Coach Royal: Thanks to former coaches Dan Mannella and Eddie Leigh, we’re very excited to have found Marykate so late in the recruiting cycle.  With her sophistication of off-ball runs and ability to score goals, we believe Marykate will be able to immediately impact our front line.  Her work ethic, passion and integrity will be a model for future Explorers.  We’re very confident that Marykate will have the potential to score 5-10 goals in each of her four years at La Salle.
