Expert Analysis
Guilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Taylor will be with FC Dallas G08 in their matches against Sporting Blue Valley, SLSG Navy and Evolution SC – Mercurial RL. She recently returned to action with her high school team after missing several months due to a brutal ACL injury and will have her first opportunity to compete against elite club teams in a long time. Taylor is a very complete striker and her game should make her team even stronger offensively when she’s back at full pace. Because of her background in futsal, she’s great at dribbling in tight spaces and beating defenders with quick moves. Taylor is also physical enough to battle inside the penalty box and make holdup plays and can finish extremely well with either foot.

Taylor impressed with her ability to do-it-all up top. She scored FC Dallas 08’s game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory against Sporting Blue Valley 08 on Monday, but was important for her team in a variety of plays. Taylor is very strong physically and can make some good holdup play by using her body to shield the ball. A stellar futsal player, she knows how to operate in tight spaces like few others and is also very good with her passing. Taylor also uses both feet well to finish and pass and is very accurate when taking corner kicks.

A very complete forward, Taylor occupied Sporting’s backline during the entire match and on some occasions, opponents would even double up on her. She displayed great resources, both physically and technically and always found intelligent solutions when the ball found her up top. Taylor was also very efficient when taking corner kicks and ended up scoring the team’s game-winning goal.
