marvels at Blundell’s quick adjustment
to Division I competition. “I have big
expectations for her. She’s hard working
which is evident in her good times.
She creates this atmosphere that makes
the rest of the team want to do well. It’s
clear that she’s determined and motivated
even with the major leap from high school
competition to SFC. Sometimes for a
freshman, whether it’s in the classroom
or on the field, adjustments can be
difficult, but Chantalle seems up for
the challenge.” ●
