She has great knowledge and passion for the game. Rachel has spent the last four years with the team and has been a tremendous leader for the program, serving as captain during three of those four seasons. I look forward to her continuing those leadership skills. I am excited to see Morgan and Rachel’s contributions as they transition to coaching as we continue to develop our program into a power in the region.”
