Sure, there was a walk-off winner and a pitchers’ duel in the first series of the AUSL All-Star Cup, but the defense? Top tier.
The league began its All-Star Cup season at Ting Stadium, a multi-sport facility with a synthetic turf field, in Holly Springs, N.C. The true bounce of the field, combined with athletes coming off of an AUSL regular season with plenty of reps, resulted in spectacular defensive plays in the first four games of Series One.
These were some of our favorites.
Leftfield is a no-fly zone with Bella Dayton
Make this a logo: Sierra Romero’s jump-throw
Don’t let Korbe Otis catch you slipping
…Or hit it her direction
Anissa Urtez is smooth as butter
Paige Sinicki put on a clinic at the hot corner
How did Sydney McKinney get this ball out there in time?
