Eva has asserted herself into the PSG starting lineup and excelled. She must have already been on the radar and her performance has convinced the decision makers to bring her in.

Yes, her height is an additional quality that works in her favor but she has been very impressive in her ability to initiate offensive situations from the back line.

If she shines in these games is a spot on the Olympic team a possibility? First things first.

We saw more and more of that during her senior season; as Eva would push the ball upfield from her center defensive slot (perhaps making up for the absence of her current PSG teammate, Korbin Albert?).

dependable backstop to Eva and was a four year starter. The only thing that I could find about her now is that she joined Electric City in the L1ON (League 1 Ontario) in Canada in June last year and played all 90 minutes of the eleven games that she was on the roster.

In February of this year she was a non-rostered invitee to be a training participant at Gotham FC, sort of a soccer tackling dummy I guess.


Thx for the Search. Looks Like She's Going Here & There...

...in various leagues to move sideways, up, over and hopefully up again, much like things are a bit in hoops for those that don't make it in the WNBA.

Good luck to her....
