Coach Falor's Comments
"As Shannon has matured, she has become a keeper who makes many of her saves with her tactical savvy and organizational skills. She has good size and strength and shows quality range off her line. She has a good grasp of team defending, able to stay calm under pressure and remains verbally connected to her defense at all times. We feel her game will take a big step forward this year."
