[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting. She was a very good player- very technical for Georgetown.

[quote] Earlier this week, we caught up with former Hoya Daphne Corboz (C'15). Today, we were lucky enough to chat with her younger sister and also former Hoya standout, Rachel Corboz (C'18). The younger Corboz also took her talents to play professionally in France, currently for Stade de Reims. During her time on the Hilltop, Corboz was a two-time MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and All-American. She was tabbed BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year twice, as well as a four-time All-BIG EAST honoree. She led GU to win the program's first back-to-back BIG EAST Championship title and the league's regular season title, all in the same season, as well as a trip to the 2016 College Cup…

…. How has it been for you so far, has it been a difficult adjustment? How would you describe the style of soccer compared to playing at Georgetown?
 
Corboz: When going from collegiate soccer to professional soccer, there is definitely an adjustment to be made. During my first year as a professional, I was fortunate enough to play on the same team as my older sister, which definitely made my adjustment to a new team, style of play, culture, etc. a lot easier. I have found that in the professional game the girls are all around more complete players and the game itself is much more technical and faster than the college game….[/quote]

The reoccurring theme is speed of play, athleticism and technical skill is much higher when compared to college.[/quote]

But how good are the worst players on these teams? Are they all premier-level NCAA D1 players like Ms. Corobz or not? OP's DD only needs to be better than the worst player on any current team... although probably by a decent marging since there might be work visa issues etc that are more trouble than they're worth for any of these clubs.[/quote]

Believe it or not the women's pro league is higher level of soccer vs college. Corobz is an average player in the pro league. She was really good on college. An average college player will not make the pro league. Just does not happen. You have to be top 10% in college.[/quote]
