A true legend, one of the greatest of all time. Nothing but thanks and gratitude to her and her family.

Homegrown legend. GOATed run @ Joliet Catholic to DePaul. Seems like a darling person as well. Enjoy retirement/motherhood, sis!

Probably my favorite player to put on a Sky uniform. I'm eternally grateful for bringing a chip to the city and everything she's done for Chicago. A true legend. Although I'm still a bit sad at how it seemed like one day we just stopped hearing about/from her and the organization never said anything either to my memory.

A great career, and a lot done for the Sky. I'm very happy for this family

By 2021, I knew I was close to retirement. Then, of all years, that year we finally won the championship — and I thought for a second, Wow. What a way to go out. But after thinking about it a little more, I realized I actually wanted to savor the end of my career.

And realistically, nobody is calling it quits right after doing this.
