Bella Cappelli Bella Cappelli 5'5" | Midfield West Chester Rustin | 2029 PA does it all. Need a goal in crunch time — find Cappelli. Need a defensive stop — put Cappelli on the opposing team’s number one option. She has a knack for big moments, and like her teammate Viv Ardell Viv Ardell 5'3" | Goalie | Right Hand West Chester Rustin | 2029 PA , also featured on this list, she seems to show up when the lights are brightest.

You cannot give Cappelli an inch of space. She can fire from distance and from multiple angles to get her shot on cage. Her dodges are dynamic, and she has the quick first step out of them to beat her defender and get north-south for a high-percentage look. She can dodge from anywhere — up top, behind the cage at the X, in transition. It does not matter.

On the defensive end, few are as physical as Cappelli. She is a tenacious defender. One of her most refined attributes is her defense on free-position attempts. Cappelli is relentless on eight-meter and twelve-meter attempts, willing to chase defenders all the way to the cage to alter shots. She plays with a level of fearlessness that is rarely seen, especially from a freshman going up against bigger, stronger players.

Cappelli netted three of West Chester Rustin’s eight goals on Tuesday, including the go-ahead goal — a beautifully executed wraparound with under a minute left in regulation. On a young team with plenty of runway ahead, she and goalkeeper Viv Ardell Viv Ardell 5'3" | Goalie | Right Hand West Chester Rustin | 2029 PA look every bit like future Division I college lacrosse players.
