"Raven is one of the key figures in this great class. She's a player that you can't help but notice and marvel at. She is technically gifted and a great passer of the ball, but the thing that stands out is her dominance in aerial battles due to her height, timing, and athleticism, which makes her a major goal scoring threat on set piece plays and re-starts. These assets give her (and us) a huge advantage in the middle of the field. Even though she has great experience playing for coach Hugh Bradford as a target forward, he wisely saw the need to expand her game by bringing her into the heart of the D'Feeter's line-up where she's become a very special force in the middle of the midfield as a holding player who can win balls and change the point of attack to anywhere on the field with one well-weighted and timed pass.
