Coach Falor's Comments

"Heather has been the engine that drove our team over the last three years and this year will be no different. She battles fiercely in every one-vs.-one opportunity and is without question one of the best possession type central midfielders in our conference. We are looking forward to increasing her role offensively this season so that she can become a goal scoring threat in the final third. We need to keep Heather on the ball as much as possible because her ability to dictate tempo is what will make us dangerous."
