Dowiak on Groff: Karina was a highly recruited player for the last two years. She’s a very tremendous athlete, but also has a real clever and creative approach to what she does on the field. As a wide player, she has tremendous ability to beat players one-on-one, get beyond the back line, and is a great set-up player. We’re real excited about the addition that we get in her athletic ability, as well as her production capabilities.
