They let one in against Cedar Park and ended up losing in the penalty kick shootout, but the sophomore was still one of the best and most complete goalkeepers I got to watch over the week. She's tall, agile and always looks very calm and confident between the posts. Oelkers transmits a lot of confidence to the rest of the team and also communicates well with the backline, being one of the team's captains. She did a very good job helping Tompkins secure a 1-0 win over Summer Creek, making important saves in long-distance shots and crosses and slowing the opponents down in the final minutes of the match.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a414fe79e90"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":159105,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/01/IMG_8349.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-159105" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tompkins vs. Summer Creek</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Madelyn Shipley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"100","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Klein","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Challenge SC","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Shipley helped Klein advance all the way to the Cougar bracket final and was one of the most impressive shot-stoppers in the tournament.

She made some important shots in close-distance shots and was also very solid in the air, using her long frame to collect crosses - and was a couple of inches away from saving at least two penalties in the shootout.
