Just For Kicks is back in action with another profile of a player on the Rice Owls' soccer team.
Last season midfielder Lauren Busansky played in 17 games and won the team award as the player who sparks the team the most when coming off the bench. She worked her way into four starts and finished with three goals and two assists. Now the Calabasas, Calif., native has stepped-up to the Q & A hotseat to take-on the rugged Just For Kicks interview.
