Jordan scored their fourth goal in the 11th minute of the second half with junior midfielder [player_tooltip player_id='284641' first='Ella' last='Bizzell'] and seemed to have the match under control. The Cougars fought back again, getting their second goal in the 12th minute with senior forward Mia Cox and their third with junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='156753' first='Brooklyn' last='York'] in a free kick in the 18th minute, but couldn't get an equalizer.   With the victory, Jordan continue at the top of the standings with an undefeated campaign of three victories - they play Seven Lakes at home on Friday. Cinco Ranch are sixth with a win and two losses and will visit Paetow on Friday.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players of the Match</h2>    The senior forward had a major role in Jordan's victory, getting involved in three of the team's four goals in the match. Playing more to the right side of the attack line, Nweke was a constant threat with her ability to use her body to shield the ball and her strong runs in the final third. The forward, who also combined very well with her teammates, scored the team's first goal with an inch-perfect finish and did very well in attacking the ball in Harrison's cross to get another one. Nweke displayed a great work rate on and off the ball, being very active at pressing Cinco Ranch's defenders.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0040_ca3e9f.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348529" /></figure>    The junior was the engine of Jordan's midfield, delivering impressive intensity and consistency from the defensive midfielder spot. Bizzell was very active defensively, working hard to shield the team's backline and winning duels in the center of the field. She also got heavily involved in the game when Jordan had the ball, displaying great vision and quality to distribute the ball, standing out for her ability to make quick, direct switches that found teammates in good spots in the opposite flank. Bizzell consistently stepped into the attacking half to support the Warriors' offense and fired some dangerous shots in goal, deciding the match with one of them, in which she demonstrated impressive precision to send the ball into the lower corner while getting it past multiple players.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0023_ecd016.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348519" /></figure>    The other half of Jordan's attacking duo, the junior was a key piece in their offense and the focal point of their playmaking. Cleary played as a second forward, moving all over the final third to create chances. She made some good plays out wide and also created problems centrally, either with strong runs or with intelligent passing. She assisted Nweke in her first goal with a well-weighted through ball and showed up in the right spot to pick up a rebound and score the team's third goal. Cleary was very important for the Warriors in the final minutes of the match, when she did very well at keeping the ball in the final third and helped run the clock down.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0008_b6bb8f.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348514" /></figure>    The junior was the main standout in the Warriors' defensive system, which had some issues in the second half, but was nearly flawless in the first 40 minutes. Playing as a left-sided center back, Bailey was impeccable for most of the match, reading plays extremely well and making countless interceptions by anticipating opponents. She did well in 1v1 duels and also held her own when she had to cover the left side of the backline out wide. Bailey also demonstrated nice quality on the ball, initiating attacking plays right after winning possession with runs through the middle and distributing it efficiently.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0010_fd6876.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348516" /></figure>    The sophomore wasn't to blame for any of the four goals she conceded and kept Cinco Ranch in the game with her strong play between the posts. With Jordan strongly dominating the first half, Woicikowfski was consistently called to action, and she responded very well, making two incredible saves with her legs in short-distance shots. The goalkeeper continued to perform well in the second half, controlling the penalty box and handling crosses efficiently. Woikicikowfski also played an important leadership role with the team, communicating consistently and efficiently with her teammates.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0034_70adc5.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348526" /></figure>    The junior started the match at right back and was probably the most efficient player in Cinco Ranch's backline when it came to slowing Jordan down in the first half, winning duels and controlling her zone. York also initiated almost every buildup of her team, connecting long passes out of the back that got the Cougars out of the Warriors' press. She moved to the attack still during the first half and significantly improved the team's offensive quality, combining well with her teammates and making plays out wide. York was very good in set pieces and had three dangerous shots out of free kicks, sending the ball into the upper corner in one of them to score the team's third goal.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0026_00a91f.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348521" /></figure>    The sophomore provided the Cougars with some firepower in the first half, when they were under heavy pressure from Jordan. Playing on the left side, Suther did well in getting on the end of long balls, holding them up and combining with her teammates. She also made some good runs out wide, and in one of them scored the team's first goal, showing calm and composure to beat Jordan's goalkeeper. Suther also demonstrated great vision in her passing, finding creative solutions to get the ball to her teammates when surrounded by opposing defenders.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2026/01/2J4A0009_850c98.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-348515" /></figure>
