Coach Findlay on Laurie: “Laurie has grown stronger mentally and physically as each year passes. Her confidence continues to improve through her ‘supernatural’ ability to make saves that many goalkeepers are incapable of making. Her athletic reflexes are remarkable at times, allowing her to make several saves in a row with her body thrown all over the place. Lauire enjoys training and it is obvious that she loves the game. Her personality is vital to our team chemistry.”
