Carrie Colglazier died early in the morning of June 6, 2003 in a tragic automobile accident. Colglazier, a 19-year-old from Noblesville, Ind., was killed when the motorcycle she was riding on with fellow Butler student David E. Rahn, Jr., was struck by a vehicle in the Indianapolis area. Rahn, a 24-year-old from Elkhart, Ind., also perished in the accident.

On April 20, 2005, the driver of the other vehicle was sentenced to six years in prison as part of a sentencing agreement after pleading guilty to drunken driving in connection with the accident.

The Butler women's soccer team places a memorial to Carrie near the entrance to the field at all home matches and no Bulldog will wear Colglazier's No. 10 jersey until after the 2005-06 academic year, when Colglazier would have graduated from Butler University.

"This is a tragic day for the Colglazier family and the Butler soccer community," said Butler head coach Woody Sherwood in 2003. "Our hearts and our prayers go out to her family and friends. Carrie was a wonderful person and a talented athlete. She will be missed dearly."
