Unfortunately, based on some twitter posts, it appears Maddie is out for the season with a knee injury.

It’s amazing how often young female basketball and soccer players in particular tear their ACLs. A family friend in 8th grade recently made a cut playing basketball and injured her ACL, meniscus and something else. Seems like it happens all the time. Best wishes for a full recovery for Demski.

It does seem to happen more often with young women athletes than with young men. Some local soccer coaches did not want their athletes to play on artificial fields because of the frequency of that injury.

I always say as a soccer official: "Depends Upon the Grass"...so many high school and lower fields are beyond hideous...I'd take my chances on the turf 9 times out of 10

That's quite a brace on her left leg.

Pretty standard post surgery ACL brace I think

Pretty standard post surgery ACL brace I think Looks to me to be a ceremonial start for her senior game. She is just getting introduced and starting the game then taken right out.
