*Team Captain*

COACH RUDY ON PATRY: "A wonderful, gifted talent who is becoming the player that we thought she would be when we recruited her. We intended on playing her in the central midfield role, but with the injury to Syd Stoll last spring, it's pushed us into a position of playing her as a frontrunner this year. An excellent talent, [she is] creative, plays with flair, and a certain joy that you don't see in a lot of players. She lifts our playing spirits by her personality of play. I expect her to have a really good year; she's really developed into a quality high-level D-1 player."
