QUOTING SHOWLER: “Sonja redshirted last season, but came back<br />
this spring with a lot <strong>of</strong> energy and creativity. I think we missed that<br />
creativity last year at times, so I think she’ll add a little bit for us at the top<br />
and will give defenses some problems, so we’re glad to have her back.”<br />
