<p class="text-gray-700">Burkholder is a goalkeeper with [program_tooltip program_id='283282' first='Challenge' last='SC'] and was selected as the second-best prospect in our Rankings. She played up with the club's 15s teams in the last ECNL season and performed as a veteran, producing impressive stops between the posts and providing some vocal leadership to their backline. Much of Burkholder's efficiency in goal comes from her ability to read plays and react to them, but she's also extremely skilled, making use of superior technique and superior body moves to make saves when she has to. Present in several US Soccer ID camps, she's very calm, makes the right choices with her saves and can deliver accurate long passes and punts out of the back.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A defensive midfielder with Solar SC, Cook appears in fourth place in our Rankings. She played for their 15s team in the last ECNL season and was mostly used as a defensive midfielder, but can also contribute in central defense. Cook is a true two-way player as she gets to shield the team's backline and contribute in possession with the same high level of efficiency. Standing at 5'9", she has the physical tools to dominate the center of the field and is very intelligent and effective on the ball, connecting great passes and helping it get to the team's attacking players.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bledsoe is a winger/attacking midfielder with [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] who was placed seventh in our Rankings. A dynamic and highly skilled offensive player, she was with their 15s team in the last ECNL season and was one of the catalysts in their attack. Bledsoe typically plays on the left side and is very dangerous when on the ball because she's excellent at beating opponents off the dribble, but also thrives at combining with her teammates and moving off the ball, making her game very unpredictable. Another player who has been in US Soccer ID camps, she has an extremely high work rate on the field and is a productive goalscorer, using both her quality when finishing from distance and her ability to pop in great spots inside the penalty box to get the ball into the back of the net.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Perez plays for [program_tooltip program_id='283317' first='[program_tooltip program_id='280767' first='DKSC' last='']' last=''] and made it to the top 20 of our Rankings, appearing in 19th place. A smooth midfielder, she played for the club's 15s team in the ECNL League and made a major impact in the center of the field. Perez is a very intelligent and efficient player who moves very well off the ball and always offers a passing option to her teammates. She's also capable of making things happen when in possession, using her superior passing range and vision to find solutions to plays and dribbling ability to create space against well-organized backlines. </p>
