Coach Rayfield on Dombart: "Caitlin joins the Illini having played both attack and defense and that experience will help her to follow in the mold of players like Christen Karniski and Mary Therese McDonnell. She, like those two, has great athletic qualities, has a 1v1 defensive mentality of pride and competitiveness, and has the ability to attack out of the back. Her size and athleticism give her a presence in the box that can be an important defensive element as well as a dangerous attacking weapon."
