Graham Straface is a player who leads with poise and plays with heart. Graham is the type of player you can put anywhere on a field and she will adapt and thrive. Her ability to listen and take in what her coach says is outstanding. Graham is one of the most coachable kids I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is consistently working to grow as a player and a person every single day on and off the field. She is a player who uses her brain and thinks before acting which sets her apart from the rest. Her knowledge of the game is astonishing, and she always makes smart and purposeful moves. Graham maintains a certain kind of finesse that shines through with her stickwork on both her right and left hand. The game of lacrosse is all about timing and Graham understands that. Whether its cutting, creating space or creating a play she always takes initiative and leads by action. Graham is a player with the ability to change the momentum of the game and always wears her heart on her sleeve. Graham's speed and tenacity on the field is unmatchable and can be seen through her defensive abilities when riding the other team. Graham would be a valuable asset to any team she would play for.
