A quick, solid player who has the ability to both assist and score goals, Erica will be resourceful in either our midfield or up front. |
A wonderful, athletic talent, who is a nationally touted goalkeeper, Lauren brings great shot-stopping ability, a strong tactical understanding of the game, and overwhelming courage and tenacity. She will immediately compete for time in the net. |
Ashley brings National Team potential. She has tremendous skill with the ball, great variety and range in distribution and a comprehensive vision of the field. We anticipate her to have an immediate impact in our midfield. |
Beating Penn State is not going to be an easy task no matter how you stretch it, whether it's at their place or at our place. I think being at home gives us that bit of an advantage. It's always tough to play here and it's always tough to play at their place. We certainly prefer to be going into this game being at the Jesse. |
Cassie is a very gifted athlete with very quick feet. Her one-on-one defending, ability to read the game, and solid possession will immediately impact our backline. |
I think it takes pressure off because [opponents] think they can let down their guard. |
I think it will help we are the best when we are playing at home. We are very comfortable here at the Jesse, and we are very comfortable with the fans rallying behind us. |
I was pleased with the response that my team showed after giving up a goal. They put their shoulders back and fought harder, and ultimately that's what you are looking for from a young team. |
I'm looking at the healthy snacks. I can't be an American Red Cross instructor and not eat healthy. |
Injuries are part of the athletic experience. Many young players will be looked to to share these senior's minutes and fill the goal scoring void. Yet senior leadership is very hard to replicate. Baptism by fire will both humble and mature our young squad. |
Kristin has a courageous mentality. She is not afraid to take on opponents one-on-one and engage physically. Her role on the team could be in the midfield or in the frontline as a wide player. |
Last year is over and done with and we've known that for nine months. |
Lauren is a gifted and skillful soccer player with a remarkable defensive mentality. Her experience and versatility will enable her to play in our midfield or in the backline. |
Marisa is a skillful, tireless player who sees and plays the game 360 degrees with solid possession and distribution. Marisa comes from a long family tradition of Buckeyes. |
Megan has been a leader with our fitness standards since she arrived in Columbus. It is hard to see her career end with an injury. |
