Santoro on Hoffheins: "Two things about Mez that I noticed right away were, first, her demeanor and personality for the position and, second, her ability to play with her feet. Of course she can do all the normal things a keeper must do with their hands, however, those first two qualities are something I believe separates this position for us and Mez has them."
