Coach Falor's Comments
"Kelly has really matured over the course of the last year and is now ready to be a special player at this level. She's technical and clean and has a confidence to her game that comes through when the pressure's on. Her work rate is tremendous and she uses her athleticism to completely cover her box. The part of her game that stands out above all is her bravery coming for crosses and through balls. Her ability to keep our defense organized will be critical to our success this season."
