Zoe is one of the standout players for the 2010 Maryland United ECNL team I watch for when I get to catch them. She’s an explosive midfielder with excellent touch and passing, but her highest trait is probably her IQ. She’s an exceptionally smart player, you can see her reading the field, seeing 4 options and ranking them in her head which are the best to worst options, switching to the next up if the defense adjusts to take something away. She’s got goals of being a surgeon when she gets older, and you can almost see that approach when she’s out there on the pitch. Read. Evaluate. Attack. My favorite part of her game is just watching those wheels turn and seeing the way she sees the game. She’s a tough one to pin down.
