Strong on the ball. Good passer with either foot. Reads the game well and gets into the right spots. Key playmaking traits from a midfielder. Shows good instincts defensively to be an impact player on both sides of the ball.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["276181"],"_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-677c1b2a1f791"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pinto is an attacking midfielder on the SUSA G09 ECNL team. She has been outstanding for club and high school. She brings a lot of positive attributes in the attack, but it's her defense that shines when compared to her peers. She is not the biggest player on the field, but it feels like she never loses a duel. She has a lower body strength and excellent technique. The way she can knock the opposition off balance with her hip and then cleanly win the tackle makes her a valuable asset in the press. Pinto offers quite a bit for her team when on the ball. She's a good finisher with either foot. She's a clever passer. She's got the potential to be a top attacking midfielder in this class.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["110756"],"_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-677c1b2a1f7d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lasky is a midfielder for World Class FC. She is confident on the ball and dominant in her play. She controls the center of the field. Even in the terrible playing conditions at the recent ECNL event, she made it look easy with her great first touch and ability to play with her head up. Lasky makes it look easy, but she's a rare talent in that midfield role.&nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["110802"],"_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-677c1b2a1f81a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeifman is a midfielder for the East Meadow 09 ECNL team. She is a skillful player with great ball skills. She keeps close control of the ball under pressure and can dance away from defenders with her nimble footwork and quick feet. She is an excellent passer and provides the key pass for her club team regularly.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["110763"],"_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-677c1b2a1f87e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stronski is a midfielder on the World Class 09 ECNL team. She is part of the US Youth National Team player pool. An incredible talent that will be getting looks from top programs across the country, she offers elite pace and terrific ball striking. Stronski is a versatile midfielder with a well-rounded game. She dominates at the club level playing against her peers. She should be a top player to scout at upcoming ECNL events.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["276166"],"_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-677c1b2a1f8d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mendolia is a midfielder on the East Meadow Soccer Club 09 ECNL team. She can play forward as well. I think her best skills translate to the midfield position. Her strength on the ball and her skill are the best attributes. She has elite playmaking qualities on the ball. She is confident with possession of the ball and plays with her head up. Mendolia is a player that stands out from game film. She is a determined prospect who continues to improve. She should be one to watch this season as she continues to make a name for herself.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
