Kvilhaug on Harris: 'Shauntaine is a go-about her business kind of athlete. She is a small, quiet player who brings big things to the table both offensively and defensively. Shauntaine is an excellent fielding centerfielder who can cover a great amount of ground, and has one of the strongest arms on the team. At the plate Shauntaine[apos]s power and offensive production is of no surprise to us but may catch opponents off guard.'
