Among those in camp, youth attackers will look to showcase their skills and stake their claim as impact players within the national team pool.Here are the U18 club players to watch as the camp gets underway in Fayetteville.    eakle is a forward who plays with both fearlessness and determination. Furthermore, she attacks the six-yard box with clear intention and refuses to slow down for defensive traffic. In addition, she defines what it means to have relentless pressing ability, a key factor in creating scoring opportunities. Currently competing in the USL W, Jeakle consistently times her runs well and settles the ball in stride. This allows her to maintain momentum and continue her push toward the net, making her a constant threat in the final third.     The Gatorade Player of the Year for Massachusetts earned her title by scoring 13 goals during the high school season. Now, the Duke commit heads to another national camp with this recognition to her name. O'Donnell is eager to take space and attack 1v1 opportunities, especially down the line. Her ability to consistently create chances benefits both her team and herself. Ultimately, her speed in transition causes chaos for defenders and adds a valuable dynamic to both the camp and the U18 WNT.     Showler-Little is quick to react to loose balls in the middle and consistently finds the right angles and channels for her runs. This awareness should carry over into camp, where her movement will be an asset. In addition, her crisp passing and accuracy stand out as key strengths. She attacks space effectively and delivers through balls that highlight her vision and soccer IQ. These qualities make her a valuable piece in any attacking setup.     The Vol commit consistently looks to connect with her teammates, demonstrating natural playmaking instincts in the center midfield. With her head always on a swivel, Moore is quick to assess the field and identify passing options. When she wins the ball, her first instinct is to look up and find an open outlet. This approach helps build the attack and keeps the tempo high. Paired with forwards and attackers making runs, her vision could become a real asset for the U18 WNT. Throughout camp, Moore's chemistry and ability to link play will be important qualities to watch.     Engel comes from one of the top five clubs for producing USWYNT players and is no stranger to national camps. She is a versatile defender who can transition her defensive skills into the final third when needed. Smart and physical, Engel is often unpredictable with her next move on the ball. Over the years, she has consistently delivered solid performances in the back line. This camp presents another opportunity for Engel to demonstrate her reliability and effectiveness in high-level competition.
