About Lyla
Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Kocher is a midfielder on the Penn Fusion 2011 ECNL team. She was part of the US U14 Girls National Team Northeast Region Mini-Camp last year (2025). She’s been called into a number of US Talent ID events.
Kocher is an unreal talent. She’s a star at the 2011 age group, which means she’s getting the better of the top talent from the 2029 class. She’s a towering presence on the field. She has all the tools to be an elite box-to-box midfielder – and probably should be in the Youth National Team for the 2011 age group considering the potential she has shown this season. Kocher’s best moments are her decision-making. She’s quick to assess options and she’s often a step or two ahead of the competition. She’s a target on set pieces and does well creating space from the defender with her off-the-ball runs.
Kocher is a smart player who is skillful – she can bury a shot from 30 yards from the run of play. She is a well rounded player with elite upside.
