Expert Analysis
Anthony McPherson | Prep Soccer Scout
The most complete holding midfielder I evaluated all weekend. Galvan possesses the rare combination of defensive tenacity and offensive creativity that makes her a game-changer from the deep-lying position. Her thunderous right foot produced several dangerous strikes from distance, keeping opposing defenses honest and creating space for teammates.
What separates Galvan from other defensive midfielders is her ability to stretch the field vertically. She consistently delivered pinpoint lead passes that split lines and created scoring chances, while her set piece delivery from corners and free kicks was consistently dangerous. Defensively, she’s fearless in the tackle and wins crucial duels in transition.
College programs searching for a holding midfielder who can anchor the defense while contributing offensively will find Galvan’s skillset invaluable. Her soccer IQ allows her to read the game two steps ahead, and her range of passing opens up tactical flexibility that coaches crave. This is a prospect who can transform a program’s midfield immediately.
