<p class="text-gray-700">Purdue University commitment Abi-Saab is a midfielder whose comfort on the ball is one of her best skills. She loves to dribble past defenders to open space and progresses the ball with her passing range easily as well. She is not afraid to fight defenders off to protect the ball in physical duals. Abi-Saab is capable of playing anywhere in the midfield and knows when to change the tempo of the attack. She is also not afraid to get stuck into challenges high up the pitch. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Funk loves to use her speed to her advantage on the wings but can also play the provider role through the middle of the pitch. While on the smaller side, she finds herself scoring many headed goals in the box by picking up good spaces. Funk is a natural finisher and always looks to take leadership in the attack for her team. Radford University has found another great potential player for next fall. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Javers is calm on the ball and in tight spaces. The Columbia University commitment likes to drop deeper at times to be the progressor but thrives on the wing, where she can take defenders on with her dribbling and technical ability. Defensively, she times her counterpress well when possession has been lost to disrupt and win the ball back to start a counterattack.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Penn State University has found a good one in [player_tooltip player_id='27571' first='Lilli' last='Lubic']. She is comfortable with both feet, patient in front of goal, and clinical when she gets her chances. Lubic makes intelligent vertical runs behind defenders and is good at finding open spaces to receive the ball and provide a progressive option for her team. </p>
