Char Morett on Lauren Alloway
"Lauren unfortunately had to redshirt last season due to knee surgery. She has made the most of her rehab and has improved her skill and fitness level significantly. Lauren is very determined to get back on the field. She saw limited but effective last spring. She is a natural communicator and will be a contributing defender to our team."
