COACH'S QUOTE: I had the opportunity to watch Deysla at the Junior College National Tournament, and she was in complete control of her team's defense.  I liked how her presence on the field was strong and intimidating for the opposition. Deysla plays extremely smart in the back and helps start an attack once she wins the ball back.  She plays with confidence and control, and  I look forward to having her help keep shots off our keeper.
