She was a constant threat to opponents with her ability to identify vulnerable spots in their backline and use her pace to explore them. Pete was very active up top and was also very dangerous in more of a central spot, making good combination plays through the middle and creating opportunities to finish with quick moves and turns inside the penalty box. She played with great energy off the ball too, putting pressure on opposing defenders.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65df96f5657c7"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/C3jvnPeMs9-/","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/C3jvnPeMs9-/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["153181"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Moehlenkamp was an important piece of Chicago Inter's offense, a team that ended the weekend undefeated with two wins and a tie and eight goals scored.

Her game with her back to the goal was excellent as Allison was very effective at getting on the end of long passes and starting combination plays through the middle.
