Coach Swezey on Wilcox:
"Sarah was recruited as a defender with great field vision and excellent timing. Since then her stick skills have developed to the point that she may be able to contribute on our offense and in the midfield as well. Coming from an extremely competitive program, Sarah knows how to win the big games."
