Owner, Erin McCrudden on Masters:

“I am thrilled to announce the joining of Lauren Masters to the magic staff. If you had the chance to watch the Cards play this past fall, you know that this #4 is a true competitor. She has impressive skills coupled with great physicality to her playing style. Lauren is actively chasing and living her dream of playing in the USA system, being selected recently to the U21 training camp after aging off the U18 USA Team. This is a real treat for our players to have the exposure to work with someone who is one of the top players in the NCAA. I am so excited for Lauren to work with all of our athletes and for our athletes to follow Lauren’s journey over her next three seasons.”
