Meharg on Davies:
"Brianna is one of the most exciting players to have ever played at Maryland. Her speed and quickness, her hand and foot speed and her ability to simply out-run the opposition makes the game more electrifying for all. The new self-start rule will allow Bri to capitalize on her speed even more. She's developed solid passing skills and has become a field general through her role with the USA Under-21 Team."
