"Audrey's a special player," associate coach David Rawles said. “Her grit, fight and will to lay it all out there help her be one of the best defensive players we have ever had at GRCC."
Since dropping its first two matches of the season, GRCC has won nine straight, including five in the conference.
GRCC will travel to Muskegon Community College on Sept. 29 in a 6:30 p.m. match that will determine the outright lead in the conference as Muskegon is also undefeated.
