Azem on White: "Meghan plays with an edge. She's athletic, tough and has been a leader and an impact player on a consistent championship program. She knows what it takes to win and she does so in her actions every day. Her speed, her tenacity and her ability to create an attack for us as a defender will be a tremendous asset to a backline that is hard to beat."
