Luke Hansen: Played the entire field with ease, but seemed to be most comfortable dropping back to help on defense. Team 1 was best moving the ball up the field when they were either extremely methodical, or when Hansen had the ball in his possession.
Mario Rocha: Exhibited elite speed. Rocha easily closed the gap on every player that ended up behind him on defense, and closed off passing lanes with unequaled quickness. Rocha was switched to midfielder after Team 1 fell behind, and used his size to outmuscle opponents for the ball on all contested possessions. It was obvious that teammates were deferring to Rocha at the end of the contest.
