What does being a captain mean to you?
"To me, being a captain means to lead the team in a positive manner even when we are not having our best game. I think it is important for us to look after the younger players on the team both on the field and at school. Lifting up the mentality of the girls is also important. Allie Cloninger has taught me that being a captain means setting good examples and maintaining the culture of our team."
