Meharg on Grater
"We had the luxury at Maryland of having two great goalies and we are confident Alicia will do well in the goal. She is a good oral communicator, very eager, very easy to hear. Her relationship with the players is one of complete respect. They do as she asks, which is really nice. She's respected."
