Paul Riley just gave an online overview of this year's @TheNCCourage roster. A few highlights for me:
Ally Watt has come into her own as preseason training has progressed. Scored a hat trick during an inter-squad scrimmage last week.
Hailie Mace "has been a better footballer than I ever could have imagined." Still not where she needs to be re. fitness and speed. He def. sees her playing the 10 and maybe 9, not defending.
Rookie Addisyn Merrick has been "a revelation." Progressed to the point of challenging for the starting right back spot, along with Hailey Harbison and Ryan Williams.
Denise O'Sullivan is somehow even fitter and more tenacious defending than last year.
Second-year player Lauren Milliet is the most improved player from last year, when she couldn't make the 18. Now, he can see her spelling Debinha and Dunn at the 10 when needed.
Jessica McDonald is nursing a hamstring injury.
Riley believes Abby Dahlkemper and Jaelene Daniels are fitter than ever. #end
