# 9 Olivia Bello - NJ Nationals FC 2009 Girls Elite
Olivia scored the winning goal in the 2-0 win against NYC FC and the 2-1 win over HEX FC. She was a thorn in the defenses’ sides all weekend with her movement, physicality, and link-up play.
# 10 Natalie Walter - HEX FC Dominion USYS 09G

# 17 Gianna Castelhano - PSA Monmouth 10G Orange
Gianna was a key part of PSA Monmouth 2010 success this weekend. Castelhano was involved in seven of the 11 goals scored by PSA, scoring four and assisting three. She played striker and attacking midfield and was so affective both in and out of possession. Her link up play with the front three gave opposing teams defense a difficult time trying to read the game. Her movement off the ball allowed space for the other attacking players to create attacking opportunities.
# 67 Chacity Rotondella - Jersey Shore Boca Jr FC Shaka
Chacity primarily plays as an attacking midfielder while also getting some time at striker with an engine that's just nonstop.
