Coach Gallimore on Schweighart: "Kelley Schweighart, after some early injuries that sort of set her back, is good defensively. She is a good attacking player for us and she can be great. She knows that we expect that from her and she expects that from herself. Kelley needs to take her three years of experience up to this point and capitalize that. She knows how to get by players, she's great at crossing the ball, and she knows that she needs to get in the box and look to shoot more to be more of a finisher for us. Kelley is tremendously talented, she's great on the ball, she's great one-on-one and she plays big for her size."
