One of the top performances by a center back in this year’s ECNL Nationals came from Dirschl. In the Championship match, she overpowered her opponents using raw strength and athleticism. Her height is a problem on set pieces on both the attacking and defensive thirds. Kendyl boasts superior height and an unprecedented aerial game that is reminiscent of a future Oklahoma Sooner teammate of hers, Ally Laccinole. Having them both on the back line at the same time will be unreal. Kendyl has elite ball control and thoughtful clearances that help her attacking teammates become successful consistently. The Best XI is where Kendyl should be and will be in the future.
