"Madeleine is the ultimate team-first player with an incredibly high soccer IQ. She makes the game look effortless, whether she’s anchoring our defense or scoring goals from the midfield. Her versatility was on full display when she stepped in as keeper to stop a critical penalty kick against Portage Central.
