IN THEIR WORDS
Head coach Bill Hempen on Lauren Jones in 2017...
"Lauren came to us late in the recruiting process. We lose Kasey Dietrich as an outside back, and we think that Lauren can come in and compete for an outside back position. That will allow us to move perhaps a Janelle Stone farther up the pitch. We think that Lauren will have an immediate impact. She has a lot of the pace that we've been lacking - we hope that translates to a solid outside back for us.":
