She can play as a defensive midfielder or a box-to-box midfielder. Quick feet, always working to show for the ball, and good at reading the play are some of the strengths of Sullivan's game. She's impressed at the ECNL level and plays a starring role on one of the top teams in the Northeast in the 08 age group. Sullivan has a lot of strengths to her game and plays with a ton of confidence. She's always working off the ball to show for her teammates. She could improve on using her body to shield players off the ball and quickening decision-making with possession. Sullivan's got the potential to make the leap into the elite category of midfielders. She's a driven player who has consistently made an impact at the ECNL level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["286411"],"_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-681271b4ba892"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Heavey is a forward/defender for the Scorpions 08 ECNL team. She can play either role at the next level - even wingback or outside midfield. She had an outstanding campaign for her high school at forward. She was a prolific scorer at that level. She recently played left back at the ECNL event for her club team and it was impressive to see her shine that role as well. The speed is apparent immediately on game film. She plays with pace at a way that wreaks chaos on the opponent. Heavey is a dual-sport athlete (basketball) and that competitive fire shines on the field and court.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["110772"],"_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-681271b4ba8db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Balunos is a midfielder on the Scorpions 09 ECNL team. She was ECNL New England All-Conference First Team last season. She still might be under-the-radar due to her team's record during this campaign. She's one of the top midfielders in the class. She is a two-way player who is fierce in the tackle and silky smooth on the ball. Balunos' quick-decision making and artistic style of play would make her an ideal fit for a program that plays demanding, high-pressing style. She'd thrive in a transitions-focused attack. Balunos' skill and speed play make her a top prospect in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["286125"],"_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-681271b4ba91e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoff is an outside back on the [program_tooltip program_id='283706' first='NEFC' last=''] 09 GA team. She is likely a left back at the next level. Hoff's strength comes from her defensive quality. She's an excellent 1v1 defender. She likes to mark tight to the player and use her strength, physicality, and intelligence to win the duel. She has shined at the Girls Academy level and was recently highlighted as one of the top performers from the <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/2025/04/generation-adidas-cup-first-team-xis/">Generation Adidas event in Florida</a>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["168130"],"_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-681271b4ba95e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tressler is a soccer player. She could play any spot on the field. She's left footed, but plays outside back on the right at times. She's an excellent ball striker and scored quite a few goals from outside of the box. The appeal of Tressler is her ability to play any position and also make an impact in any role. She offers high upside in a ton of attributes, and already has shown the passing ability on par with college players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
