Char Morett on Amy Bonenberger
"Amy made significant strides throughout the season last year as our left back. She has good vision of the field and can often hit the upfield player in quick transition. She made some outstanding defensive stops in our playoff run. She will certainly add depth and experience to our defensive unit."
