The holding midfielder may be small, but she plays with a mighty presence. Stepping in front of most balls that cross the middle of the pitch. She shows true midfield instincts, helping on defensive set pieces like crosses, and what she lacks in size she makes up for with her vertical. Highlighted by a clearing header against Alabama. The co‑captain proved her work rate by getting a touch on the ball during every attacking push while remaining just as effective defensively. Consequently she continues to impact both phases of play with consistency and intent.
