Mackenzie is coming off of winning a VA Class 6 State Championship with Deep Run, adding another accomplishment to an impressive list. Vanags is a very good defender in space. Her height and length make it difficult for opposing attackers to get by her. She also has great awareness, doing a lot of the work before the ball is even near her. She shows this high IQ when playing as a LB, CB, or RB, as she can truly play anywhere in the back line and be just as effective. Her toughness as a ball winner when she contests a 50/50 or a set piece played into the box also stands out as she comes out on top more often than not. Vanags is also a wonderful distributor. She is capable of playing quick, short, accurate passes to break pressure, and also playing accurate, long passes when she is able to get her head up and pick out teammates.
