I watched her take the ball coast to coast, where she effortlessly weaved through defenders like they were cones. Her ability to change pace and direction and stay under control is impressive and gives her team a dynamic weapon in transition. Thaylee's confidence with the ball stood out, and she's clearly becoming more assertive in using her speed to create opportunities. As she continues to sharpen her decision-making and finishing ability, she's a player you'll want to keep your eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
