One of the best goalkeepers from the 2027 class. With multiple USYNT call-ups, it's just a matter of time before she climbs the ranks as a top 10 player. She is another player who is always willing to take on challenges and recently completed her 9th U.S. Soccer Talent ID Center in NorCal. I've evaluated her on at least 4 occasions. Each time it seems as if she's getting stronger, more athletic, and calm and in control. She plays with such intensity that it feeds off on her defensive line, which makes strong buildups from the back. This style of play created opportunities for success as the ECNL team made it to the final round of 16 and lost a heartbreaker. Definitely better days are coming as Molly recently committed to the University of Florida. Can't wait to see what's next in her soccer journey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993901406810722591?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993901406810722591?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player #2 - [player_tooltip player_id='99198' first='Savannah' last='Leifried'] - Mid/For - High School: Ceres - USC commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1994119877322490285?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1994119877322490285?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player #3 - [player_tooltip player_id='111090' first='Teagan' last='Kaefer'] - Mid/Def - High School: Los Gatos - Santa Clara commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993905058820641199?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993905058820641199?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player #4 - [player_tooltip player_id='111109' first='Nina' last='Khoury'] - Mid/Def - High School: Cardinal Newman - Youngstown State commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993906597983363553?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993906597983363553?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player #5 - [player_tooltip player_id='148079' first='Maycee' last='Kirby'] - For/Mid - High School: Del Oro - TCU commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["148079"],"_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-6927e6d0e03ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She was just recently featured in COPA's Talent ID DAY in July as one of the BEST XI.&nbsp; She had a really good game and made a mark on both ends of the pitch.&nbsp; Shutting down the attack and scoring on a beautiful run and finish is what makes her standout at some of the highest levels of competition.&nbsp; The recent TCU (Texas Christian University) commit just finished the NorCal Premier U17 Girls PDP tour against clubs in England.&nbsp; The impressive 4-0 team finish will be something that will be talked about for some time.&nbsp; Definitely looking forward to seeing her rise in the rankings as well as seeing her as a USYNT call up sooner rather than later.&nbsp; I've evaluated her on 4 or more occasions and she's always consistently playing at a high level.&nbsp; Her speed, lock-down defense, and finishing skills are what sets her apart from the rest. She's a certified goal scorer and versatile player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993908442336296976?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993908442336296976?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player #6 - [player_tooltip player_id='206659' first='Avery' last='Edson'] - Defender - High School: Los Gatos - Hawaii commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993909653328232640?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BayAreaSocScout/status/1993909653328232640?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
