Why Mo chose Mizzou:

I believe I will be equipped with the skill set that will greatly benefit me in the future. From the coaches, to players, to the college town itself I feel welcome and at home."

Club coach Chris Maravalli on Mo: 
"Over the past 5 years, Mo has established herself as one of the best outside backs in the country. Her unmatched pace and quickness make her a shutdown defender while also allowing her to be a consistent attacking threat out of the back. She comes from wonderful family and her commitment to both academics and soccer have helped her develop into a positive leader within her team who is loved by her teammates and coaches. Mizzou is getting not only a dynamic player who will flourish in the SEC, but also a first rate young lady who will represent the Tigers with a humble, positive, and very hard working demeanor. Without a doubt, Mo will help Missouri continue to compete at the highest level in the country!"
