COACH MORETT ON McCARTIN
"Casey McCartin saw some time in the midfield last year. We think of Casey as being a contributor in the midfield or on the forward line. She has great quickness in her shot and is very creative in the different moves that she makes with her passing. She definitely has a sense of quickness to her game. We feel she will be a contributor this year."
