She plays as a defensive midfielder for her club side. She is a leader on the field. She sets the tone for her side with her tackling and distribution. She is clean with her first touch and likes to play simple soccer with either one or two-touch and allows her teammates to shine. Meyer has the tools to be a standout in her role.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["164261"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eAguerrevere is a midfielder/forward on the Colorado Rush 09 GA team. She is a creative attacking talent. She was one of the standouts from the Girls Academy event in December. She can play in a variety of roles - attacking midfielder, wing, or even center forward. The way she plays makes me believe she watches a ton of soccer. She makes some unconventional runs off the ball - and usually has really good timing on her runs to break the offside trap. Aguerrevere is an impactful player at the club level and continues to impress for her Rush side.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["111397"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eSabus is a midfielder on the Colorado Rapids 09 ECNL team. She is a do-everything midfielder. Her defensive quality immediately stands out from game film. She is quick to get into the tackle and she likes to dictate where the game is played with her effort on that side of the ball. Her balance in the challenge is perhaps overlooked as its rare for her to lose a duel thanks to her strength and technique. She always keeps her feet. She does well in progressing passes up the field as she plays with her head up. She's right footed. Sabus could improve as a distributor. She tends to narrow her focus on one side of the field. She has an unrelenting engine and offers full-field runs too. She's scored in recent ECNL games with her pace and quality in the open field. Overall, her well-rounded game should make her a prospect that appeals to the playing style for many programs.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["111350"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eWells is a midfielder on the Real Colorado 09 ECNL team. She plays defensive midfield for her club team. It feels like she is the unsung hero for her team in many games. She does a lot of the work in the midfielder without getting much of the credit - she doesn't pop on the scoresheet all the often. Wells is a player who will have a lot of fans among scouts at the next level because of how she sees the game. She has the soccer brain that will let her thrive when the speed of play is faster. She's one to know from this group.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["111341"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eO'Connor is a midfielder on the Real Colorado 09 ECNL team. She previously played for Colorado Rush - like a few of her current teammates. She was a decorated player at the Girls Academy level and has been just as impactful in ECNL. O'Connor is lethal on set pieces. She has a sweet right foot that can bury any chance within 35 yards. Her delivery on crosses is also very good. She has this knack for hitting the ball in the exact spot where the goalkeeper thinks a defender will get it and a defender is relying on the goalkeeper. Playing off of the communication weakness with her placement has resulted in a few goals this season for the Real Colorado standout.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["111511"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eKnopinski is a midfielder on the Real Colorado Athletico 09 ECNL. I believe she wears the captain's armband for her club team. She is a bit of an all-everything player. She covers a ton of ground during the game and makes an impact in every facet. She has a bit of magic in her in the final third and has been a key player in the attack for her side. Knopinski is creative with her passing - it might be a sticking point for some scouts as she can be too reliant on extravagant passing attempts from time-to-time, but she regularly pulls it off.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["20500"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eLinder is a midfielder on the Real Colorado National 08 ECNL team. It looks like she wears the captain's armband for her club team. She can play as either a box-to-box midfielder or as a defensive midfielder. She had a strong showing during the recent ECNL Event. She is sharp in the tackle and offered a quick hit on the transition to create chances for her team. Linder was a standout in the midfield at the event.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d9044682bbc"} /-->
