“We are very excited about Carolyn. She is a fantastic center back that fits our system perfectly. She has great speed, quickness, and is very strong in the air. She is very technical and will help us control tempo from the back. She is also a great person who will fit seamlessly into the culture of our team. We can’t wait to start working with her.”
