Throughout the year, she has played numerous positions outside of her normal midfield.  She played center defense, wing and forward. She is an outstanding player and a greater person.” Gay, although only a sophomore, started for the second year. “She started the year playing outside defense and played herself in a midfield position,” said Jandt. “Her growth as a player allowed the team to make changes when needed and did not miss a beat. Ayshia plays wherever the team needs her and shows success even in uncomfortable situations.”
