A NOTE FROM COACH This season we experienced a lot of new things — from flying as a team to playing highly ranked teams! However, our drive and determination to improve never wavered. I'm so proud of our team and everything that we overcame to bring the NCAC Championship Trophy back to OWU! While we reminisce on a tremendous season, I want to say thank you to everyone who has continued to believe in us!

-Head Coach Brenda Semit

Fall 2024 Recap

DRESS TO IMPRESS Before our last regular season game against Wittenberg, we did a fun little “Dress to Impress” pregame photo shoot. Each player dressed up like they were celebrities with cameras on them as they go to the locker room to prepare for a big game.

COACH SEMIT’S 100TH CAREER WIN OWUFH’s 3-0 win against Wittenberg marked Coach Semit’s 100th career win!

Coach Semit was named the 7th Head Coach in program history prior to the 2015 season, and has guided the team to an impressive 50-9 record over the past three years!

In the past few years, Coach Semit has lead the team to three NCAC Tournament Championships, two NCAC Conference Championships, three NCAA Tournament berths, a showing in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, and multiple program and individual records. Following the conclusion of the 2024 season, Coach Semit is currently the second winningest coach in program history. She trails Harriet Stewart, the founder of the OWUFH program, by eight wins! The chase continues on in 2025!

Save the Date Sunday, April 6th

FUNDRAISING Over the past few years, we have had the most amazing support from our friends, family and alumni! With your support, we were able to prepare for season better than ever with a trip to the Netherlands!

Additionally, we have been able to continuously prioritize the health of our student-athletes and minimize preventable injuries by providing new turf shoes each season (plus the locker room smells less than ever)!

Contributions to the team have also opened the door to in season travel to Massachusetts, Virginia, New York, Chicago New Jersey, Kentucky, and Tennessee!

None of these things would be possible without your continued support. We are beyond thankful to everyone who has donated to our program and believes in what we are continuing to build! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

JUST A LITTLE FUN
