The left back is on a mission. Jorgensen and Stratton are the missing pieces.

The left back now

Correlation to Football.

It is also why coaches want raw physical talent

Archaea

Summers....great physical talent, don't know about her first touch.

Disagree. Would take elite touch over speed all day.

My wife has a great tactical eye

I think Rustand will do OK at mid

TLCougar

Yet she will also be a defensive liability

Archaea

As long as she isn't required to chase down the break-aways

TLCougar

That's a great observation.

I don't think Rustand has the traits to ever be a strong defender.

Also just a HS senior coming off an ACL. People forget about the new trend

cougfanz

Few teams with 5 losses. Only years with more 2017 and 2004 had losing records.
