This year's crop of North Texas ODP players boasts some of the best youth talent in the country. They have a number of Regional and National Team players on that squad. It should be a very good match for our team.

Erika is another player who will add a great deal of explosiveness and speed to our team. She's versatile enough to play as an outside midfielder or forward for us. Erika is an attacking personality that always looks to penetrate defenses with the runs she makes. When the ball is at her feet, she's technical and creative enough to beat people one-versus-one.

This event will allow us to play against some very good Big 12 programs. Big 12 teams are typically very athletic and organized as a whole. The challenge for our team will be how to handle constant pressure from our opponents in a composed and organized manner. We're honored to have been considered as one of the college teams for this event.
