Cup, Ali McEvoy, Donna Chung, Maren Ford, Corrine McConville, Emily Valeo, Denise Zelenak, and Meredith Randall.  The USA Women's Team earned a Silver Medal at the 2008 Indoor Pan Am Cup in San Juan, Argentina. 

"The silver medal at the 2008 Indoor Pan Am Cup was just a start to USA indoor hockey," said Hindy. "We are confident that these women can and will win the Gold Medal in March 2010 and earn a berth to the Indoor World Cup."

The roster was completed after open tryouts were held in February at Winning Edge Sports in Oaks, PA.

"We were excited to have such an immense number of women try out for the USA Indoor team and it was difficult to select the 24 athletes that will make up the 2009-10 USA Women's Indoor National Squad," said Hindy. "The team and coaches will work hard together, become a closer team, and represent the United States in the highest honor."

Hindy and Assistant Coach Andy Thornton look to establish a training schedule through spring and summer, as well as tour to Europe in the Winter, before concluding in March 2010 with the Indoor Pan Am Cup.
