Her adjustment period to the college game should be minimal...Her club team was one of the best in the country...Expect her to come in and make an immediate impact...She’s extremely sound on the ball and she reads the game well defensively...She always seems to be ahead of the play and is able to tackle well...She is a great ball winner and a great distributor, which will allow her to keep possession in the midfield.
