Nawel Bouchard

After overcoming a debilitating fear of flying that nearly destroyed her career, this French centre-back has become a force of nature, dominating the aerial game and blocking shots with a quiet ferocity. While her stand tackle is less refined than her elite defensive intelligence, her explosive speed and movement compensate for any lapses. She remains reserved and laser-focused, channeling the memory of that past hardship into dismantling opposing attacks.
