"Brooke (Banta) has played for some of the best coaches in the country and you can tell when she plays. She is tireless and does all the little things that are so important to the success of the team. Brooke will always have an impact on the game just by how much pride she takes on defense. Her teammates all say the same thing about how much they enjoy playing with her and that's just as important as anything she does in the water."
