Although I didn’t see M&D Minnesota play much on Saturday, Jaclyn Lundeen made a strong impression in the half I caught. She scored back-to-back goals, first beating her defender with a dodge from straight on to her left and getting downhill to finish. On the next, she beat her matchup going right. Lundeen is shifty and changes direction in a hurry, making her difficult to contain. She was the best player on the field during the half I saw. A high-ceiling 2029 prospect out of Minnesota, Lundeen could be the next big Division I commitment from Cretin-Derham Hall. The school has produced two high-profile commitments over the past six months in Jordin Rosga (Northwestern) and Lilly Selander (UMass). I think Lundeen can join them next September.

Lundeen wants the ball in her stick. She will win a 1v1 matchup. In her afternoon game vs. GRIT Texas, she got downhill through the defense and scored. Minnesota isn’t a place that gets heavily recruited, but it produces some studs.
