Sposito is going to look to build off her experience with the team and earn a long awaited appearance with the team.
“I have always wanted to play for the United States Field Hockey team. I am very excited to return for another year with the indoor team. With a year of experience under my belt, I know the system, the coaches and the players so that will hopefully help me make a travel squad and earn a cap,” said Sposito.
