8 Quotes by Allen Carlson

She has a lot of strengths, besides being such a tireless worker, she has developed a very strong shot, I am waiting for her to rip one in from the outside. She also has a knack for being in the right spot at the right time. Part of it is field sense and the other part is being willing to do the work and actually make the run.

She has shown a lot of leadership in terms of organization and getting the girls going. It is a good quality in a captain and this year since we have missed a lot of practices and games-and with me being an off campus coach-it is good to have someone like her as the captain who I can call.

Capacity in our U.S. manufacturing facilities continues to increase as we refine production processes and add new machinery.

You could just see it in our faces after we scored that second goal. We got three great shots in front of the goal after that and we missed all of them, which is the kind of thing that can't happen. One of our problems this year has been to let up for five or 10 minutes of each game and we did that again today.
