Linda Horan, Lindsey’s mother, smiles, “I am happy with her decision. The club (PSG) is going to pay for her schooling and that is important to me. In addition, Lindsey, her father and I agreed to put additional money from her contract into future education. I am comfortable.”

Erik Bushey the Technical Director of Colorado Rush, “Amazing. I am elated for her. This has been a dream of hers since I can remember. Her hard work has paid off. She is deserved. By her taking a path that is less traveled, she has opened a door for others to follow. She is a good role model for our younger Rush players with the same aspirations.”

Lindsey will be returning home to participate in a WU20 National Team camp, July 15-23 in Florida and again for the U20 World Cup in Japan in Late August and early Sept of this Fall. In efforts to win a world championship, PSG has happily agreed to grant leave for the first part of the French League season.
