CAREER HONORS
COACH MORETT ON LONGSTRETH: "Jessica had a strong year being named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Her speed is something that you notice right away. Fortunately, she has improved her stick skills and her elimination skills. She spent some time working with the High Performance Program and will play in the Women's National Tournament. We hope Jess will be more of a threat this coming fall. We will need her speed to pressure the opponents' defenses to create a threat in transition."
