Coach Sailer Says...
“Colleen personifies the work ethic and determination of the Tiger team. Consequently she has developed tremendously over her career, both as an athlete and as a goalkeeper. Her performance over the last three weeks of the 2006 season was a big reason behind our success in the NCAA tournament. She followed that up with a great fall, and so we’re expecting big things from her this season.”
