CSU Has Won School Record Seven Non-League Matches
COACH FALOR'S COMMENTS
"She's fast, physical, and fierce in defending situations. There's a super aggressive side of her game that gives our defense some backbone. She's very capable of helping us build out and serves quality long balls and crosses. Marina is a solid 1 vs. 1 defender that we can leave isolated on an attacker when need be."
