2009 Season Outlook:
This patient defender has a solid wall for a stick that many opposing attackers underestimate. In her senior season, Maria, or “Mia” as she is called by her teammates, hopes to step up and be a leader both on and off the field, and is looking to tighten up the defense for the Pride this fall.
