She really controls the midfield well, pulling the strings, and it is a joy to watch her operate. She is strong in every facet of the game as she dissects the game well, she makes accurate passes, she shows great vision, patience and balance. She's tremendous on the ball, so calm and poised and hard to dispossess. She can finish as well, showing the ability to score when she is pushed up into a dangerous spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["146363"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674f4554d635b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fraser is a versatile defender, one who can contribute in all aspects of the game. She's very good with her feet, meaning she can dispossess attackers well, and she has quick feet which allows her to stay with an agile, nimble attacking player. She's tough, she's strong in the air and she likes to win the ball. She helps transition with her ability to possess and her ability to pass, and she will even push up and get involved in the attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["54211"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674f4554d63ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conroy is a really fun player to watch as the St. Joseph's commit can do just about everything on the pitch. She's tremendous with both feet as it is hard to tell which one is even her dominant one. She possess well, operating in the midfield with confidence on the ball as she can make people miss, she moves the ball well and shows a high level of comfort. She can really put her foot through the ball as well, showing the ability to strike from distance. She moves well, she knows how to find the best spaces to occupy and be a threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["82782"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674f4554d6437"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sumner is one of those players that helps the team run and without her, they would not be the same. She's an engine at the No. 6 spot, as she does it all. She plays the ball accurately and quickly, knowing when to ping it out wide or when to play it into space into the middle of the pitch. She likes to then continue on down the pitch and make herself available to her teammates. She's also very good defensively as she adds a ton of value in her ability to thwart attacks, to disrupt and to really break up an opponents attack in the midfield before it really gets started. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["146238"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-674f4554d649f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conway is one of the best midfielders in the class of 2027 as she is an ODP and PDP player. She is a midfielder with tremendous skill, and enjoys having the ball at her feet. She has excellent agility, with great ability to stop an start. She can really operate in tight spaces well and beat multiple defenders because of how tidy her footwork is. She really works hard at it as well, as you will not find many players that train as much or as hard. She is a tremendous playmaker who has great vision, great passing accuracy and a great understanding for the game in a creative sense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
