Contested by the 2011s, there were rising Sophomores eager to show what is to come for the rest of this tournament and beyond. In addition, rising Freshmen who received the opportunity to play up.   Here are some prospects to look out for from this competitive Group C match:    Clean striking technique across long balls, crosses and shots. Able to hit long distance strikes in one motion, getting under the ball with laces to score high archers. Great side stance when taking long free kicks, to pull off shots on targets or hit in-swinger crosses. Clear control on the inside foot to dribble side to side against different coverages, mastering outside foot touches to get past stabs and open up play.     Defender with accurate passes across lines of play regardless of the origin or team setup. Able to scan beforehand, identify options and time ground passes to the pivot in one complete motion. Assists with the threats in coverage to obstruct the opposition's offensive minded midfielders off their balance. Understands the communication process with the defensive line to execute offside traps and generally control runs from starting in their own third.     As a high rising defender, this Land O' Lakes student athlete has the innate realization of when to push the line, get runners going and open up the shape to continue the passing sequence. Taking touches forward as the situation presents, with a half turn or ping pong to assist if required, to then finding the right ball into the path of a dribbler looking to make a play.     This dual sport athlete utilizes haste as an advantage throughout all facets of her game. On the dribble, on the turn, on the ball with passes or shots of a specific technique - the execution is there, while at a speed which exceeds the expectations at this age. Experienced with playing up - the ability to play a specific role in the middle third and follow up on required tasks - appears to come natural.     A high flying advanced outside back or wing back, the tendency to cover ground across wide areas (whether in a shape that opens wide or a narrow shape where the width has to be provided) sticks out like a sore thumb. Capable of the technical basics in an ambidextrous manner, like side touches and cross body touches, with precision in both feet. Clean crosses that threaten the corridor of uncertainty with polished wide stance form.    Some additional names to keep an eye on:   Olivia Brennan - Palm Harbor University - [program_tooltip program_id='283764' first='West' last='Florida Flames']   Olivia Zbela - Clearwater Central Catholic - [program_tooltip program_id='283764' first='West' last='Florida Flames']
