“Mary Elliott’s pace and technical ability alone would separate her from most players. But it was her attacking IQ that put her on a different level. Her runs were smart, decisive and effective, and her nose for the goal, and composure in front of it, were unmatched.”

Graham West

Head Coach of Covenant Day School
