The Sunshine State: 2027s But With a Twist

Florida continues to prove it is a growing hotbed for girls' lacrosse talent, and, in this case, South Florida! Headlined by five Division I commits, this group of athletes has already made a name for itself.   The twist? All five players compete for Florida Select Lacrosse, a nationally ranked 2027 club team often regarded as one of the best in the state. Even more impressive, all five also play together at American Heritage Delray on the high school level. With that kind of talent sharing the same field, they might as well be called the Fabulous Five. Let's see what they're all about!     Switter is a big name in the 2027 class, and for good reason. She combines height, speed, and quick feet with the ability to use both hands seamlessly. Switter is a monster in the draw circle, as she controls possession and follows it up with efficient dodges. She also makes a strong impact on the defensive end, making her one of the most complete players in the class. The top recruit will continue her collegiate career at the University of North Carolina.     Sanchez plays with power and purpose. She is a heavy driver and is not afraid to re-attack until she puts the ball in the back of the net. Sanchez plays lockdown defense, helping her team turn defense into scoring opportunities. Her gritty style of play allows her to stay involved on both sides of the ball, making her a reliable presence in the midfield. Sanchez will take her expertise to Princeton University.     A lefty attacker with a heavy drive to the cage, [player_tooltip player_id='70951' first='Brittney' last='Friedman'] is tough to guard. Her ability to drive forces defenders to slide early, and out of that, she will find the open teammate. The combination of her left-handed shot and physical driving style sets her up for great success in her game. Not to mention Friedman's laser lefty shot from the 8 meter. Friedman will continue playing at the next level with the Towson Tigers.     [player_tooltip player_id='70952' first='Delany' last='Thompson'] is a gritty low attacker who thrives around the crease. She loves a good crease roll and is dangerous from X. With a mix of her speed, shiftiness, and stickwork, she creates plenty of scoring opportunities for herself. Thompson also brings a great sidearm shot around the crease and has the vision to deliver clean assists to her teammates. The attacker from Parkland, Florida, will head to Stetson University.     [player_tooltip player_id='70953' first='Tess' last='Reilly'] brings a calming presence to the goal. Though she is small, she is mighty. Reilly plays smart and stays active in the net. Her athleticism and decision-making allow her to shut down offensive threats and keep her team in games when it matters most. The stud from Boca Raton will take her talents to Liberty University.
