Coach Graap on Garson
"Heather will continue to recover from last season’s knee injury and we haven’t really been able to see her at her healthy best. We’re hoping that she can get back on the field on a consistent basis and earn some time on gameday."

Garson did not see varsity game action as a freshman in 2008.
