Classroom

McCrory maintains a 3.74 cumulative GPA as a triple major in the IU Kelley School of Business. She is a second team Academic All-District and All-Central Region Scholar ad a three-time Academic All-League pick. Twice she was named to The Summit League’s Commissioner’s List for Academic Excellence.

Character

After making a late decision to attend IUPUI, McCrory has gone from a walk-on student-athlete to a co-captain/leader in the program. She initially thought she was going to attend Washington University in St. Louis, but found out during the summer prior to her freshman year she had been denied admission. Coach Johnson took her as a preferred walk-on and she went on to earn a starting job her first season and later earn a scholarship. Last spring, she was awarded the IUPUI Michael A. Carroll Scholarship (a full ride), given to one to-be senior based on community service, academic prowess and athletic successes.

Community

McCrory is a two-year Community Service officer for the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC). She has performed community service hours at Gleaners food bank on two separate occasions and volunteered for the IUPUI Mid-Con conference swim meet in 2006, FC Pride soccer club in 2006, Horizon House in 2006, and Little Flower Elementary School in 2007. She has volunteered with her team at a Charity Polo Match in 2008, the Broadripple Lights Up in 2008, Dr. Suess Day at Riley Hospital for Children in 2008, and she gave blood to the Red Cross in 2007. Currently, McCrory volunteers at Riley Hospital for Children once a week, hosting a television show for the patients that is broadcast throughout the Clarian Hospitals. She also volunteers once a week with the College Mentors for Kids, helping a first grade “little buddy.” Twice she was named the Most Outstanding Jaguar from SAAC for exemplary community service.

Competition

McCrory was named first team All-Summit League in 2008, helping IUPUI to a share of its first-ever regular season league title and a school record 13 wins. She ranks fourth on the program’s all-time list in career goals (12) and sixth in points (29). She enters her senior season tied for eighth on the program’s all-time list in career starts with 50.
