The 23-year-old has become a staple hold in the Steel line-up with her defensive pressure a clear asset of her game play. She has steadily built on her defensive repertoire using her lean over the shot to get in the head of goalers and intimidate them. The 181cm in-circle defender is a real presence in the defensive third often out hunting and searching for an intercept while also relying on her physicality to body up on her opponent. Lawson (nee Erwood) is quite mobile and uses her long arms to create timely tips.
