Coach Steffen on Baird: “Kelly had a traumatic injury in the spring, but we expect her back in the fall as close to 100 percent as possible. She’s a key leader for us defensively and a calming presence in the back. She can play against anybody in the country and not get rattled. The team will benefit from her on-field experience and her ability to keeping intensity through the whole season.”
