"A lot of teams expressed interest in my services this year, which was a little bit different from last year for me. I just had to figure it out, based on what’s best for me, where I wanted to go as far as the situation, somewhere my family would be happy to go to and hang out in. Knowing the history of Coach Reeve and myself, I looked at Minnesota more in depth than other places because I knew the style she play and I know her personally. I know a lot of the players and I remember talking with Coach Reeve about last year and their goals of taking another step forward this year. I thought it was a good place for me to be and help our team take the next step forward towards being in the position to make a run for the playoffs."
