Comfortable finishing with either hand, she works effectively from “X,” using hesitation moves, crease rolls, and well-timed redodges to create openings. She sells her drive to goal, draws extra defensive attention and finds the teammate left open. Her ability to feed under pressure makes her especially dangerous, but defenders also have to respect her willingness to take a matchup herself or rip a shot from distance. MacColl brings communication, composure, and an unselfish approach that helps the entire offense play together. College coaches should keep an eye on this versatile offensive threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["88158"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac672b66fd5b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charney has consistently stood out at competitive showcases and tournaments, and her ability to make plays in multiple areas explains why. She attacks with quick split dodges, weaving through defenders while protecting her stick and maintaining a strong path toward the cage. She can finish off a catch, let a shot fly from distance, or recognize when an open teammate has the better opportunity. Her poise with possession allows her to make smart decisions, including when helping move the ball through the clear. Charney pairs her offensive tools with the hustle to stay involved throughout a possession. She is an all-around competitor whose energy, vision, and determination to get to goal deserve college coaches' attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["74411"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac672b66fd7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lane continues to collect accolades with a game built on speed, awareness, and versatility. She creates separation with her quickness, recognizes space before it opens, and makes purposeful cuts that put her in position to finish. Her scoring toolkit includes a quick release and a dangerous sidearm shot, giving her multiple ways to beat a goalie. She protects her stick well and uses her speed effectively when attacking a defender in a 1v1 matchup. That impact carries over to the defensive end, where she competes in individual matchups and provides strong slides. Add in her contributions around the draw circle, and Lane is a well-rounded prospect who can influence a game in several ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["88156"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac672b66fda1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hantman brings size, strength, and a competitive edge to the defensive end. She uses sound positioning and controlled physical pressure to make attackers work for their opportunities. Her aggression has purpose, and she understands when to step in, when to stay patient, and how to time a slide. She creates turnovers, battles for ground balls, and follows those defensive efforts with confident play in transition. With strong stick skills and the ability to handle possession under pressure, Hantman is a defender teammates can trust to help get the ball upfield. Her combination of physical defense, awareness, and reliable ball handling makes her a valuable presence beyond the defensive zone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["88157"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ac672b66fdbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Finnerty is a physical defender whose awareness and communication help keep her unit organized. She competes hard in 1v1 situations, pressures attackers, and understands how to work with her teammates through switches and slides. Her active stick and positioning in passing lanes allow her to intercept passes and disrupt possessions before the offense can settle into a rhythm. She brings a strong understanding of the defensive end and stays engaged in both her own matchup and the action around her. A driven athlete and supportive teammate, Finnerty pairs her defensive ability with leadership and a strong work ethic. College coaches looking for a dependable, communicative defender should have her on their radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
