A lefty defender from Maryland, Jackson quickly made her presence felt Saturday. After Aces Elite won the opening draw, she pinned the ball carrier against the sideline and forced a step out, single-handedly turning a lost draw into quick offense for M&D. Jackson does a great job taking away the middle of the field and steering her matchup toward the sideline, where she uses the boundary to force turnovers. In settled play, she has an active stick in the passing lanes, picking off passes and sparking transition. Jackson was at the center of an M&D defense that dominated Saturday, going 3-0 and allowing just eight goals across three games, the fewest of any of the 63 teams on site.
