According to Coach Lewis: "Kelly has all of the tools to be one of the league's leading goal scorers this season. She can be a threat in our attacking penalty corner set, in transition, and in rebound goal-scoring opportunities. She showed in her sophomore year how dangerous she can be in the open field and in the scoring circle. I would expect that same tenacity to return in this, her final, season. Kelly is a fierce competitor on game day and will be one of our team leaders in terms of intensity and focus on a daily basis. She and Liz are ideal choices for team captains and I'm excited to work with both of them as we work to bring Bison hockey back to the forefront in Patriot League action."
