The 5’11”” GK made it difficult for the offense to take clean shots on goal. Her size can sometimes make opponents second-guess their shots. Evidently in a clean-sheets performance. Emilia went up high for high crosses and pulled down aerial threats with ease, made lateral saves, and cut off attacking lanes. She’s a top-level goalkeeper who should get USYNT scouts calling sooner rather than later.

Lekousis is a goalkeeper on the So Cal Reds 2011 GA team. She is five-foot-10, athletic, and shows exceptionally quick reflexes. The shot-stopper for Reds was incredibly valuable for her club team last season. She was fearless off her line. She did a great job in shutting down chances with her timing of the challenge as well as her technique. Lekousis has good distribution, which includes accurate drop kicks and playing the ball with her feet as an outlet for teammates. Lekousis has the physical frame and athleticism to be a top goalkeeper in this class for the next level.
