Kensington Daigle | Midfielder
Loudoun SC 2004/2005 ECNL (VA)
One year removed from ACL surgery, Kensington Daigle was fast, physical and a consistent threat at the outside mid position for Loudoun 05/04 ECNL. Her effort against CFC resulted in a “Pulisic”-type goal, and across ECNL Tennessee’s three games, she consistently dropped crosses in to the box to her teammates.
———————
Elle Quinn | Midfielder
Davis Legacy 2004/2005 ECNL (CA)
Scored an impressive goal against national powerhouse Solar SC shortly after the opening whistle.

She continued to make plays at the showcase while playing on the wing and through the midfield.
