Once the 5-foot-6 sophomore starts putting her magnificent skills on display out on the field, all the attention makes sense. Persson is hard to ignore; she appears to be playing at another level. And with reason.

The Falcons’ high-scoring striker is also a member of the US Under-15 Girls’ National Team, as well as a club team, the FC Stars of Massachusetts, based in Lancaster. But this fall, her focus is on her high school team, which finished the regular season undefeated at 15-0-3 and earned the top seed in the Division 2 North sectional, thanks to Persson’s prolific scoring touch.

Danvers (18-0-3) has outscored foes this season, 109-12, while recording 16 shutouts, including a 6-0 over Bishop Fenwick in a North semifinal on Thursday night. The Falcons are scheduled to play Wayland in the North final tonight at Manning Field in Lynn at 5.

“Obviously she’s a polished player,’’ Danvers coach Jim Hinchion said after watching Persson net three goals to propel the Falcons to a 6-0 North quarterfinal win over Swampscott last week.

“She plays for a top-level club,’’ Hinchion said. “She’s part of the national pool. She knows what she’s doing.

“She came as a freshman and knew how to play the game. And just in this year and a half, you can see her looking for Brittany Russo, looking for other forwards. Her assists have gone way up, and she’s just added a whole other dimension to her game.’’

She has continued to hone her skills, through her training with the FC Stars and the national team pool, and put them into play at the high school level.

“Being in the national pool, playing for Stars Mass, yeah, it makes it easier,’’ Persson said. “They help me a lot coming here, training with them.’’

Coming into the season, Hinchion was hopeful that Persson and Russo, his two young strikers, would help propel Danvers to the next level.

Last fall, as a freshman and a sophomore, respectively, they were focused on their own roles, kind of doing their own thing, according to the coach.

This season they have clicked together, and both have reaped the benefits. Persson has 40 goals and 14 assists and Russo has 37 goals and 16 assists.

“We definitely had to get used to each other last year,’’ Russo said. “This year we both really clicked, and it’s been so much better to play with her. We know where the other is always going to be. We learned to play with each other’s style of game.’’

And as their on-the-field relationship continues to blossom, their games have each taken off. Even as a sophomore, Persson has already started to receive interest from a number of Division 1 programs, including a few in the highly regarded Atlantic Coast Conference.

“She’s a strong player; her body is really built strong, and she’s tough to knock off the ball,’’ said the coach. “She’s very quiet. And with any kind of running we do, any kind of fitness, she’s at the front of the pack. Not just the front of the pack; she’s way ahead of the pack.’’

Playing for a college program at the Division 1 level is a near certainty, but for now, Persson keeps her focus on the present and on continuing to improve, developing her game, and learning from Hinchion and her coaches at all levels.

“They teach me about footwork, possession, technique, all that stuff,’’ she said. “I can still definitely improve my technique, working off the ball and playing with other people.’’

Persson has the pedigree of a top-flight player. Her father, Michael, a native of Sweden, and her mother, Meghan, both starred on the pitch at nearby Salem State College. Her father is in the school’s Hall of Fame.

And she trains with the Massachusetts Stars with another area player, Peabody High freshman Hayley Dowd.

Soccer, essentially, surrounds just about every aspect of her life.

The constant immersion in the game, coupled with her potential to get better, is something that gives her an incredible upside, Hinchion said.

“Everybody’s going to be coming after Corey,’’ he said of the demand Persson will generate among college recruiters.

“There’s no ceiling right now on her talent.’’
