Both Nguyen and Stafford earned the recognition. Playing the 6 on a team like Stanford means a crazy level of skill, and Stafford turned herself from a scorer-only to a tireless outside possession and assist machine. Vandy had TWO Hermann trophy semi-finalists, so finding a way to be an impact player was hard.

Nothing but huge respect for both

Amazing player! It was so neat to see her and other DMV players play in the Final Four. Truly inspiring for DD!

Honestly I never saw her doing anything outstanding or amazing. She moved to VDA to be able to win something, didn't help previous teams to achieve anything. The TDS best 11 dont include the FSU goalkeeper freshman who did amazing saves.

FSU keeper won the starting position late in the year. I think TDS awards are based on the full season. FSU keeper was amazing in the final and received the final four mvp for her efforts.

That goalie was impressive. Most people don’t understand a 6 so perhaps it doesn’t look amazing due to understanding for the position. Not a dig but a general observation.
