Heather is a great cutter and is always open, both in and away. And she always makes amazing catches - either really graceful one-handed catches for high discs in the end zone or sliding catches in the mud. And the fact that she can huck makes her an even more valuable cutter. She's also reliable as a handler in zone. So as you can see, she can play everything. =P
On zone defense, Heather plays in the cup and I think she's starting to play a little deep deep as well. She's never-tiring and always has a positive attitude on the field.
Heather played a couple years of ultimate at Oklahoma where she went to undergrad. Not sure how many years she has left.
