Baxter switched gears in the halftime break and turned a somewhat fruitless first-half performance into solid production, with a goal and two assists in the final 40 minutes. The dynamic midfielder presented a very high work rate to move the ball upfield with direct runs and excellent vision to attempt passes behind the backline. Baxter did very well in following up Dietz’s shot to pick up the rebound and score the team’s third goal by tapping the ball into an open net. She was very good in set pieces, registering an assist off a corner kick, and made a smart run to initiate the play of the team’s fourth and last goal.

Baxter and her Albion Hurricanes FC team got a win and a loss in their trip to Dallas. The dynamic attacking midfielder was one of just a few players on the team to have strong performances in their 2-0 loss to FC Stars Blue. With Albion down two goals early in the match, they had to push forward, and most of what they did offensively went through Baxter. The midfielder looked for the ball the entire time, and tried to make plays while drifting to the left side, showing good ability to dribble it and solid passing vision. Baxter also fired a dangerous shot in goal, which was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.

Baxter was the engine of Albion’s midfield and did the heavy work of connecting the team with class and intelligence. She got on the ball a lot and was very direct and efficient with how she moved it forward, executing nice passes and making strong runs through the center of the field. Baxter did a good job of sliding into the left side of Albion’s attack during the first half and made good plays there, firing a pair of dangerous shots from there, one of which hit the crossbar.

Playing up, Baxter was only on the field during part of the second half, but still managed to make a big impact and play a major role in Albion’s dominant performance.

Operating in central midfield, she brought a lot of intensity to the game, working well on both sides of the ball and helping her team control the center of the field. Baxter was very dynamic and efficient in possession, beating defenders with quick moves and turns and creating space for her to drive the ball forward or find teammates with her accurate passes.

She’s very difficult to stop in progression and also appears well inside the penalty box to finish chances. Baxter is a solid passer too, being capable of connecting with teammates in transition plays and also in buildup plays.
