Emily Arpidone Class: Junior Hometown: Strongsville, Ohio High School: Strongsville Height: 5-9 Position: D/MF

Coach Falor's Comments
"Emily will likely play both as a central defender as well as a holding central mid this year. She's tactically sound on both sides of the ball and excels at keeping possession. She is also a threat to score from outside the box with her long range shooting. She knows how to be effective when it counts and is capable of organizing the defense in transition."
