Paloma Daubert | 2024 | LWB/CB/HOLDING MID | San Juan SC ECNL | GPA 4.0 | Neuro Science | 1st team All Conference ECNL – Northwest

Paloma is a very exciting prospect in the 2024 class, an elite player who can play as a left wingback, centre back or holding midfielder. Paloma is a fast player with variety in her defending, combative when needed while extremely focused/smart when placed in defensive situations. Paloma’s physical makeup and strength on/off the ball allow her to exploit areas further up the field when not defending. Paloma is very comfortable in 1v1 situations, both defending and attacking which makes her extremely effective. Paloma is a very difficult player to play against, she is tough to beat defensively but equally tough to stop at the other end of the field with her pace and decision making. Paloma has great range in her passing and her services into the box. Overall Paloma is an extremely competitive player, confident playing with both feet, good speed with and without the ball, strong 1v1 defending, aggressive and loves to win!
