Santoro on van Maanen: “Michaella is just a soccer junkie. She has great instincts for the game, is clean technically, and has the innate ability to attack either by passing, dribbling, or shooting. Her strengths fit this recruiting class perfectly and she will be a fun player to have on the field.”
