Coach Bennett on Nortey: “When you see C step on the field, he’s got an array of tools; you can tell he’s had a disciplined soccer background. He uses his creativity when running at defenders and getting forward. He will give us a dynamic from either flank and can break down the integrity of the other team’s defensive structure. He understands the game. Even though he has individualistic talents, he’s not a selfish player, as he’s equally adept to pass the ball.”
