Buck is a gritty, athletic midfielder who impacts every part of the field. Her shot immediately stands out. She can generate serious power from distance and rip accurate shots from the 8-meter. In transition, she has the speed to carry the ball herself but also keeps her head up and recognizes when the next pass is the better option. Defensively, her quick footwork makes her strong in 1v1 situations, and she uses her stick well to extend her reach and pressure opponents. Buck also tracks the ball extremely well on the circle and brings consistent hustle to ground balls and draw possessions. She is a complete midfielder who competes hard regardless of where she is on the field.
