She has a great stick, and is a great athlete. She dominated the BIC Combine. Bragg has an ability to win matchups 1v1 but she showed an IQ to score off picks and "nations" looks as well.

Ghosh stood out especially on her 1v1 dodging. She has a quick burst and consistently won her matchups. She is strong with the ball and turns the corner well. As she develops on her off ball spacing, she will be a very balanced offensive threat.

42 ava fossati | marlborough | li yellow jackets 

Fossati demonstrated one of the most lethal shots at camp. Early in session 1 she snapped off a left handed alley shot low and away from about 8 meters that left everyone wondering how that ball found the corner. She made great decisions and let the game come, making a strong 2 way impact across BIC. 

42 Paige Tepedino | Rye HS | predators 

Tepedino was a strong midfield presence amidst the 2 days. She demonstrated an ability to finish plays all over the field. Great contributions on draw, offense, defense, and in between the 30s. Her hustle and grit stood out. As her dodging and ball handling progresses, she has tons of athletic upside to be a dynamic 2 way midfielder. 

42 anna Von Kennel | Darien | CT Grizzlies

The more you watch Von Kennel, the more she stands out. She is a true 2 way mid. Her speed catches your eye, but her decision making and poise with the ball in her stick keeps you engaged. She's scrappy and competes after every loose ball. Found a way to be involved, whether off the ground, on defense or in the ride, or off a dodge or cut. Von Kennel has a bright future. 

44 Sofia Gagliardi | Episcopal academy | philly blast

Gagliardi is tough 2 way midfielder out of Philly. She made major hustle plays through the camp, competed hard both ways, and is a strong in tight finisher. She came up with great handles on cuts and put the ball in the back of the net. One of those players that continues to produce.

Defense

Laake put an impressive 2 days of camp. Her footwork and speed are her strong suits, but she also makes great contact and matches her attacker's feet well. She catches eyes in transition when she can push a break and make great decisions. She is going to be a big time defender to watch.

Her presence and overall ability had her in the conversation for best defender at camp.
