Turner on Osborne: "Brooke is an all-around outstanding athlete. She truly exemplifies a midfield player with strong defensive skills and the ability to find the back of the cage on attack. Brooke gained a lot of valuable game experience this past fall, which has built her confidence and her decision-making on the field. As we look to fill the center-mid position, Brooke’s ability to play both attack and defense could make her a viable candidate for that spot."
