Coach Norman on Lynch:
“We are all very excited to add Kristina to our team. As she grew up in the area we have watched Kristina play since high school. I have always thought Kristina to be one of the most talented attacking players in the country. She is going to be a huge addition to an already talented attacking team. She loves to run at players 1v1, but also has the ability to combine and get behind defenders with her movement off the ball. We can’t wait to be able to work with her and are very happy she decided to come back home to finish her college soccer career.”
