She showed patience and urgency in the right moments throughout the game. She was often near her mark in the midfield when they were out of possession and quick to join the attack once FC Alliance had won the ball back. Horner also played a major part in the goal scored by Anna Ogle in the second half by creating the opportunity and getting the assist. Another impressive strength Horner showed was her ability to play a true box to box midfielder through the match.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["153443"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Kennedy Lucas from FC Alliance G09 played as a true holding mid. She used her height to her advantage often in the air and was patient with the ball. Lucas wasn't afraid to try to break lines to advance with the speed they had from the attackers. She did had a few missed passes and touches but did do a good job holding down the midfield. Lucas was never caught drifting out of position and tried to be in the open gaps as an outlet for the back line. She also had good awareness to hold for her fullbacks when they decided to join in the attack to help the defenders. Overall, Lucas played a good game as a true holding midfielder.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6547f71cecce7"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
