Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Murdock is fresh off a really good club season for MLVA ECNL 05. She played as the left center back for MVLA, and given the commitment of Ella Emri Ella Emri 5'9" | D Torrey Pines (CA) | 2024 #23 Nation CA , that is likely going to be her potential position for Stanford as well.

, which says that Stanford landed two of the top local talents from this class. Murdock is a two-footed player – completely. She is comfortable with either foot in possession – both in receiving and passing. She has good vision on the ball and can pick out teammates to break the line. She rushed some decisions on the ball in the past, but it’s a strength of her game as she continues to improve and grow.
She is a strong defender in man-marking situations. Her hips can get square at times when she is defending in space and that area of her game will need to improve considering the skill and speed of the competition she will face at Stanford. She’s been eager to take on challenges and compete for spots in the past, which makes her one to watch among this Stanford class.
