"I am really excited to be having Sarah joining our program for the next stage of her soccer and personal development. She is a delightful young lady and is an athlete and player who is hungry to grow and to show that she can advance in her career. Sarah is quick, and runs forever, and is a very dedicated athlete. I feel she will bring some awesome competitiveness to the squad and has shown that she is willing to face any challenge so far.
