EDP Cup Fall Showcase Girls Best XI 19U

Morgan shook off the disappointment of a Friday afternoon high school semi-final defeat to lead a selection of her Rush teammates, most of whom were playing out of position to record back-to-back clean sheets at the showcase. Morgan played the entirety of both games at center back with ever-revolving partners and still managed to organize the defensive platform to restrict the opposition to limited opportunities.

NEW JERSEY RUSH 02 GREY NL - Nicole Johan-Wisinerski #5

Nikki returned to action after not being able to play since August and controlled the game from the central midfield, despite clearly lacking stamina, Nikki adapted her game, conserved her energy and played two full games in back-to-back days given how light on numbers the team was.

With only a handful of full time 02/03 NL EDP players this weekend and covered in huge bruises from high school soccer, Mojo played every minute of both games as a central midfielder and provided much needed balance to the team on the field. Her presence on and off the field encouraged the team to work hard and compete against top teams regardless of who was on the field with them, she's a true leader.
