Cardinal In The Spotlight

Rachel Harrison

Year: Senior

Pos.: Forward

Hometown: Madison, Wis.

Major: Chemistry

From Coach Mannor: “Rachel has been among our top four in scoring each season. With her natural instincts, and her ability to read and play and react to the situation, Rachel gives me the luxury of having a player that can play on any line, and in any situation.”
