Coach Graap on Kane
"When Lindsey is out on the field, we are a better team. She’s a real team player. She’s smart, capable and reliable. Lindsey’s the gel that keeps us together. She’s similar to Noelle Dowd in that she does all the hard things on the field that don’t always get seen. She will be instrumental to our success this season."
