Alicia McNabb | Midfielder
Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 (GA)

Competing for a Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 team which was dominant all weekend long, outscoring their opponents by a margin of 13-0, McNabb was one of several high-performers on the offensive side. The talented attacking midfielder showed outstanding chemistry with her teammates and netted a couple of the weekend’s best goals. She scored on an absolute missile from long range against Match Fit Surf, and against Arlington she crossed up two defenders before launching an upper 90 strike. (WATCH)

Jurnee Davis | Forward
Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 (GA)

Playing in a high-powered offense with plenty of firepower, opposing defenses can never put too much attention on any one of Concorde’s top playmakers. As a result, players like Davis often have plenty of room to operate, winning many 1v1 situations with relative ease and producing goals in bunches. Davis has the breakaway speed to burst an opposing back line and finish with precision, which she showed during a 5-0 rout against Arlington.

Amelia Flecky | Forward
Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 (GA)

Flecky put an exclamation point on what has been a remarkable 2024-25 regular season, as she scored her 30th goal for Concorde Fire in the opener against Internationals SC. Flecky showed her full skillset in South Carolina, helping her team dominate the possession battle with clean physical play, making some phenomenal passes including multiple assists, and producing goals of her own. (HIGHLIGHTS)

Addison Meyer | Goalkeeper
Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 (GA)

The team captain and backstop of the Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 defense, Meyer was flawless during her time between the posts as her team secured 3 consecutive clean sheets during a dominant showing in South Carolina. Meyer’s an imposing keeper with impressive range and quickness, representing a Concorde side which will be among the top U14 teams to watch in the ECNL Playoffs.

Mia Springfield | Goalkeeper
Concorde Fire Platinum 2011 (GA)

Splitting time in net with Addison Meyer, Springfield turned in a solid performance playing behind Concorde’s formidable back line. Springfield organized her defense well and set up the offense with some strong passing from out of the back, making long and short passes with precision.

Team Boca ECNL RL 2010 (FL)

Walsh came up big with a key goal for Team Boca’s 2010 ECNL Regional League squad during their 2-1 victory over LVU Rush, launching a shot from a tough angle inside the box. She stayed onside while bursting bast the defense to receive a well-placed through ball and timed her shot perfectly. (WATCH)

Kylen Clack | Midfielder
NC Courage Academy 2010 (NC)

A significant part of the NC Courage Academy 2011 offense which piled up 9 total goals at the tournament, while posting a 2-1-0 record. Clack serves as a sparkplug for the offense, scoring the team’s opening goal in 2 of their 3 games, setting the tone with her high level of intensity.
