COACH ROFF SAYS
"Mo will make an immediate impact on our talented pool of goalkeepers. At 6-foot-2 and athletic, she brings a physical presence to the position that you rarely see. She is an excellent shot stopper, she is good at dealing with crosses, and she is also very comfortable building from the back with the ball at her feet. Mo graduated high school early; she is already taking classes and training with the team. It is obvious that she has all of the physical qualities, as well as the intangibles, necessary to develop into a standout goalkeeper in the Big Ten and beyond."
