Coach Gallimore on Buser
"Katie Buser is a smart soccer player and I think that she adds depth to our midfield. She understands the game, passes the ball very well and, last season and in the spring, showed us that she can give us some good minutes. As a senior, especially a senior who transferred from another school a couple of years ago, you hope she can come in and make a name for herself in her last year."
