Coach Gallimore on Showman
"If everyone had Lizzy Showman's attitude, we'd be national champions. The best thing about our goalkeeping position is that Alex Phillips and Lizzy Showman have really stepped it up and will challenge Taylor Carr. They have grown from a leadership standpoint, a physical standpoint and a competing standpoint. As with every position on the field, that's huge for us to have people competing for their spots to get them to the top of their game."
