Cagle on McCall: "Throughout the 2004 season, Molly once again proved why she is a captain and leader for this program. She led by example day-in and day-out by being the hardest working player on the field. We are going to be looking for Molly to once again lead this team to another great season. We also hope Molly returns for her senior year having addressed a few areas of improvement, and if so, she will be a 90-minute contributor for us."
