A high-motor lefty attacker who can score in bunches, Maddie Cummings wasted no time making an impact on Sunday against Baltimore. She scored Upstate’s first two goals of the game in a hurry in what was a nail-biter finish against would-be champion Baltimore. A sharpshooter with a nasty dodge repertoire and a laser-quick release, she gets topside and unleashes a sidearm that gives goalies no time to set. She is plenty comfortable going either way, baiting defenders with her ambidexterity. Her work on ground balls this weekend was noteworthy as well, vacuuming up loose balls the second they hit the turf.

No. 22 in Orange can flat-out snipe the ball. Cummings is a lefty attacker out of Niskayuna (N.Y.) who has a rocket of a shot that she locates really well. Her vision is great. On one offensive possession, she fed the ball from up top to the backside pipe. Keep an eye on Cummings this summer.

Cummings brings great energy to how she plays the game. She is a strong left-handed dodger who has zero hesitation under pressure. Cummings is able to maneuver through heavy traffic, finishing with a great shot selection in whatever opening she has free. She is a great transitional player, where her athleticism shines. She is able to push the pace of the ball in transition and hit a teammate once she draws the slide for fast break goals. She also plays on the draw circle, where she uses her speed and body positioning to win 50/50’s.
