Davis's tall frame at 5'10”, attached with her speed, helps her tremendously with getting by defenders. She gets downhill and has a great on-the-run shot. When the defense gives her time and space, she will display her high-speed step-down shot. Her ability to dodge and re-dodge gives her an edge on the offensive side. Davis is an accurate feeder and gets off quick passes. She plays good defense and can be lethal on the ride, intercepting passes. The Philadelphia native is very successful on the draw and can push the ball in transition. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["46921"],"_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-69a484db38a1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fordham is the ultimate two-way midfielder. On offense, she slices through the defense. She can do everything on offense: dodges, feeds, and works hard off-ball. Fordham is great in the two-man game. She is incredibly fast and athletic, and can get downhill quickly. Her body control when dodging is next level, and she's a crafty dodger. On defense, she is a lockdown 1v1 defender. She is gritty and relentless and will not give up until she shuts her matchup down. The Aces Elite product anticipates everything on defense. She gets out early to defend and can get out and intercept bad passes. Fordham fights so hard for loose groundballs; she will do anything to get the ball in her stick.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["46998"],"_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-69a484db38ab4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKelvey is a very athletic goalie and makes the most outstanding saves. When shooters work on changing planes or changing levels on their shots, McKelvey is one of the best goalies when it comes to reading shot location. She makes cross-body saves and explodes through all her saves, showcasing her footwork. McKelvey drops low on the ground in the blink of an eye to make a save. On the clear, she finds her outlets and will make really accurate long passes to her teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["25912"],"_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-69a484db38b3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bigelow is extremely quick and fast. She weaves through defenders when dodging and gets right to the goal. The Colorado native can dodge from anywhere on the field and blow by her 1v1 matchup. She could be an offensive midfielder at the next level because she gets downhill so quickly and likes to initiate her dodges from up top. When she is down low, she turns the corner and gets topside. Bigelow is tough and fights through contact when she wants a goal. She also has a lot of success coming in off the circle and reading the ball in the air. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["25914"],"_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-69a484db38bc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pisano might have one of the best shots out of all the attackers in the Class of 2027. She's a strong lefty attacker who is fast and gritty. She can shoot with both hands and has a rocket of a shot. Pisano has different release points on her shot and loves her lefty sidearm shot. She can get downhill on her dodges and turn the corner and get topside when dodging from low and on the wing. Pisano can dodge from literally anywhere on the field. The Aces Elite product is a goal scorer at heart and is also a good feeder. She also takes the draw and can push the ball in transition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
