GST Philly Women — Jefferson-Wooden Sets Cool Weekend Ablaze…

 

In a weekend where cool temperatures hinted at the approach of summer’s end, the women of GST Philly turned up the heat—none more so than breakout star Jefferson-Wooden, whose fierce performance ignited the field and left spectators buzzing. As the GST Women’s Division rolled into Philadelphia, all eyes were on the home squad. But it was Jefferson-Wooden who seized the moment, turning a competitive slate of games into her personal showcase.

From the opening whistle, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a routine weekend for the Philly women. Against a tough New York side, Jefferson-Wooden set the tone early with a relentless defensive presence, intercepting passes and pressuring the backfield. But it was her offensive explosion that truly separated her from the pack. In back-to-back games, she put up double-digit scoring contributions—goals, assists, and hockey assists—displaying not only athleticism, but a deep understanding of the field and fluid team chemistry.

“She has this fire in her play,” said head coach Dana Reilly. “But it’s the intelligence that impresses you. She knows where the disc is going before it gets there.”

Jefferson-Wooden’s impact wasn’t just statistical. She brought energy and confidence that lifted the entire roster. Teammates like veteran handler Keira Munson and cutting specialist Lena Wexler seemed to feed off her vibe, making aggressive plays and diving layouts that echoed their captain’s fearless style. And when the games tightened—especially in a nail-biting win over DC Elite—Jefferson-Wooden remained calm, hitting tight windows and calling smart plays from the stack.

“She’s a leader who leads with every point,” said teammate Adina Shah. “You look around when the pressure hits, and she’s already taking on the moment.”

Philly finished the weekend undefeated, improving their seeding for the postseason tournament. More than just a stat in the win column, the weekend proved that this squad is peaking at the right time—with Jefferson-Wooden emerging as a legitimate MVP candidate.

Beyond the field, her influence could be felt on the sidelines as well. She rallied the team with pep talks between games, mentored younger players, and engaged with fans post-match. In a league that values community as much as competition, Jefferson-Wooden continues to be the heartbeat of GST Philly.

As cooler fall air begins to roll in, Philly’s momentum is just heating up—and if Jefferson-Wooden’s performance this weekend is any indication, the GST Women’s Division has a new force to reckon with.

“She’s not just playing the game,” Reilly said. “She’s redefining it.”
