Dorrance on Bridgette: “Another player heading into her senior year. Has the potential to play for us at right wing where she has started for three years. We’re also considering playing a 3-4-3 and if we go with that system she has the potential to play left midfield for us because we are considering putting Fox at right midfield in a 3-4-3 in a four-man midfield because the way Hallie Klanke played last spring at right wing she might be the solution for us at that position. Because of her speed, Bridgette has the ability, quickness and agility for us to start at right wing but also at left midfield because not only is she a good attacking personality she’s also a wonderful defensive presence. That gives her the presence to play up front or in the midfield.”
