COACH SANCHEZ ON ALEXANDER: “Amy is a player that is versatile through the midfield. She can play centrally, she can also play wide. She also has the capability of playing a wide forward if we play in a three front formation. Amy is very technical, very good on the ball. She came to camp last summer after she already committed and showed really well. Amy has a lot of good qualities we’re looking for and a lot of versatility through the midfield and on the attack. I think she can help us right away.”
