COACH'S COMMENTS: "Kim is a goal scorer. We are excited to move her up top after spending her freshman fall in the midfield. She will have more freedom up top and less work to get in positions to score goals. As she gets more comfortable with the players around her, I expect to see not only her own goal production increase, but to also see her involved in setting up quite a few goals. We are excited about her potential this fall."
