<p class="text-gray-700">Piper is a defender with the characteristics needed to excel as a full back. Defensively, she has proven herself to be intelligent and solid. This shines through the most when she plays as a center back. Though she's a great center back, she shines the most as a left back. She has the dribbling, vision, and passing needed to become a player who propels her team forward from the back. Goalscoring is another fantastic characteristic she has in her locker.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Chloe is one of the most physically and mentally dominant defenders in her class. She goes into tackles with great strength while keeping it clean. When she needs to shoulder attackers off the ball, she does so without any issue. Her pace is also fantastic, keeping up with and even outpacing attackers who are running into space. Mentally, she asserts herself over the attackers on one-on-one situations. Before she needs to go in for a tackle, she reads down the attacker and forces them to do what she wants them to. She knows how to time her lunges and tackles to regain possession before the opponent even realizes it. Her potential is phenomenal, especially considering how strong her strongest attributes are.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Adeline is an incredibly talented and intelligent center back who also shines brightly thanks to her technical ability. It's rare to see a technical center back, and she is one of those few gems. When she regains possession, she has the clarity to know exactly what the play needs. She drives the ball forward immediately after winning it back, switching from defense into attack wonderfully. Defensively, she anticipates plays fantastically. She wins the ball back before the opponent can react to her presence. Also, she's fast and strong which allows her to step to attackers effectively. In possession, she remains calm under pressure and constantly acts as a great launching point for attacks from deep with her passes.</p>
