Yeah, she's very much more a Morgan or Hatch-type 9. We just don't play that way, and Norris is hapless to adapt and make tweaks to benefit the players we have here. He's just shoving the newbs into the same mold he uses when the Nats are here.

But, I also think it's kinda ridiculous that D'Aquila hasn't played at all or has only gotten garbage minutes all season (or preseason), CC or league games, and def not at the 9. She should've been getting more time at the 9 in the CC games or the games we were already winning 4-0. Reyes was ROUGH the first several games she had, and is now playing much better. D'Aquila should've been given more if she was expected to play such a large role this window. Just, more poor planning from the coach/FO imo.
Yeah the comp with Ashley Hatch is the most accurate, imo. I think they got better doing it this game, but they're all too used to delivering low crosses into Dunn and Smith. Even with the tough results, glad Izzy and the others are getting the necessary games, it will help the team the long run.

When Izzy and Turnbow were on the field together they were a brutal combination to defend; hence, the 11-1-0 season and national title.
Since Kelsey is busy becoming a defender at Spirit, Portland's job is finding her a proper co-conspirator/counterpoint.
She will be worth it.
Kelsey Turnbow is at San Diego, no?
Oh yeah, confusing her with the McKeown experiment at Spirit.
