IN THEIR WORDS
Head coach Bill Hempen on Taylor Steinke on signing day...
"The good news is that when we had originally recruited Taylor, it was as a midfielder. She's been playing forward, and has been very effective as a forward for her club team. We're very excited about the versatility of Taylor coming in. She's a tall, strong kid who we hope can have an immediate impact. We think she can."
