Aly on why she chose Notre Dame:
“I’m choosing to attend Notre Dame because of the combination of outstanding academics, amazing athletics, tradition, and sense of community. There is nowhere else that is quite like being on the Notre Dame campus.”

Norman on Aly:
“We believe Aly is one the best center mids in the country. She is very calm on the ball and never seems to be rushed. She is one of those midfielders that always seems to know when to speed the play up or to slow it down to control tempo. We believe she will fit perfectly in our system and allow us to play an even more expansive style.”
