Pais, whose name is pronounced Pace, was also drawn by the new league’s “light at the end of the tunnel.” She started her collegiate career in 2017 at the University of New York at Albany where she led the delightfully named Great Danes in goals and was named America East Rookie of the Year. “It’s been a whirlwind of a ride but honestly I wouldn’t change it for the world, because each time I’ve gone somewhere bigger and better,” Pais said. “And the experiences have taught me a lot professionally but also personally.”
“We’re going to have a great time on the field ,” she added. “And now that we get to do it on a professional stage together in front of so many fans, both at home, it’s a dream come true.”
