<p class="text-gray-700">The Mclean midfielder will look to net some goals in the post season. Her ability to finish from different distances will be hard to anticipate for any defensive line. What stands out the most is her shots outside the box and how easy she makes them look with equal power and precision. With 34 goals this season and 14 assists, proving to impact the game as a finisher and distributor. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Another midfielder capable of scoring, Raymundo sticks with the play, stays patient, and allows the sequence to develop before continuing her run to find the net. Her timing on runs, combined with her quick bursts, allows her to get behind back lines. She's the type of midfielder who reads gaps early, accelerates through them, and turns those moments into real scoring chances.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Otto knows how to find pockets in the attack wether thats the top of the 6 or the 18. Like any great attacking mid she roams the middle with patience and getting open for a goal opportunity. That blend of patience, awareness, and attacking instinct gives her a real chance to create defining moments when her team needs them most. All of these qualities make her a midfielder that can strike Tophat to the qualifiers.<br></p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sage has a great combination of speed, athleticism, and skill, and all of them lead to goal. Being 5'11, her advantage in stride allows her to create space on the wing and separate from defenders with ease. The winger has an effortless shot, a key eye for goal, and could be a major key to the success Atletico has in the playoffs. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">She uses her frame well, opens up her hips to strike cleanly, and doesn't need many touches to generate power. With her blend of size, pace, and natural scoring instincts, she has the tools to change a match when it matters most.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rubio will take her creativity, her shiftiness and her eager push towards net will be on full display in the playoffs. Rubio is a standout on the field not only with her footwork but what she can ultimately produce in the final third. Her understanding of slowing the game down followed by what looks like a developed burst of speed are all attributes any team wants in an attacker.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The winger does a great job and taking her first touch towards the middle of the pitch and towards goal. Like any effective winger Bray has the speed and quickness to drive down the line in the box and get pass the keeper. She will look to take her goal scoring ability to help Syracuse this playoff run. Staying active in possession, reading the defender's hips, and uses that first touch to create the angle she wants. With that blend of pace, timing and confidence on the ball, she becomes a real threat to create the type of moments Syracuse will need in the postseason. </p>
