Whipple’s XF Academy team went undefeated, earning two wins and a tie, and was one of the best defensive sides in the event, allowing only one goal in three matches. She led the team’s backline in a 3-1 win over FC Wisconsin, demonstrating a solid defensive game and quality on the ball. With her team on the front foot for most of the time, Whipple was asked to defend in space very often, and she was excellent at it, showing good pace to track back and using her body very well to win duels. The center back was extremely valuable in possession as well, stepping into the attacking half and delivering accurate long balls and passes behind the backline.
