Criss is a midfielder on the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals 2012 ECNL team. She has been part of US Soccer Talent ID events in the past. She was also one of the players selected for the US Youth National Team U14 North Region Mini-Camp in April. 

Criss’ skill and quickness jump out from game film. However, it is her toughness and competitiveness that sets her apart from her peers. She’s fearless in the duel and will run through a brick wall to help her team win. She leads with action on the pitch and there is no drop off in her level of competitiveness from game-to-game, which has been key to the Ukrainian 2012’s team success this season. 

She’s a box-to-box midfielder who could also feature as a defensive midfielder. She’s not the tallest player on the pitch, but she often makes the biggest impact with her tackling or passing. She’s got exceptional vision and quality on the ball. Her first touch is good and shows that she can play out of tight spaces. Criss has been a top player in the ECNL this season.
