Stanford Sports' play-by-play commentator and the Women's Soccer Show co-host, Sara Ach, joins us on Stumptown Radio to talk us about the latest Portland Thorns signing, Shae Harvey.
The Stanford star leaves Stanford early with one year of eligibility remaining and was rated one of the top midfielders in the NCAA.
Ach shares why she was so special at Stanford and the impact she could make at the professional level with Portland Thorns.
What are her expectations for Harvey's rookie season?
How does she fit in with the current midfield group and best position?

BONUS: Elise Evans and Jasmine Aikey
The Stanford Cardinal had one of the most, if not the most talented roster in all of college soccer.
As part of the offseason series, I listed Elise Evans as one of the top possibilities at center back - which many consider the biggest need for the Portland Thorns.

Although CB is the club's biggest need, Jeff Agoos, Lucy Rushton, and Angus McNab need to stockpile additional talent to the roster. Another name to look out for? Jasmine Aikey - who can absolutely do it all.
However, Sara Ach believes every team should be in the lottery for both Evans and Aikey. If there was a draft, they would both be top five selections.
In our extended discussion she talks about the fit both players could potentially have and why they could take the Portland Thorns to the next level - if they are able to sign one or both.
