      A couple of UP fans told me that Kaufusi reminded them of Christine Sinclair the way she commands attention on the pitch.

        Down-votes for relating that a Utah student-athlete has been compared to one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

          You know, if I were you, I would just stop caring up upvotes and downvotes. They don’t affect anything material, and they don’t make you a better or worse person than you are.
