Lilly Rineer
Lilly Rineer
Rineer was one of the more impressive players I saw on the day in how she bossed the midfield for her team against West Deptford Fury. She was on the ball a lot and when she was looked dangerous both in her ability to create chances for herself and for her teammates. She scored a lovely goal from just outside the box too in a 2-0 win.
Abby Sweeney
Abby Sweeney
Elite Soccer Academy was pretty dominant in their match against Phoenixville and one of the sparks to the attack was Sweeney in central midfield. Her ability to dictate play and push forward on the half-turn stood out on a team that was clicking on all cylinders on the day.
Jilly Deivert
Jilly Deivert
Deivert was a little unlucky on the finish on the day but every time she was in and around the ball she was creating problems getting past defenders on the left flank and either cutting in to shoot or crossing the ball.
Kelly Quinn
Kelly Quinn
Quinn made some really nice stops to keep her team in it during a tough match against a bright attacking team in Penn Manor Comets. She looked commanding coming off her line and keeping would-be goals out of the net.
Gracie Coyne
Gracie Coyne
Back Mountain overwhelmed RUSA from the opening kickoff, particularly through the combination play of Coyne and Ava Blazes down the right flank. Coyne was creating off the ball and making darting runs into the box that put the game out of reach early for Back Mountain.

Williams is a player who is usually hard to miss because of how often she is creating dangerous opportunities in the final third. I didn’t see her put any away in Warrington’s game against Western New York Flash in the time I was there but she had several dangerous crosses and a couple chances in front of goal that put the defense on their backheel.
Devyn O’Malley
Devyn O’Malley
O’Malley was heavily involved in the play on both sides of the field and was a big part of many of her team’s brightest moments going forward and in transition from defense to attack.
Haley Adams
Haley Adams
Adams was very active playing in more of a defensive role in Elite Academy’s win over Phoenixville but her lock down defending and ball winning was critical in springing many of their promising attacks going forward.
