These last couple of games she looks like a completely different goalie, credit to her work ethic. Our new goalie coach, Ken Breithaupt, has done an awesome job of teaching her the techniques, is a great addition to our squad.
“Our returning players have done an amazing job of leading this new attack. Today they were pushing the fast break, moving the ball, and making smart decisions. I couldn’t be more excited to see how we continue to play tomorrow.”
