She covers a lot of ground, is good on the ball and has a big soccer background in her family. Her brother, Jacori, played at Wake Forest and is a very good player. Carmyn will bring an athletic presence as well to our team. She has a good base, both tactically and technically. She is just a solid soccer player all around."
