That's awful news. Autumn is a terrific player.
Perhaps she saw the writing on the wall, though, in terms of playing time. The Ponies already have three other talented forwards -- Krystal Bailey, Kimber Bailey and Jena Lund -- and just signed a forward from St. Louis who's supposed to be terrific, too.
Getting crowded on the front line. Good luck to Autumn.

I believe her transfer was centered more on a "closer-to-home" desire rather than a crowded roster situation.

Besides she primarily played mid.
