Loriana Berman #34

The easiest way to think about our Bermi is to imagine Transformers as a silent film in which the worst actor of all-time is replaced by an appropriately filthy hero. Keep the curly hair, lose the awkward lines, sprinkle in a dash of feminine mystique. What, not a simple imaginative exercise? How about this - Loriana Berman is A) an athletic terror and B) an incredible mental rock who always has a well-timed head rub up her sleeve for taming a spastic weenie.

Bermi is a defensive handler who exists to make the lives of opposing handlers miserable. May that awesome throwing repertoire of yours rest in peace, because the disc isn't getting into your hands, chief. Not a game goes by (literally) when she does not generate a defensive block with her incredible lateral quickness, whether she's volleyball-spiking the disc back into the thrower's face, or turning you into a dancing dump monkey. The scariest part is that this kid is trying to weasel her way on O lines now too! She's decided that it's not enough to generate a third of the team's Ds, she also needs to pad her stats with some goals and assists by burning fools on the fast break.

We let her get away with these shenanigans, though, considering what an incredible teammate she is to boot. Berm trains tirelessly, which means she's never too tired to be the voice inside your head that pulls you through the end of a grueling track workout or epic point. Mazel tov!
