Coach Tucker on Josie Grant - "Our first European player, Josie possesses a feel for the game unusual to many Americans. She grew up playing primarily against males and she has more than held her own! Her skills and tactical awareness, as well as her physical presence will allow her to play effectively anywhere on the pitch. She plays with enthusiasm and a high work rate. Josie has played with and against some of the top youth players in England and will adapt to the college game shortly."
