"Making nationals in 2022 was one of my proudest moments as a coach," Selhorst said. "It is very rare to have a team that is so motivated to achieve their goals. In all of my years of coaching, I have learned that each team is special in their own ways and this team was set on overcoming the adversity of being shut down for the 2020-21 season."

Selhorst also serves as IU East's Senior Women's Administrator (SWA).
