The midfielder is a key cog in the team's playing system with her passing ability and her intelligent movement of the ball. Don't think of Camin as a volume chance creator, but instead as a facilitator, who finds smart solutions every time she gets on the ball and who's an expert on breaking pressure with her vision. She has a good offensive presence too, finishing well from outside the penalty box and doing a solid job in set pieces.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e86d160a3"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":173279,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_4914.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-173279" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Albion Hurricanes FC G08 vs. Sting Austin G08</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26780"],"_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":"Curs will be with DKSC 08 in their matches against Minnesota Thunder, Charlotte SA and Arlington Soccer. Her presence as a defensive midfielder helps protect the team's backline with how much ground she covers. Curs is very intense with her defensive actions and does a very good job of winning duels with her high-energy game. She's very efficient in possession, managing the keep the ball and progress on the field even when under pressure, and occasionally shows up in the final third to finish from outside the penalty box.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e86d1610e"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/CursHazel08/status/1770867309189710331","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/CursHazel08/status/1770867309189710331 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["48233"],"_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":"Pazahanick and her Challenge SC 07 team are set to play Bethesda SC, WNY Flash and VDA in North Carolina. The midfielder is one of the team's pillars with her high-energy game and plays a very important role for them, especially off the ball. Pazahanick covers a lot of ground, is very effective with her tackles, never gives up on plays and is capable of keeping a high level of intensity for entire matches. She's also very skilled with the ball, connecting the vast majority of her passes and helping her team progress it to the final third.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e86d16305"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/Halo8Soccer/status/1790091482524786893","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/Halo8Soccer/status/1790091482524786893 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26667"],"_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":"Kuntz's Dallas Texans 07 team will be tested against WNY Flash, FC Stars White and Pateadores in Greensboro. She's a solid two-way player, who contributes on both sides of the ball and heavily influences the team's performance with her play. Kuntz is very engaged in her defensive duties, working hard to recover the ball and reading the game well before executing her actions. She's very efficient and creative when on the ball too, offering interesting support to the team's offense.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6643e86d1635c"} /-->
