It’s tricky evaluating the VDA girls in this tournament because they are all playing up an age group to balance out the talent. I’m including her in the 2010’s because that’s where they are playing, but 2011 GK Teaghan Zelasko is one of the best. She’s rated the #1 GK in VA in our fledgling ranking system, and I won’t argue that at all. She’s got good height for a GK at 5’8, some coaches are more worried about height than others, but she’s right in that sweet spot of short enough to be agile left to right and tall enough to get to the crossbar. I’m hoping to catch her play live this weekend, she’s been on my list for a bit and I was just waiting to run into her, as I’m really partial to GK and I know she’s going to be a favorite of mine. I’ve got a post planned soon talking about the best GK in the region soon, and she’s definitely on my list.
