Delatorre was very good at getting away from pressure with quick moves and connected excellent passes, most notably getting two assists against Cinco Ranch.

She was great at driving the ball forward and found great success with her dribbling, beating opponents and creating space to continue pushing the ball to the goal. Against Clear Lake, Magnuson was particularly dangerous when she got the ball on the left and brought it inside to her preferred right foot.

Hernandez worked hard to win the ball back and when she did it, she immediately turned defense into offense. The dynamic midfielder was very hard to dispossess and displayed a diverse offensive arsenal, using both feet well to dribble, pass and shoot.

Millard also did a good job in possession, seeing the game well and finding good passes to get the Chargers out of pressure. The most interesting asset in her game was, perhaps, her ability to hit the ball with power and precision as she was in charge of every set piece, from goal kicks to corner kicks, and scored against Katy in a long-distance free kick.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a7190eb8358"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17248251/65a3a7dcf31d060bc85260b0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65a7190eb842d"} /--> <!-- 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":"Brooklyn Worsdell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"102","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Agnes Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Albion Hurricanes FC","_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":"Worsdell played a big role for St. Agnes Academy and helped the team make it to the final of the Tiger Bracket.
