Expert Analysis
Anthony McPherson | Prep Soccer Scout
The most dominant center back I witnessed in San Diego and arguably one of the elite defenders throughout the entire tournament. Cena’s physical presence immediately sets her apart – her size advantage over the competition creates an intimidating force that opposing forwards struggled to match all weekend.
What makes Cena special isn’t just her physicality, but her tactical awareness and technical ability. She consistently demonstrated perfect timing on when to use her head versus when to settle the ball and pick out the right option. Her throw-in delivery from the final third rivals most players’ corner kicks, creating legitimate scoring chances and adding another dimension to her team’s attack.
In 1v1 scenarios, Cena was virtually unbeatable, using her strength and positioning to dominate duels while maintaining composure under pressure. Her field awareness allowed her to read developing plays and make crucial interventions before danger materialized.
College programs seeking a game-changing center back who can anchor the defense while contributing offensively will find Cena’s combination of size, skill, and soccer intelligence impossible to replicate. This is a prospect who can transform a program’s defensive identity from day one.
