Quoting Coach Showler: "Dani is a tough-tackling midfielder. She’s a ball-winner and she brings that added bit of bite to the midfield. She’s composed on the ball and her work ethic is fantastic. We have a very technical-minded midfield and now we’re adding something a little bit different and I’m very excited to have a player of her caliber to come into what we have now.”
