Bacon has mastered the give-and-go, using it to great effect throughout the season. In particular, she draws defenders out wide and quickly connects with teammates to bypass pressure and open attacking lanes. With several seasons at New York Athletic Club under her belt, Bacon has become a vital link in the buildup. She transitions play from the back line to the attack with ease. Moreover, her quick decision-making and purposeful movement in tight spaces make her a go-to option when breaking through defensive lines.

Whether she’s driving play down the flank or combining in the midfield. Bacon’s ability to read the game and execute under pressure sets her apart as a true connector on the field.

Headed to the Ivy League and Columbia in 2027 Bacon is a DUSC product from New York. Really good shooter and has a candid ability to create a half a yard of space. Top 40 New York talent is staying in state to continue her career. I think she has the potential to be a day 1 contributor. The Lions
