Quotable Erica Linthorst:
"Playing as a team member is an honor; representing a country a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Team spirit and succor is an unparalleled experience that I feel so very fortunate to receive and share. It is certainly a crowning accomplishment to have come this distance and as a “newbie” I am thrilled to go Vladivostok, Russia with such a terrific group of people I can call teammates and friends."
