Kimmel was in goal for the Lamar team that played in the Warrior Bracket, getting a pair of losses and a win. I was there in their only victory in the tournament, a 2-0 triumph over Ridge Point in the Consolation Bracket, and the sophomore did solid work in goal to earn the clean sheet. Lamar was very solid defensively in that match, but Kimmel was there when the team needed her, coming up with nice stops. A vocal leader for the team, the goalkeeper also did very well when putting the ball back in play, finding teammates around or beyond the midfield line with long and accurate punts.

She joined Albion from RISE SC at the tail end of the last season and continues as one of their options in goal for their upcoming campaign. Kimmel is very skilled between the posts and is capable of making impressive saves with her superior reflexes and great positioning. Despite not being very tall, she does well in the air and is comfortable when she has to use her feet. Kimmel is a natural leader and does a great job of communicating with her defenders.
