Danielle Colaprico

You know...

I don't want to say legacy luck, but one of the goal scorers for Houston, Danielle Colaprico, that was her first goal in, like, I don't know, some years, I think somebody said.

So that's, you know, you don't...

Good for her, but, like, you're not expecting that necessarily.

We're looking at this team.

Houston Dash just came off a win where it was Colaprico and Messiah Bright that scored the goals, right? So it's been interesting because that team has such a young, great young core, Melina.

This is a team I'm really excited to watch.

Not maybe not in 2027 unless they add a bunch more veterans alongside their young core.

nobody nobody you just listed is still with the team

Colaprico had one uh Emily Van Eggman had one I'm just I'm checking just to make sure no one who played in that game is still on the team

well basically no one is on the team still miss ed mcnabb

yeah

I mean, I think a good word for it is chaotic because you really don't know where the... players who are normally in a left wing or a right wing position are going to end up on any given play

right absolutely and you know we talk about the game a lot of times in the thirds of the field the build-out phase the middle of the field and the final third and teams generally have a mentality a structure a process that they expect from each line and in those different thirds and so you kind of break the game down that way and with this team what's interesting is there's a high focus on their wide players i would say in terms of how they play Yet when we talked to Laura Harvey, and I think we can attest to this watching their teams, you know, their sixes, those central midfielders, Colaprico and Graham, who we've seen throughout the year this year, they're kind of the key.

And so you watch these players trying to get on the ball very fast, very fluid, very dynamic.

Out wide, Chapman, Patterson.

As you pointed out a few minutes ago, they only have two field players over the age of 25.

Very, very young team.

But Danielle Colaprico there, one of their sixes there in that holding midfield, you know her as well as somebody who came into the same year with her.

Absolutely.
