Dorrance on Lotte: “Lotte is not only one of the team leaders but also is easily the fittest player on our roster. She knocked it out of the park in our final fitness tests in the spring. Her fitness base is very deep. She will start for us at a center back position. I like where her game is going. Along with Taylor Otto and Morgan Goff she was our most improved player in the spring. She can distribute over distance. She can penetrate off the dribble. She can organize the defense. She reads the game very well. Composure is one of her best qualities. She will be a leader for us as a starting central defender this fall.”
