From Coach Burton: Mary is an extremely athletic player. A gifted multisport athlete that I see impacting us anywhere on the back line. She has a great feel for the game on the defensive side of things and the ability and vision to get into the attack in transition, whether as a center back or outside back. Mary has a good combination of size, strength and speed. Coupled with a desire to compete and develop, we are excited to add Mary to this team for the upcoming season.

Why I chose SIUE: I chose SIUE for the well-known engineering program as well as the feeling of it being home for me. I also felt like it was an amazing opportunity to play the game I love at a high level here at SIUE.
