MID-ATLANTIC
McKenzie Brown, McDonogh (Md.)
Brown put her speed and skills on display to help the Eagles to a 12-6 win over Georgetown Visitation (D.C.). in their season opener Saturday. The senior defender was huge on the draw circle helping to gain possession. She had five caused turnovers to pace the defense and created and won 50/50 balls. What makes her so valuable is her ability to quickly create transition offense off turnovers or saves. Brown is committed to Northwestern.
