ECNL Playoffs Monday’s 08 Standouts

DEL MAR, California - The ECNL National Playoffs continues on Monday from the Surf Cup Sports Park in Southern California. The morning clouds quickly gave way to mid-morning sunshine that sustained throughout the day.    The ideal playing conditions allowed a number of standouts to shine from the games on Monday. Below is a list of the daily standouts from Monday.    Logan Leonard-Myers, GSA 08 - Leonard-Myers recorded the shutout in goal in the scoreless draw against PDA. The reason she made the standouts list is the terrific save she had on Brianna Turner's chance. Turner burst through the backline and had a clean look on goal from a tight angle. The GSA goalkeeper did well in getting low and shutting down the shot with a quick reaction save.    [player_tooltip player_id='21826' first='London' last='Crawford'], GSA 08 - Crawford is easy to spot on the field as one of the tallest players. She is a fluid athlete and graceful runner - her movements look so effortless. She covers a ton of ground for her team and is a stalwart in the center of the pitch.    Coco Qui, GSA 08 - Qui had a great two-way game. She was strong in the tackle and battled against every challenger. She had a couple of shots on goal to test the PDA goalie.    [player_tooltip player_id='24007' first='Hayden' last='Tormasi'], PDA Blue 08 - Tormasi played as the right back for PDA. She stood out for her technical quality on the ball. She was smooth in possession and almost looked like a center midfielder in that role. She made a couple of great passes up the touch line as well.    [player_tooltip player_id='21775' first='Kayla' last='Allen'], GSA 08 - Allen had an outstanding game. She stood her ground against the talented PDA side. She was scrappy, smart, and unbeatable. Allen announced herself as a top center back from Georgia in the 2026 class based on effort alone.    [player_tooltip player_id='23820' first='Alexa' last='Lee'], PDA 08 - Lee was a bright spot in the midfield for PDA, but with a bit of caveat. It felt like she was just a bit off from her teammates. Lee has a great first touch and the ability to play out of pressure. A few of her passes just missed the mark on Monday as she was on a different page. It felt more like a fluke than anything as the midfielder showed all the quality and characteristics of a player that opposition should key in on to stop the PDA attack.    [player_tooltip player_id='24246' first='Paige' last='Foye'], PDA 08 - Foye does a bit of everything for PDA. The center back is a weapon with her long throw-ins. She also won every challenge. She has a strong leg too and quickly switches the point of attack.    [player_tooltip player_id='99856' first='Olivia' last='Robinson'], PDA 08 - Robinson had two crosses that went tantalizing close to finding a teammate on the far post. It's easy to see why she is so difficult to mark.    [player_tooltip player_id='94679' first='Chloe' last='Trotter'], Michigan Hawks 08 - Trotter was a standout for Hawks. She was in the right spots and made the tackle for her side. She is a good center back.    Avery Hilvert, Ohio Premier 08 - Hilvert has excellent 1v1 skills. She is a dynamic winger with a bright future. Sophie Khelashvili also had a strong showing for OP.    [player_tooltip player_id='143121' first='Shayleigh' last='Masters'], Colorado Rapids 08 - Masters was outstanding in the game against Sting Dallas. She did off her line - both on crosses and in stopping breakaways.   [player_tooltip player_id='27192' first='Reese' last='Liner'], Sting Dallas Black 08 - Liner is one of the top center backs in the ECNL and showed it against Colorado Rapids. She led her side to a shutout victory.    [player_tooltip player_id='26638' first='Danielle' last='Chaump'], Sting Dallas Black 08 - Chaump is such a gifted player. She is a threat from pretty much the opening whistle. She can beat players on the dribble or just jump over them on aerial duels.    [player_tooltip player_id='111248' first='Tatiana' last='Musgrove'], DE Anza Force 08 - Back-to-back shutout victories for De Anza Force 08. Musgrove was really impressive on Monday. Whenever she came out for the ball, she came away with the ball cleanly. She has good, secure hands.    [player_tooltip player_id='82617' first='Fiona' last='McCormick'], De Anza Force 08 - McCormick uses body fakes really well for a midfielder .She uses to create space for herself. She was always in control and never rushed a decision on the ball.    [player_tooltip player_id='82736' first='Sophia' last='Canepa'], De Anza Force 08 - Canepa was one of the standouts from the defense for De Anza. [player_tooltip player_id='82602' first='Abby' last='Nelson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='19269' first='Chelsea' last='Rogers'] also had strong games.    Jasmine McNish, FC Stars Blue 08 - McNish impressed with her defensive work for FC Stars against De Anza. She was in the right spots and made the correct read on the play.    [player_tooltip player_id='28466' first='Vienna' last='Whipple'], Crossfire Premier 08 - Whipple took a hard hit in the first half and bounced right back up. The center back is tough as nails. She is an excellent player and helped slow down the FC Dallas attack.    [player_tooltip player_id='28400' first='Saleen' last='Koszorus'], Crossfire Premier 08 - Koszorús had a strong game for Crossfire. She was the creative force through the center of the field. She did well against a top defense like FC Dallas.    [player_tooltip player_id='142075' first='Elle' last='Durham'], FC Dallas 08 - Durham had a solid outing. She was in the middle of some key moments for FC Dallas in the attack. [player_tooltip player_id='26956' first='Lauren' last='Alvarez'] was also excellent for FC Dallas.    [player_tooltip player_id='135910' first='Khari' last='Hontz'], Kansas City Athletics 08 - Hontz really impressed me on Monday. She was great at timing the pass to beat the offside trap. She made a number of highlight reel plays in the game.    Melia Brewer, KC Athletics 08 - The center back tandem of Savanna Pittman and Brewer did well against a dynamic Concorde team. Brewer impressed me with her passing too. She can hit a great pass too.    [player_tooltip player_id='135890' first='Mary' last='Hoffman'], KC Athletics 08 - Hoffman is a speedy winger who can really fly down the touch line. She hits a good cross too. KellyAnn Chada scored a nice goal for KC right before the half.    [player_tooltip player_id='20055' first='Peyton' last='Marinos'], So Cal Blues 08 - Marinos is a handful for the opposition. She is excellent at putting the defenders on their heels as she quickly turns and faces goal. On the ball, she can beat the opposition on the dribble or with a shot from outside of the box. She scored a goal directly off a corner kick on Monday.    [player_tooltip player_id='112490' first='Paige' last='Mouw'], So Cal Blues 08 - Mouw is an attacking midfielder who impressed with her defensive quality. She cleanly won the ball a number of times to start the attack from a dangerous spot.    [player_tooltip player_id='112486' first='Hailey' last='Gallegos'], So Cal Blues 08 - Gallegos did well off her line on Monday. She used her feet to shut down a breakaway and then she also collected the ball to stop another attack.      [player_tooltip player_id='58773' first='MacKenzie' last='Stearns'], So Cal Blues 08 - Stearns, the left back, hit s a great free kick when she has the opportunity to. She was a sound defender as well on Monday as she helped So Cal Blues to a shutout victory.    [player_tooltip player_id='44649' first='Pearl' last='Cecil'], San Diego Surf 08 - I thought she was the best player I saw on the day. She is the type of player who can really do anything and has unlimited potential.
