About Sienna
Expert Analysis
Anthony McPherson | Prep Soccer Scout
There’s a reason crowds fall silent when Sienna touches the ball—her electrifying speed combined with strong footwork make for absolutely captivating soccer to watch. This uncommitted dynamo has redefined what it means to be a utility player, showcasing elite-level proficiency whether she’s terrorizing defenses as an attacking winger or locking down opposing stars as a wingback.
Her tactical brilliance was perfectly encapsulated in Otay Ranch’s rivalry clash with Olympian HS, where she scored the match-winner in just five minutes as a winger, then completely neutralized Cal Poly commit Sari Murphy after switching to wingback. It’s that rare combination of game-changing offense and lockdown defense that has made her a back-to-back CIF All-League First Team selection and team MVP.
What excites me most about watching Sienna at the showcase is witnessing that special moment when she receives possession—that collective anticipation from both sets of fans who know they’re about to see something extraordinary.

Attacking Winger/ Right wingback
Sienna tops the list with an insane amount of upside, redefining the term ‘utility player’, she demonstrates positional versatility with a high level of competence. In a soccer landscape where specialists often dominate the conversation, Sienna emerges as the ULTIMATE SWISS ARMY KNIFE, demolishing positional boundaries with elite-level proficiency across the pitch.
Respicio’s tactical adaptability was on full display during Otay Ranch’s high-stakes clash with rival Olympian HS. Starting as an attacking winger, she needed just FIVE MINUTES to break the deadlock with a clinical finish that would prove to be the match-winner. Then came the tactical masterstroke: repositioned to wingback, she completely NEUTRALIZED the highly-touted Surf SC standout and Cal Poly commit Sari Murphy for the remainder of the contest—a defensive lockdown that showcased her remarkable two-way capabilities.

The hardware tells the story of a player operating at an entirely different level—team goals leader, season MVP, and back-to-back CIF All-League First Team selections in a TALENT RICH league of San Diego. The team captain’s armband as a junior merely formalizes what anyone watching already knows: Sienna is the heartbeat of this squad, elevating standards through relentless daily commitment.
What truly separates her from the pack is that unmistakable electricity when she receives possession. The sudden hush followed by collective anticipation from BOTH sets of supporters speaks volumes—even rival fans can’t help but acknowledge they’re witnessing something special. This is no ordinary prospect; this is a game-changer whose ceiling remains tantalizingly high.
College recruiters seeking that rare combination of tactical intelligence, technical brilliance, leadership presence, and positional flexibility would be wise to move quickly. Players who can impact matches across multiple positions with equal effectiveness don’t remain uncommitted for long.

Respicio was a new name for me at the event. She is a talented outside back. Her two-way play stood out. She is quick and uses that to her advantage defensively. She has fast feet to get into the tackle and dig the ball away quickly. On the ball, she is good at attacking space and putting in the slip pass when the opportunity is on. Respicio is a high upside 2026 outside back.
