COACH CLARKE SAYS: “Kirsten is a player that my wife and I had the chance to coach in Grand Junction when we were there for a short stint six years ago. She’s very versatile. She could play up top, wide or in the center midfield. She’s a very dangerous player who can score with either foot from a variety of areas of the field.”
