Congratulations are in order for two Northwestern head
coaches, Kelly Amonte Hiller of women's lacrosse and Stephanie Foster of
women's soccer. Foster and Amonte Hiller coach their teams from the same sideline at Lakeside Field -- with the former
patrolling the field in the fall, the latter in the spring -- and are
veritable next-door neighbors in their offices at Patten Gymnasium, but as of
Monday there is a new bond that links the two coaches.
Kelly and Stephanie each gave birth to baby girls on Monday,
July 11, the second daughter for each of them.
The newest addition to the Amonte Hiller family is Lew
Hughes Hiller, checking in at six pounds, 11 ounces. Look for her to join big
sister Harlee as a mainstay in the stands at Lakeside Field when the six-time
national champion women's lacrosse program takes to the turf next spring.
Stephanie welcomed Etta Mae Foster into the world at exactly
eight pounds, adding to a family that includes children Charles and Xiah. Etta
Mae was just one day late for being able to enjoy the thrilling win by the
United States over Brazil in the Women's World Cup -- an exciting two days for
the Foster family, to be sure!
Congratulations once again to Kelly, Stephanie and their
families and we look forward to seeing the whole crew at Lakeside Field when
the seasons roll around!
