“Bryson is one of the most complete players we’ve seen come out of New Mexico in a long time. She brings an imposing physicality to the game. She’s very strong, mobile and can dominate the opposition defensively on the ground and in the air. She’s also incredibly clean technically and comfortable on the ball with both feet, which makes her very difficult to defend. She can beat you on the dribble if you’re too close, and she can beat you from distance if you stand off because she has good vision and strikes a ball so well. She has all the technical tools and applies them at a high level.”
