Good with the ball and carrying the ball well, Kimble keeps the ball close to her feet and looks to dribble to open space. She keeps it simple when shooting, hitting hard and low, making life as a goalie miserable. Kimble is great to bring when looking to add a new edge to the attack or provide more creativity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
