Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Kuklick is an outside back/winger on the NC Courage 07 ECNL team. She can play on either side of the formation. She is right footed, but good with either foot. Kuklick’s ideal position is wingback, but the wider appeal of her game might have her as an outside back. Addressing the offensive contributions first, she is excellent in 1v1 situations with using her pace to create advantages. She is quick with the ball at her feet and has an elite burst to get past defenders. She is a good crosser with either foot and has shown good awareness on the ball about when to hit the cross and when to get to the end line and dribble in to get the timing of the runs correct. Defensively, Kuklick is a physical player who uses her strength and long legs to her advantage. She can shutdown attacking players with her defensive instincts and body control in the tackle. Kuklick’s versatility as a wide player should give her plenty of options for the next level as she could make an impact early on in her career in a verity of roles.
