The Bethesda standout has earned a significant role with DC Power. She is also part of the US Youth National Team program. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perrotta has a professional mindset. She studies game film, she learns about her opponent, and she has the mentality to always want to be the best on the field. The attacking talent has shined in recent months, which puts her at the top of the national rankings for this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perrotta is one to watch from the 2028 class as she continues to prove herself against better competition at every opportunity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["169424"],"_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-68af487a4c5b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Guerrero is a top ranked defender in this class. She's been part of the US Soccer Youth National team in the past. She is a well rounded center back with potential to be the best center back in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She's confident and comfortable on the ball. She can beat the press either with the pass or off the dribble. There are characteristics to her game that suggest a professional future especially with her passing ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guerrero does dive in too much defensively. She needs to be better keeping her feet moving and not charging into tackles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["317727"],"_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-68af487a4c646"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hassan is a rapid riser in the rankings. A top goalkeeper from Illinois, she has earned a reputation as one of the best in the ECNL. She's earned a spot in the Youth National Team program with her recent play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hassan might be a unique prospect for the position. She's a physical, aggressive goalkeeper with fearless approach to coming off her line. She almost plays the position like she is playing tackle football at times. I don't mean that she is reckless and seeking contact, but rather she doesn't shy away from letting the opposition know she owns the 18-yard box and they will feel her presence if they test her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hassan has strong hands and secures the ball with excellent technique. She has good footwork and quick reflexes. The blueprint for a top goalkeeper at the international level is there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["166708"],"_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-68af487a4c6fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Higgins is another top goalkeeper in this class. She reminds me quite a bit of Evan O'Steen - multisport athlete, ridiculously athletic, and, shockingly, can play on the field as well at the highest level of the club game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the emphasis on goalkeepers to be contributors with the ball at their feet, Higgins' comfort on the ball is a huge asset. It's not the only strong part of her game. She might be able to fly. There are very few youth players with her diving ability. She backs it up with strength. She keeps shots out of her net that would score on any other goalkeeper in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In terms of potential, Higgins is in a tier by herself for her position. As she continues to put together consistent performances, there is every reason to believe she could end up as the top goalkeeper in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["223014"],"_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-68af487a4c783"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Curry is a rapid riser in the rankings based on her playoff performances. She is a player who can dominate that game as a forward or an outside back. Considering her prowess as a defender and the longer runway at right back, that is probably her position at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She has elite speed and looks ready for the challenges of competing against better competition. It's only a matter of time before she gets the opportunity to show that against NWSL talent in training environments. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
