"Rachel is a very versatile player and has the ability to hit from any position. She's a great teammate who understands how to buy into a role and support the vision of the leadership. Her high school and club teams have won at the highest levels and she brings in championship experience. She's a winner and I'm stoked to see the impact she has on our program."
