into Gardner's more athletic and speedy frame.

I think Gardner's ball winning gets a spot for her in the 28. I would hope she could raise her game up a bunch with shooting and passing to become more of an offensive threat in the final third. She actually looked overall pretty good against Santa Clara, but for the type of team we want 1 goal 3 assists on the season is not good enough for a starting midfielder.

Dixon's long range goal was awesome and I think she has technical ability but will likely always struggle with speed and athleticism for a top 25 level.
