Dauphinee has provided a steady presence as a distributor within her team’s offensive system this season. She moves the ball efficiently and demonstrates patience in allowing offensive sequences to develop. Her ability to anticipate off-ball movement enables her to deliver timely feeds into scoring areas. Dauphinee contributes both in settled offensive sets and in transition play, helping create numerical advantages. She also plays a role in sustaining offensive pressure through consistent ball movement. Her vision allows teammates to capitalize on cutting opportunities throughout possessions. As the season progresses, her playmaking ability will remain a key component of offensive success.

Dauphinee had a breakout season last year that has firmly placed her at the top of Connecticut’s 2027 scoring leaderboard with 83 goals. Her ability to consistently find the back of the net shows a natural scorer’s instinct that cannot be taught. Dauphinee excels at reading slides and finding soft spots in defensive rotations, allowing her to capitalize on scoring opportunities before defenses can recover. She is equally dangerous cutting off-ball as she is initiating from behind the cage, which makes her difficult to game plan against. What stands out the most is her efficiency: she is not a volume shooter but a high percentage finisher. Dauphinee also shows impressive composure inside the 8-meter, finishing through contact and traffic. Her off-ball movement and timing suggest a high lacrosse IQ well beyond her years.
