She is likely to join Travers and Aguilar at the U-17 FIFA World Cup making that 3 players from this conference expected to be competing at the highest level possible for this age group. The MVLA playmaker can play anywhere in midfield and anywhere in the front 3 and looks dangerous anytime she touches the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

I am really excited to see how this age group plays out this season. Many of these young ladies are headed into their last ECNL season and every one of them are looking to go out with a bang. The best of luck to all participating I wish you success and good health throughout the season.
