She is a tenacious player who is committed to taking players on but at the same time winning the ball back. Her athletic contribution and skill will add to our dynamic attack.

Quoting Coach Roberts: “Sam is an outstanding forward with immense athleticism. Her work rate and ability to combine with other players in the attacking third is excellent. She is very selective with her runs and consequently has the ability to find loopholes in any defense. She has been an outstanding high school and club player who has consistently found the back of the net. I believe Sam will do the same at the collegiate level and once again be recognized as a natural goal scorer.”

She has an incredible work rate and strong desire to be the best she can be. Her communication and leadership from the back line will enhance our defensive unit. Along with this, she will provide us with excellent distribution that will allow us to turn defense into offense very quickly.”
