Coach Gallimore on Perez-Murillo
"Veronica is crafty and holds the ball well for us. With a year under her belt she's going to have a breakout year for us. She's training hard and had a great spring. She played in the midfield and did a great job, but we can see her up front doing some damage too. She has a natural flair that you don't see in a lot of players."
