Christianson is a midfielder on the Michigan Hawks Magic 2010/2011 ECNL team. She was named to the ECNL Midwest All-Conference First Team last season. She was the only player on her team to earn that honor. She’s also been a highly decorated member of the Olympic Development Program including earning a spot on the National Select Team.

She is being listed as a prospect among the defenders because there is a versatility to her game. She can play as a box-to-box midfielder and did often last season. She could also develop into an elite center back. She has the towering height, comfort on the ball, and soccer intelligence to thrive in that role.

Christianson quickly stands out from game film for her height in the center of the pitch. After a few moments, it’s obvious she’s a got the mind for the game too. She does a lot of the little things well for her position – including checking her shoulder before receiving the ball and moving off the ball to create passing lanes.

Christianson has impacted the game for her team at every level and has the potential to continue to be that elite type of talent in whichever role her team utilizes her in the future.
