COACH FALOR'S COMMENTS

"Natalie is a sophisticated central mid who uses a very cerebral and creative approach to the game. She's a technical player who can dictate tempo, shoot well from distance, and play teammates `in' with a variety services. She is most dangerous for us in the creation of quality scoring chances in transition."
