What makes her great to have from a coach’s perspective is that she is willing to play wherever she is asked. Curran is a very determined player who does not get knocked off the ball very easily. She’s smart when she’s on the ball, smart off the ball as she moves into the right spaces or makes the right challenges. She is technical, calm when under pressure and makes an impact on the game as a true box-to-box midfielder.
Abby Incorvaia Abby Incorvaia null | F Waldwick | 2025 State #100 Nation NJ , Attacking Midfielder/Forward, Waldwick, Class of 2025
Incorvaia is a player who makes an impact on the game and it can be in a variety of ways.

She also plays on the outside as a No. 11 and can also play as a No. 9. She’s a smart student at Waldwick with a 4.4 GPA and is also a very smart player on the pitch.

She plays at Pine-Richland High in Gibsonia, PA where she was All-Conference as well. She is a true center mid, the kind a coach loves having in the middle of the pitch because she is going to out work everybody. She is exactly what you want as someone controlling the middle as she is a very tough, strong and aggressive player. She is also a gifted playmaker with excellent technical ability.
Olivia Moynihan Olivia Moynihan 5'7" | GK Sayville | 2025 NY , Keeper, Sayville, Class of 2025
What coaches want out of a keeper is a vocal leader, and Moynihan is exactly that. She is not afraid to lead, and lead with confidence and command. She keeps her third of the pitch in order. She communicates with her defenders and because she is so good about that, she helps shut down problems before they become major threats. She is a highly rated keeper, both in her area and nationally, and it’s because of her leadership and how brave she is. She does not shy away from contact. She is aggressive when it comes to balls in on corner kicks and when an attacker is in 1v1 as she either comes for the ball quickly or closes down the angle quickly. Moynihan is excellent at scanning the field and thinking one step ahead. She also plays quickly, but that does not mean she plays rushed. She is very calm, but transitions defense into offense very quickly. Moynihan plays at Sayville High on Long Island, NY, playing her club with the East Meadow SC ENCL 07 team.
