Coach Moros on Osborn: “Sydney is an aggressive striker, possessing both the ability to get in behind defenses and hold the ball up to combine with teammates. She’s hard working, passionate about the game and driven to keep getting better. That’s what we’re all about at Arizona Soccer, and I know she will come in ready to go and bring a fighting spirit and goal scoring prowess that will help us take our program to the next level. I’m looking forward to working with her in the fall.”

Coach Moros on Hayami: “Riko is a capable center back with strong tactical game understanding, clean technical skills, and deft passing ability that would also allow her to play in the midfield. She grew up in a different soccer culture in Japan where the emphasis is heavily on these aspects of the game. She will bring something unique to the program, both in her anticipated individual performances and also by what having a player like that does to challenge other players daily in the training environment. I’m excited to get started with her in January.”
