Katie Leinen Class: Senior Hometown: West Chester, Pa. High School: West Chester East Position: Forward

According to Head Coach Heather Lewis: "Katie is one of our most creative players on the ball and her stick handling skills enable her to draw numerous penalty corners on our attacking end. I have watched Katie's confidence grow immensely through our `07 spring season and I feel like she's ready to end her career playing some of her best hockey ever. In addition, she will play a vital role in the leadership of this program. Not only will her work ethic set her apart but Katie will provide the accountability and team-oriented approach critical to championship play."
