<p>Five players from Marin FC exemplify what it means to work hard, to play with intensity and to play with physicality. They also demonstrate great skills and abilities as these five certainly represent their club very well and are standouts on the ECNL scene.</p>

<p>Addie Covey, Forward, 2007 Blue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Covey is a very unique player, and a special, creative player. She is capable of getting at players on the dribble, and her ability to beat defenders allows her to create. She creates for not only herself, but for her teammates. She's a tremendous athlete who is dynamic in that she buzzes around the pitch.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='54231' first='Riley' last='Pearson'], Central Midfielder, 2007 Blue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pearson has a very high work rate and a motor that never quits. She also has great athleticism and ability, she times her runs into the box well and she covers a lot of ground, going box-to-box.</p>

<p>Mari Rode, Central Defender, 2006 Blue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rode plays with great intensity and is a total ball winner as a center back. She plays very smart, whether she's on the ball or defending off the ball. She also gets involved in possession and can be a difference maker there, too.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='54228' first='Marissa' last='Ryan Scanlan'], Central Midfielder, 2007 Blue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Scanlan does a lot of things very well. She is an excellent ball-winner in the midfield. She works incredibly hard and leads by example as teammates want to work as hard as she does. She also plays with great intensity.</p>

<p>Kacy Walker, Outside Defender, 2006 Blue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Walker is a physically imposing player and an excellent ball winner on the outside. She is very fit, and with good size she also has good speed and can make an impact going up and down the line on the outside.</p>
