“This is an exciting opportunity for us to establish Midwest Select SA as an integral part of the women’s game in our region,” said MSSA Owner and General Manager Jamie McNicholas. “For years, Lions has been a leader in the growth of the women’s game in Northwest Indiana and have produced not only great players, but individuals that want to give back to their community and the sport, in general.”

Mike Rance, Director of Coaching at NWI Lions United, had this to say about the partnership: “We are excited to partner with Midwest Select SA to be able to continue to offer our players more steps in their soccer pathway.
