Coach Randy Trexler's quote: "Kira had a great start to the season. Two of her assists came from passes that eliminated four defenders (both instances) to find her teammates for the score, not to mention her other teammates' bodies. I'm very proud of her achieving the new career assist record in Lady Dragon history. I don't think she realizes the significance, but I can say she definitely values assisting over scoring goals and that describes how she is as a person off the field."
