Allison Zaranek was one of the most complete defenders I watched throughout the weekend. Her combination of footwork, awareness, and team defense made a major impact whenever she was on the field. She moves extremely well laterally, allowing her to stay in front of attackers while also being in position to play good help defense. Allison was always aware of where her fellow defenders were and what they needed from her, consistently putting herself in position to help cause turnovers. Her defensive IQ and ability to read plays before they developed made her a defender that offenses had to account for.
