Expert Analysis
Roddy Nieto | Prep Soccer Scout
The standout from IMG academy had a strong performance against the eventual U17 Champs – Galaxy SC – in the quarters. Minor was great on 50/50 balls defensively, and very intelligent in the attacking part of the field. She changed pace very well to explode into dangerous areas and deliver crosses into the opposing box. She beat the first defender that confronted her in possession virtually every time she received the ball and showed a great work rate tracking back to win the ball. As the game went on, it seemed IMG depended more on her to get higher up the field and create those chances. They seemed one touch away from getting back into the game, but it never quite worked out as IMG went out 0-2.

Minor is a wide midfielder/winger on the IMG Academy 08 GA team. She plays on the left wing, but she is right footed. She tends to cut inside to rip off the shot. Minor is a great a great two-way player. She is a sound 1v1 defender and can hold her own in any duel. She is physical in the tackle and uses her body well to dispossess the opposition. Minor is a bit one-foot dominant. She tends to reach with her right – in both the tackle and when intercepting the pass. She threw herself off-balance when she does this and leaves an opening for the opposition to get around her and makes it more difficult for her to recover. She has the recovery speed that it rarely matters at the club level, but it will matter in the future when the room for error is small. Minor has plenty of time to improve and develop that aspect of her game and she is in the right place for that.
