Coach Falor's Comments
"After playing a couple of positions the last two years, Abbie has now staked her claim on our front line as our most dynamic central forward. She will be a key player in our attack this season as we absolutely rely upon her creativity to create scoring chances for herself and the rest of our front six. She can score from outside the area with both feet, serve quality crosses, or go to goal."
