“I am very happy to return for the 2015 W-League season and the challenge of our newly aligned conference”, coach Macleod said, “ We will be looking to get into the playoffs, while continuing to provide a quality training environment for the best players in the country to prepare for their college season or for advancement to the professional level. The club has put some excellent things in place which will help us push-on this season and I am looking forward to getting to work with the players when they arrive this summer.”
