She is so entertaining to watch. Farwell normally operates back at “X” and low on the goalie's right side. A really crafty attacker who can work in tight vicinities because she has quick feet and a quick change of direction. She has a variety of dodges in her bag. Great at dodging and then re-dodging. Farwell can create her own shot and win her 1v1 matchups. She has great vision. She also rides hard to get the ball back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a13154220881"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Colasante is a 2-way midfielder out of Delaware. She works really well off-ball on offense and does most of her damage that way. Colasante times her cuts very well. On her dodges, she can get downhill. She's a good finisher. On the defensive side of the ball, she plays hard and wants to win the ball for her offense. She can take the draw or come in off the circle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47661"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a131542208d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buttner is a 2-way midfielder out of Maryvale Prep (Md.). She can get downhill and turn the corner on offense. Buttner is a natural lefty who can operate all over the field. She has nice feeds, and her shot selection stands out with her powerful lefty shot. She plays good 1v1 defense. Her switches are great on the defensive end; she intercepts passes, and the best thing is she matches sticks with right-handed players. She adds value coming in off the circle, where she can read the ball well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47674"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a13154220935"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harvey is a very aggressive 1v1 defender. She can press far out on defense and play under control. Harvey intercepts passes and reads passing lanes. Her takeaway checks are fun to watch; she throws great checks. Good help slides. She is fast when she clears the ball and will get it over successfully to the offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["47676"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a13154220981"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fontaine is a very fast defender. She is a great clearing defender, which makes her stock go up even higher. This gets defenders on the field at the college level, if they have good stick skills and can clear the ball. She is versatile because she can stay down at the offensive end of the field and play offense. She can score goals and is a good finisher. Fontaine has nice switches on defense and is a solid 1v1 defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
