COACH ROFF SAYS
Alyssa is a midfielder that fits really well with our style of play. She reads the game well, makes good decisions, and is strong technically. Her ability to cover ground, circulate the ball effectively, and play a quality final pass help make her a very versatile player. That ability to play quick, from a technical and tactical standpoint, will be a great asset to our midfield group."
