COACH SMITH ON ALEXIS: “Lexi is a physical defender who is an excellent 1v1 defender, very difficult for attackers to beat. We have seen her grow as a player over the past couple years, and we are excited about the potential she has to continue that growth at the highest level of college soccer. She has experience playing in the center or in the outside back positions.”
