“Megan is a tremendous addition to her team, a player that we consider to be a steal. After tearing her ACL at a showcase in January of 2013, some teams took pause in recruiting Megan. We believe that many teams out there will be regretting their hesitation. Our Thunderbird coaching staff moved quickly to snatch up this extremely talented forward.  She is an absolute powerhouse.  Fans may be familiar with the national team player named Abby Wambach?  Take one look at Megan and you will see the physical resemblances – and then when you watch her play you will see that the resemblance stretches far beyond just looks. Megan is an imposing forward who possesses speed, agility, and tremendous athleticism. She scores goals off determination and hustle.   The crowd will be on their feet every time she is around the ball because something special could happen at any moment – she will not hesitate if it means putting the other player in the back of the net along with the ball.”
