April Players of the Month!

Congratulations to our OrthoCarolina Players of the Month for April!

Quinn McGuire
05/04 National ECNL
Quinn captains the team that sits at the top of the ECNL Mid-Atlantic Conference. He leads both on and off the field, playing in different positions all along the back line.

Kinleigh Thornton
10 National ECNL
She’s an outside back for this (currently) 1st place team in the Girls ECNL Mid-Atlantic Conference. Though she’s an outside back, Kinleigh was brave in filling in as a Goalkeeper in one of their games at the PDA Spring Classic in Somerset, NJ. She made some wonderful saves against a very strong Tophat GA Gold team to keep the score level at 1-1. In addition to her goalkeeping heroics that game, she’s helped her team’s solid defense to be one of the top defenses in the league and has contributed some assists and a couple of nice goals from distance from her outside back position.

Mikayla Barsanti
09 York King
Mikayla has shown outstanding play and leadership qualities. At training Mikayla leads not only by example with her great work rate but also is a vocal leader that is very positive and mature above her years. Mikayla is a key component for our midfield as she is strong on the ball and tenacious on defense. Mikayla’s strong play and willingness to be a leader has helped our team have a successful spring season.

Benicio De Almeida
09 North/Hville King
Benicio always leads the team from the front with his intensity and physicality off the ball. He possesses the quality and finesse to create something special with the ball at his feet. Benicio is one of those players that can create something out of nothing and can score goals of all kinds. He is a big game player that has helped his team secure some big wins this month and all season.
