COACH MORETT ON ZUG
"We are hopeful that Daneen comes back healthy this fall. She was out in the spring with some back issues. We really did miss her last spring in the midfield and we're looking for her to come in and play a strong midfield position for us. She had a great year being named Second Team All-Big Ten as a sophomore. She's a person we look to on our corner scoring situations."
