On Lexi Missimos’s season debut…
“Its great to have her back. She is able to do some things that other people can’t, she played a few penetrating balls that caused real problems. It’s a piece we have been missing for sure. She’s going to get better and better. She’s a great player and we are excited to have her back.”
