COACH ROFF SAYS
"Sydney is an attacking player that is very comfortable on the ball, and brings a high level of craftiness to the game. She is very effective stretching the opponent with runs, but she's also very comfortable receiving the ball under pressure with her back to goal. Her ability to create chances in combination, and finish chances at a high rate of efficiency, make her a constant threat. Her experience of playing for a national championship club team has prepared her well for this level and we expect her to make an impact right away."
