Camille Abily – Good player who put a stamp on her team’s style and identity. Perhaps the best box-to-box midfielder in the WPS.
Aya Miyama – Continues her rapid improvement. Terrific at running at players and combining with Marta. Quickly improving defensively.
Sonia Bompastor – Multi-dimensional player who, because of her experience can play anywhere in midfield and could even play in the back if needed. Competes every night.
Kacey White – Perhaps a bit underrated but reads the game well, good movement, technically strong. Expect her to blossom in 2010.
Lori Chalupny – Incredibly quick and strong. Smart player who can create, score and defend. Gets her teammates involved. A winner.
BONUS: Yael Averbuch – one of the keys to Sky Blues post season success, she doesn’t get enough props but she can play.
