I saw her play early on, and she was talented but a bit raw. When I saw her later in the club season, she was absolutely pounding balls. Her timing and form improved immensely, and she was a dominant athlete in every match. She is an athlete I can only see continuing to rise in the ranks as she keeps working hard and improving her game.
