Char Morett on Mallory Weisen
"Mallory brings a wealth of experience into her senior season. Mallory has excellent game sense and a keen vision of the field. Her creative passing skills help us to move the ball in all directions to develop an attack. She is our primary corner shooter who not only can score the goal but also recognize a pass to set up and assist. We're looking for Mallory to have a presence on the field in both the attacking and defensive ends of the field."
