    Zoey Carlson joins sister Rylie Carlson in playing the back row for Newark. The result? ‘Usually lights out.’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Any sort of sibling rivalry between Rylie and Zoey Carlson, who are Newark’s top two attackers, isn’t evident when they’re playing matches together.
