Sting Austin had a strong offensive performance against Eastside, but their defensive solidity didn’t go unnoticed, nor Alley’s influence on it. Playing in the center of the back three, the defender led them to a clean sheet, making the most of her excellent positioning and defensive instincts. Alley made many stops inside and around the penalty box, but also did well when she had to defend in space, keeping them under pressure and reading their plays with great accuracy. She also had a major role in possession, moving off the ball to offer an option for them and confidently asking for the ball and connecting quick passes that got them out of pressure.
