Char Morett on Ali Meves
"We are very excited to have Ali commit to Penn State. Her athletic ability in the goal cage initially caught our attention," The more we saw Ali play the more we liked her aggressive style. She has been to our camps and has shown a great deal of enthusiasm in working with our goalie coach, Annie Zinkavich. Her tall stature is an asset in the cage as well as her ability to make the quick decision and save."
