"Eleanor had a good season in Suhl," says SCP trainer Riccardo Boeri about the 24-year-old American. His assessment of the new signing: "She is very complete, physically strong, and brings the necessary aggressiveness to the game." Business manager Eugen Benzel is also convinced that they have made a good acquisition with Holthaus. "She fits perfectly into our team," he says.
The Potsdam women start the new Bundesliga season on October 2 with an away game against Ladies in Black Aachen.
