“She’s just built differently. She is strong in the air and with her speed and skill set, she is deadly in one-on-one situations. She has that mentality that we are not going to lose and does everything imaginable to make sure her team wins. She is always talking to her teammates, encouraging them and wanting the best for them too.”
