Char Morett on Allison Scola
"Ali is one of our most versatile players on the field. She has played every position on the right side. Her offensive skills, both passing and stick skills, make her a very dangerous player coming out of the midfield. Last year we relied on her to create scoring opportunities on the forward line. This year she will be able to help us most effectively from both positions."
