Abigail Brunell '21 Recruiting Profile

My coach describes me as a “stalwart in goal”.  

I am very dedicated and all of my teammates know I have that her back, on and off the field.  If they just want to kick a ball, I’m there.  If they want to practice PKs, I’m there.  If they just need a good friend, I’m there!  

Since 2017, I have been selected for ODP, ECNL, and the DA. 

I would describe myself as a possession keeper. I am very comfortable with the ball at my feet and in my ability to build-up the play out of the back. 

I also have great soccer IQ so I’m very good at reading the play and directing my defense, and I’m quick to come off my line, which allows my team to hold a high defensive line. 

My 2020 ODP GK evaluation describes me as:

*  a good shot stopper

*  intelligent, on point distribution

*  courageous and patient in 1v1 situations

*  excellent in supporting defense

* a very good communicator

In 2021, I anchored the back line of PSA’s WPSL team to a 2nd place conference title. Unfortunately, the club could not financially sustain the team for the 2022 season. 

For the Summer of 2022, I am anchoring the backline for the Medford Strikers U23 Womens Team. 

My goal is to continue my  studies at a diverse school with a competitive soccer program.
