<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Florida continues to establish itself as a serious area to watch for elite girls' lacrosse talent, and this group of athletes is a perfect example of that rise. From dominant upperclassmen to young players already making varsity impacts, these standouts are proving they belong on the big stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["70823"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":72064,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69efaa9e97490"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true offensive threat, [player_tooltip player_id='70823' first='Lexington' last='Zorumski'] is an immediate standout every time she steps on the field. A lefty dominant attacker, she uses her angle and speed to her advantage, consistently blowing past defenders with ease. Her shifty style and ability to control the ball under pressure make her incredibly difficult to contain. Zorumski can confidently use both hands, adding another layer to her game. With elite speed and playmaking ability, the Vanderbilt University commit is a force to be reckoned with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["46928"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":72072,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69efaa9e97537"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='46928' first='Isabella' last='Virtue'] has emerged as one of the premier midfielders in the nation.
