She stands out with her impeccable positioning between the posts and is agile and athletic enough to react to deflections and unpredicted situations. Engelman also has a good command of the penalty box when dealing with crosses and communicates well with her defenders, helping keep things organized at the back. The goalkeeper does a solid job with the ball at her feet and is also good at putting it back in play with quick throws or long and accurate punts.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664b5fd94bfe3"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Z-VQYcvNw","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Z-VQYcvNw </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["27222"],"_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":"An SPC state champion with Episcopal, Qureshey plays for the Albion Hurricanes 07 team in the ECNL league. She's a very technical shot-stopper, who approaches each play with the right option, having a very high success rate in her actions while making very few errors. One of the keys to Qureshey's strong play between the posts is her mental toughness, which allows her to remain calm in every situation, to remain engaged during prolonged periods of pressure and to immediately shake things off after her rare errors. She's a goalkeeper who steps up and makes big-time saves and it's easy to see how much her teammates trust her.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664b5fd94c0d4"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS_p3oYTEv0","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS_p3oYTEv0 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["171803"],"_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":"Swadener is the starting goalkeeper of the Sting Dallas Black 08 team that sits at the top of the standings in the Texas Conference with just six goals conceded in 15 matches. Although their defensive solidness is certainly a team effort, the goalkeeper plays a major role in it, stepping up with big saves every time she's needed.
