Sandra Herrera and Lisa Roman welcome rookie midfielder from Racing Louisville Savannah DeMelo to the show. Savannah discusses how she spent the week off at home in California. Savannah talks about the adjustment from the college game to the NWSL and how she put such a big emphasis on the defensive side of the ball, and it played off getting her first start at the defensive midfield role. Savannah also opens up about the communication between the Racing Louisville team among rookies and veterans like Jessica McDonald.
