COACH ROFF SAYS
"Skylar is a player that brings a great combination of savvy and grit. She can connect passes with accuracy in tight spaces, and she can also strike a quality long ball when needed to switch the point of attack. She is always looking for the ball, and does a great job giving her teammates options when playing as a holding midfielder. Defensively, she does a very good job of understanding spacing and how to defend in a way that protects the back four. Her willingness to battle and get in on tackles will also be a great asset to our midfield."
