Giannetti is a true two-way midfielder whose defensive presence immediately stands out. She plays physical, keeps her stick up, communicates through switches, and has the footwork and awareness to make strong slides. Her ground ball ability, hustle on the draw circle, and effectiveness in transition make her someone who could thrive as a defensive midfielder at the college level. Once she creates a stop, she does an excellent job turning defense into offense. Giannetti protects her stick, gets her eyes upfield, and looks for teammates rather than slowing down the momentum of the clear.

What makes her especially valuable is that she is far from a defensive-only player. Giannetti understands offensive movement, helps set up her teammates, and has both power and accuracy on her shot. She can shoot through pressure and has a dangerous sidearm release when given space. Her defensive ability may be her biggest standout trait, but her complete skill set makes her an impact player all over the field.
