"Rachel is as fierce a competitor as you will find, her strength, field sence, and aggressive nature on the field should translate perfectly at the college level," said North assistant coach Ed Manly. "We are excited for her to lead our defense this spring and  Iona is fortunate to have her comming next year."

Iona finished 5-11 in MAAC play last year. The Gaels have a slew of talented underclassmen and Vasquez will be a nice compliment to the mix.
