JJ Duke from the Women's Soccer Zone interviewed Lussi and her coach. From the article: "I’m very intense, all the time, in almost everything that I do." Lussi’s description of her playing characteristics will no doubt endear her to the Portland fans right from the start. In her playing days for the Tigers, she was someone who would always be active right from the opening whistle. She would scrap for loose balls in the front line while terrorizing defenses with blazing pace, all while possessing a deft scoring touch inside the box.
