The attacker will look to get Bethesda on the scoreboard this weekend. Early on, the speedy forward uses quick changes of direction to find space and drive to goal. In transition, she creates separation and forces defenders to recover at difficult angles. As the play continues, her speed off the ball and constant runs make Barnes a threat for any defensive line. By the final whistle, she will be one to watch this showcase.

“Eager for goal” is the best way to describe Barnes’ style of play. Once she sees the net, stopping her becomes a real challenge. Her shooting range is impressive, allowing her to strike from distance or finish tight angles with the same confidence.
Add in the ability to create chances off the dribble, and Barnes becomes a constant threat in any attacking moment.
