“I was very happy when Mary decided to become a Buster,” Head Women's Soccer Coach Jeff Huffman states. Mary has the ability to play either outside midfield role, as she is very capable to serve an accurate ball from the flanks with both feet--- a rarity in the Jayhawk Conference. She has a very strong leg and has the ability to put the ball where she wants on corner kicks, which will be a weapon we will look to utilize.”
