Turner on Evans: “Annie has natural speed and athleticism which she uses well to carry the ball and find attacking opportunities. She is a major threat with the ball and almost always creates something positive in the circle. She is fast to recovery and has become a patient defender who knows when to make a tackle. Annie utilizes her speed well on defense and is able to slow down any play in the midfield. Annie will be an impact player all over the field this fall.”
