McManus brings the speed and footwork to stay attached to dodgers while applying physical pressure. She establishes strong defensive positioning, changes direction quickly, and makes attackers work to create separation. Her performance at American Select showed how much she can contribute, particularly through her 1v1 defense and ability to move the ball upfield. McManus is a valuable option in the clear, using her pace to get into space and push possession forward. That effort carries into the ride and draw circle, where she competes to help her team regain the ball. A vocal communicator with an impressive combination of strength and quickness, McManus gives college coaches plenty to evaluate.
