Romig continued: "I am excited to be able to work with such great student athletes that are determined to continue the success of the program. They have shown what they are capable of and I look forward to helping them grow as a team and individuals."

After capping her five-year playing career at UIndy, Romig served as an assistant coach at Davenport for one season. Six Panthers claimed All-GLIAC honors in 2023, including a pair of first teamers. Davenport totaled 203 wins in the draw circle, averaging nearly 12 per game.
