<p>Heiple is an attacking player, through and through. She plays as a wide forward, and shows her versatility by also playing the No. 10 role. She thrives in either role because of how dynamic she is, as the freshman from Conway High in Arkansas is a very fast and explosive player, and is very hard to slow down when on the ball. She has excellent technical skills as well as she is strong on the ball and can really pick a pass. Heiple is dedicated to the sport and puts her team first. She plays club for Tulsa SC's 2007 ECNL team.</p>

<p>A sophomore at Shawnee Mission East High in Kansas, Moilanen is the switched on leader you need in the midfield. She is very focused at all times, constantly reading the game, remaining hyper-aware of all possible scenarios and situations. A determined player, Moilanen plays with great passion. She plays club at Kansas City Athletics. </p>

<p>A freshman at Liberty North High, and a member of the Kansas City Athletics club, Rinehart is an incredibly talented player from the class of 2027. A dynamic player who demonstrates great skill and versatility, Rinehart can play as a No. 6, but also play as an outside back because of her technical ability and pace. She can adapt to what the team needs, always putting the team first and is resilient so it does not bother her. Rinehart also already has that competitive edge you look for from someone playing in the back third of the pitch.</p>
