Angela Berry White was named the third head coach in IU Indianapolis women's soccer program history in December 2024. White, an Indianapolis-native, brings experience as a former All-American player, U.S. Women's National Team player, college assistant coach and high school head coach to the Jaguar sidelines.
She was the first female player inducted into the Indiana Soccer Hall of Fame and was a two-year member of the U.S. Women's National Team alongside Mia Hamm and Julie Foudy, among others.
Most recently, White piloted nearby Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School to a historic 11-year run where she amassed a 168-49-23 record (.748 winning percentage), including a 2015 MaxPreps National Championship and IHSAA State Championship. She also captured an IHSAA State runner-up finish while at Brebeuf and earned a record eight Marion County Tournament titles. She became the only coach in history to win five straight Marion County titles in 2018. Her 2015 Brebeuf squad was the smallest school (by enrollment) in state history to win the 2A title. She mentored and helped develop back-to-back Gatorade State Player of the Year honorees Reilly Martin (2014) and Alia Martin (2015), both of whom continued their careers at the University of Michigan. She also coached former Wake Forest standout Ryanne Brown, who currently plays for Seattle in the NWSL.
White began her coaching career at Butler University as an assistant coach, where she helped the start of the program and saw the Bulldogs post back-to-back winning seasons. She later helped usher in the Indiana University women's soccer program as an assistant, helping them to a 50-46-1 record over five seasons, which included the lone Big Ten title in the Hoosiers history.
White starred at George Mason University where she was an All-American, helping the Patriots to a 48-25-8 record during her four-year career. She helped George Mason advance to the NCAA Tournament in three of her four seasons. She later played for the U.S. Women's National Team in 1992 and 1993 and for Cincinnati and Columbus in the USWISL. She also played in four Olympic festivals during her career.
She was an All-State performer in three sports at North Central High School, earning 1986 Marion County Female Athlete of the Year honors, the same year future NFL player Jeff George earned the male honor. She also played for the U.S. Youth National Team during her playing career and ultimately chose George Mason over a slew of scholarship offers in both basketball and soccer. She earned her undergraduate degree from George Mason in government and politics and later completed her Master's degree in sports marketing from Indiana University. She was awarded the NCAA Minority Postgraduate Scholarship during her time in Bloomington.
White and her husband Eddie have one son, E.J., who played baseball collegiately at both DePauw and the University of Indianapolis. He helped the Greyhounds to back-to-back NCAA Division II World Series appearances in 2023 and 2024 while earning two Master's degrees.
She loves to garden and is an avid golfer with two holes-in-one to her credit. Additionally, she's a fan of the Colts, Pacers and Indiana Fever and frequently attends games for all three teams.
