Gersmehl brings size, physicality, and impressive versatility to the defensive end. She positions herself well, refuses to let attackers overpower her, and is especially effective defending around “X” and behind the cage. What makes Gersmehl particularly intriguing is how many different places she can impact a game. She also plays midfield at her high school and has shown legitimate ability on the offensive end, making her someone who could potentially take on an expanded midfield role at the next level. Whether she’s defending low, playing through the midfield, or helping create offense, Gersmehl finds a way to contribute.
