She plays on the left wing for her club team. She's right footed, physical, and has a nose for the goal. She scored a terrific goal over the weekend against [program_tooltip program_id='283514' first='VDA' last=''], which showcased all of the best parts of her game. She was quick to react to a ball in the box, used her strength to hold off a defender, buried the shot into the corner for the tally for her side. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bilyeu has this bit of magic to her game in the final third that makes her an exciting prospect. She is a smart player with excellent game awareness.

She's dynamic on the ball, quick feet, and close control. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davitt returned to the field at the start of the season after missing a part of last season due to injury. Based on her play recently, she is playing at an even higher level than before. She's splitting time between the U16 and U15 ECNL teams this season. She's been a prolific contributor against older competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davitt has the quality to shine against the best of the best at the club level.

She's been a key player for that team for a few years. Murphy is a player who is a valuable asset in her ability to fit into what situation is called for during the game. I don't believe she has started every game this season, but she's found her way onto the field and stood out from the action. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>She's a determined midfielder.

Her main attribute is her activity. She is always on the move and working to create chances for her side. She has been a thorn in the side of a number of defenders with her non-stop engine. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roney impressed with her play in recent games. She is comfortable with the ball on either foot. She can take on defenders going in either direction and can finish in a variety of ways.

She will put in a tackle just as frequently as she will get into the attack to try to get on the end of a cross. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seager seems to take pride in winning her duel and that competitive nature is contagious about the [program_tooltip program_id='283514' first='VDA' last=''] squad.

She can do-everything as the No. 10 and pops up all over the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her instincts in the center of the field are a key part of her game and her team's success. She runs the show in a lot of ways. She's an exceptional passer with the quality on the ball to play with her head up at all times.
