Coaches Quote
 
"She's is just a steady player and does her job," head coach Tim Strange said. "She's all business when she's on the field and off the field as well. She's a smart player and is one of those top kids who you want to have in your program forever. I would keep her around for at least 10 years if I was allowed to."
