In the first half, when Challenge struggled with a new formation, she was one of the few players to produce at a good level, connecting good passes in midfield and trying to organize their offense. Kees started the match playing in a more advanced role in midfield but later dropped back to play in front of the center backs. She brought a lot of stability with her reliable passing and performed multiple roles for the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/PKees11/status/1794444916099072483","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/PKees11/status/1794444916099072483 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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":"Adeleine DeArmond","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"103","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clark","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Classics Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6652b6d4870ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The pacey DeArmond was probably the Classics Elite player who better knew how to take advantage of Challenge's first-half struggles as she scored two of the team's three goals in the match. The winger stayed very wide to stretch the opposing backline and repeatedly hurt them with her well-timed diagonal runs, scoring the first goal in a play like that. She displayed great pace and used it to beat opponents in attacking plays and was very aggressive when on the ball, going at defenders without a second thought. DeArmond started the match on the left and had great success there, but moved to the right later and kept the high level of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":175786,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_4919.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-175786" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Classics Elite RL G08 vs. Challenge SC RL G08</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Albion Hurricanes FC ECNL G07 1 - 4 Sting Dallas Black ECNL G08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["27102"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6652b6d487150"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Originally a midfielder, Flanagan was as difference-maker playing left back for Sting Dallas Black and led the team's comeback win with two goals.

Flanagan played with tremendous intensity and dominated the left flank on both sides of the ball.

She did a good job defensively, shielding the team's backline with efficiency, but was even more important with the ball, knowing exactly what to do in each situation. Lazaro remained patient to control her team's passing when Albion were defensively organized, but didn't hesitate in making runs through the middle when she saw the space to do it. The midfielder also fires some dangerous shots from outside the penalty box.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":175796,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_4948.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-175796" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Albion Hurricanes FC ECNL G07 vs. Sting Dallas Black ECNL G08</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Solar RL NTX G07 White 0 - 2 Lonestar SC 07 GA Black</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Lorena Jaimes","_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":"5'0u0022","_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":"Cedar Ridge","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Lonestar SC","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6652b6d48722e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaimes was huge for Lonestar in midfield, winning most of the duels she was involved with and stopping most of Solar's defensive attempts. She played with great intensity and was very intelligent and quick to make interceptions, also tracking back and remaining engaged even when she was beaten. Jaimes also did a solid job with her passing, dropping to get it from the center backs when they were under pressure and connecting long passes and switches at a good rate. She supported the offense with some good runs off the ball through the middle and at times caught defenders off guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":175802,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_4991.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-175802" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Solar RL NTX G07 White vs. Lonestar SC 07 GA Black</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":"Justine Garnica","_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":"5'3u0022","_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":"Lake Ridge","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Solar SC","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6652b6d4872b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garnica was Solar's most creative player and the biggest threat to Lonestar's backline throughout the match.

She had good success with combination plays and did a good job of occupying the right side of the attack to create an overload there.

She did a very good job of getting on the end of long passes, using her body to control the space and get first to the ball. Fickle also displayed some interesting playmaking abilities as, on some occasions, she would control the long pass, pass the ball to a teammate and drop back to get it back and attempt a long pass or a through ball.

Gillem also displayed a great understanding of when to push forward or to support the offense from a deeper position and every time she did go forward, she used her good pace to get to the end line in no time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":175826,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_5087.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-175826" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">DKSC RL G08 vs. Albion Hurricanes FC RL G08 </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":"Addyson Cosolo","_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":"5'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"101","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Katy","_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6652b6d4875ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing as a wingback, Cosolo took full advantage of the coverage provided by Albion's three-man backline to bomb forward and was rewarded by scoring the team's goal. Playing mostly on the right, she was a constant presence in the attacking half, consistently offering a passing option to her teammates and making good decisions with her passing and runs. Cosolo spent some time on the left too, where she didn't play as wide, often bringing the ball inside to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
