“With Sammy on the field, Boise was significantly stronger than when she wasn’t. Some of this was due to scoring and assists, but much more of it had to do with the way she entirely changes the game with her movement, ability to possess the ball, distribute the ball to the most advantageous spaces on the field and also with her leadership.”
