Sting, who have three wins, three losses and one tie so far in the season, will face crosstown rivals Dallas Texans on Sunday. Their starting goalkeeper, [player_tooltip player_id='86632' first='Savanah' last='Finley'] is capable of making big-time saves and she gets good protection from physical center backs [player_tooltip player_id='27296' first='Taylor' last='Yablonski'] and [player_tooltip player_id='26440' first='Alyson' last='Guthrie']. At outside back, [player_tooltip player_id='26828' first='Jetney' last='Cook'], [player_tooltip player_id='27231' first='Savannah' last='Wylie'] and Ava Bradford offer different skill sets. Ava Goodin bosses the midfield with her high-energy, two-way game helped by [player_tooltip player_id='26874' first='Katarina' last='Campbell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='26613' first='Catherine' last='Wagner']. Offensively, [player_tooltip player_id='41132' first='Ally' last='Pinto'] and [player_tooltip player_id='26410' first='Alexandra' last='Love'] are dangerous from wider positions while [player_tooltip player_id='26467' first='Anna' last='Niedermeier'] offers a physical presence up top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/StingECNL06/status/1717590136106451104?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/StingECNL06/status/1717590136106451104?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tulsa SC G07</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The side from Tulsa will have a big weekend, facing in-state rivals OK Energy FC on the road on Saturday. Tulsa have been in excellent form in the division, having secured seven wins, two losses and one tie and are undefeated in their last five matches entering this weekend's encounter. Tulsa have a pair of talented keepers in [player_tooltip player_id='25404' first='Jaylyn' last='Hammond'] and Anika Patton and outside backs [player_tooltip player_id='25450' first='Madelynn' last='Goss'] and Landry Turner are both very skilled on both sides of the ball. One of Tulsa's strengths is the depth of their offense as [player_tooltip player_id='25433' first='Landry' last='Fieker'], Hayden Heiple, [player_tooltip player_id='25478' first='Ragon' last='Francy'], [player_tooltip player_id='25335' first='Annabelle' last='Edwards'], Addison Castleberry, Hailey Green and [player_tooltip player_id='25502' first='Sydney' last='Hopper'] all have the potential to be difference-makers in the final third.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/TulsaSC_07_ECNL/status/1687921479877349376?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/TulsaSC_07_ECNL/status/1687921479877349376?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Classics Elite G08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The San Antonio side will host the always-tough Sting Austin team on Saturday. Classics Elite are still looking to find their best form in the season as they currently have two wins, seven losses and one tie, but had promising performances last weekend, beating Dallas Texans and going down 2-1 to a strong FC Dallas team. They typically have [player_tooltip player_id='26371' first='Addison' last='Brown'] between the posts and she's a solid goalkeeper. The backline is anchored by strong center backs [player_tooltip player_id='112767' first='Leona' last='King'], one of the team's individual standouts, and Ashtyn Huber. In midfield, [player_tooltip player_id='26565' first='Brooke' last='Benne'], Layla Mullaney and Meredith Plank are typically the team's main contributors. The attack is led by Addison Briscoe, [player_tooltip player_id='112764' first='Jocelyn' last='Flores'], [player_tooltip player_id='112765' first='Ghenima' last='Ibaroudene'] and Savanah Moya.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":99631,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/02/IMG_2345.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-99631" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pride SC 08 vs. Classics Elite 08</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
