You are correct. She mentions her parents own the “Queens,” the pro team she wants to play for when she returns.

See is the kind of person I want us to have on our team. It was to bad she got hurt early and also missed the summer work due to the loss of her grandfather. Hopefully she can add to her game this summer.
