IN THEIR WORDS
Colorado State head coach Bill Hempen on Gabi McDonald in 2017...
"We lost Paige Brandt to graduation, so that left us at two goalies on the roster. So we wanted to add another keeper to this particular class. Gabi is from just down the street at Rocky Mountain High School, and is another multi-sport athlete that we're going to share with Coach (Brian) Bedard and the track & field program. Dealing with balls in the air for goalkeepers is always a challenge, and Gabi handles balls played into the box as well as any female goalkeeper I've seen. We're excited about taking one more attack away from our opponents, hopefully, with that ability. She has an opportunity to join in the mix of goalkeepers here with Hunter (Peifer) and Syd (Hall)."
