Her preferred role is as a striker, but she can do a little bit of everything up top, offering the team some interesting offensive versatility. De Moor knows how to use her body to fight for space and get on the end of long passes, but she is also a very intelligent and efficient passer, connecting well with the players around her. The forward is also very dangerous inside the penalty box with her ability to dribble in tight spaces and to finish with power and precision with either foot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/catedemoor10/status/1646694936127864833","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/catedemoor10/status/1646694936127864833 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["112553"],"_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-66db6e1f04134"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ranked as the best forward in Texas in the class of 2027 by our Rankings, Aguilar stars for Solar SC ECNL 09. She's a handful to even the best defenders in the state, especially when she gets the ball on the wings, with space to use her pace to beat them off the dribble. Aguilar is extremely technical with how she controls the ball and her ability to make last-second decisions in 1v1 duels makes of her unpredictable and difficult to stop. Although mostly used on wide spots, she often appears inside the penalty box to finish chances and converts them at a good rate, showing calm and quality in front of the goal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/CwdLXUrMv9k/","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/CwdLXUrMv9k/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["112669"],"_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-66db6e1f0419a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pete leads the offensive line for Sting Dallas Royal ECNL 09. Her high-energy game puts a lot of pressure on opposing defenders as she's always on the move looking for opportunities to score and doesn't allow them a single second to relax. Pete is excellent at reading the game and always targets open spots behind the opposing backline with her runs off the ball. She's also very dangerous with the ball at her feet, beating defenders with quick turns and explosive moves and finishing chances with tremendous efficiency. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/C49QfjrrVXv/","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/C49QfjrrVXv/ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
