The driving force behind Galaxy SC 09 GA, Ilyana Barriball leads the front line with pace, power, and high soccer IQ. A top talent in the 2009 age group, she is known for her tactical versatility, clinical finishing, and ability to influence the game in every third of the field.
During the GA Finals, Barriball displayed her attacking prowess by scoring a standout goal that started from central midfield—beating multiple lines of pressure with tight ball control, change of pace, and intelligent off-the-ball movement before calmly slotting it past the keeper. In another critical match, she added a second goal and recorded key assists, consistently finding pockets of space and breaking down defensive blocks.
Barriball excels in multiple attacking roles—as a central forward, inverted winger, or attacking midfielder (10)—and demonstrates advanced decision-making in tight spaces, excellent first-touch under pressure, and the ability to break lines with both passing and dribbling. Her signature move—lofting the ball over defenders to self-combine—reflects her creativity and technical confidence. Off the ball, her pressing instincts and anticipation disrupt build-ups and generate turnovers in advanced areas.
Named to the Girls Academy National ID roster and recognized as an All-State player, Barriball combines elite-level technique with leadership, work rate, and a mindset that elevates those around her. Her multi-dimensional impact makes her an immediate asset in any high-level system.
