The San Juan shot-stopper is another player who impressed during recent events. She was also named to the ECNL Northern California All-Conference First Team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She's an athletic goalkeeper who shined with her athleticism on penalty kick shootouts.She can fly across the goal in a blink of an eye. She's got a quick twitch and a powerful leaper. Spurling is not the tallest prospect for the position, but she shows some of the elite qualities to be a top prospect from this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spurling is going to be on the radar for all college scouts during this upcoming season as she can make the saves that change the game for a team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["334937"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a7c9f20513e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ceron was selected as the Player of the Day during the Playoffs for her club for her exceptional play. There is a lot to like about her game. The easiest way to describe her profile is that she is a modern goalkeeper. Confident with her feet, secure hands, and displays excellent decision-making with her distribution. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ceron has shown incredible resilience over the years as she has grown from finding the right club to fit her style. I believe she is in the perfect spot now and should be a standout for the Legends 2011 ECNL team for the foreseeable future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384406"],"_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-6a7c9f205149d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jessen is another player who benfitted from stellar play during club postseason events. The [program_tooltip program_id='283295' first='City' last='SC'] 2011 GA Blue goalkeeper earned a spot on the Girls Academy Talent ID Southwest event for her consistent play thoughout the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She's a player who comfortable off her line, reads the game well, and keeps her backline organized. She's been a standout for a top team and come up big in key moments of the club games over the course of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44","player_evaluations_0_player":["384278"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":0,"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a7c9f20515b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a goalkeeper on the [program_tooltip program_id='283433' first='Placer' last='United'] 2011 ECNL team. She's been a riser in the rankings with this update. Williams impressed with her secure hands. She is one of the top goalkeepers in the class in securing the ball and not allowing rebounds or second chances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She could afford to be more aggressive off her line especially on crosses and corner kicks. Considering her stature, she can get lost in the traffic. However, she typically comes up with the save and she does track the ball and move her feet to get to the right spots on the save. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295782"],"_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-6a7cba1e672c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Habana is a goalkeeper on the [program_tooltip program_id='283470' first='SDSC' last='Surf'] 2011 Girls Academy team. She was part of the Girls Academy Southwest Talent ID event. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The shot-stopper from Southern California has earned the additional opportunities with her play during the club season. She is often under pressure during the build-out phase for her team - and rises to the occasion if there is a giveaway in a dangerous spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Habana offers the traits of a modern goalkeeper with high upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
