COACH'S QUOTE:  "I had the opportunity to watch Zahimara at the Junior College National Tournament.  Every game she played was solid and strong, and she displayed game-changing work ethic and skills.  I loved her quickness and toughness on the ball, and  I know she will provide many threats in our offensive attack.  I can't wait to see her provide many goals and assists this season."

I can tell that the team is very dedicated and strong and I really like that. I can’t wait to officially become part of this great team and win championships!"
