Coach Falor's Comments
"Natalie is a sophisticated central mid who has a very cerebral approach to her game. She's a very clean and technical player who can dictate tempo, create assists, and score in a variety ways against high levels of competition. We haven't had a player like her on our roster since our inception, so I'm excited to see how much she improves our possession and opportunities on goal against our better opponents. I expect that her most immediate impact will be in the creation of more quality scoring chances in the final third for us."
