A quick and dynamic attacking player, she's a constant threat to opponents with her non-stop movement and quality on the ball. Thibodeaux is at her best when used on the wings, where she can use her pace and quick dribbling to beat opponents in space. She can also play more centrally, showing remarkable creativity to beat opponents in tight spaces and solid finishing skills.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lane and her [program_tooltip program_id='283243' first='Albion' last='Hurricanes FC'] U15 teammates will play Solar SC in the event's semifinals. Primarily a winger, but also capable of playing as a center forward, she's very smooth on the ball and thrives by beating opponents in tight spaces with creative moves. Lane also does well at getting to the end of long passes and uses her body extremely well to shield the ball and absorb pressure from opponents. She's a very good finisher, too, and is a threat when she brings the ball inside from the wings to shoot it.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Rios will be one of Sting Black U17's attacking options against Solar SC in the semifinals. She's a hybrid attacking midfielder/forward who stands out for her ability to make plays and create chances in the final third. Capable of playing anywhere in the attack, Rios does a great job of moving to find the ball and is very creative and intelligent with her passing, releasing the ball at the right time and finding teammates in great spots. She also finishes very well and is very competent at getting to the end of crosses to convert chances inside the box.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bledsoe plays for Sting Royal U17 and will be with the team when they face Real Colorado National in Round Rock. One of the most talented attacking players in the state, she overwhelms opposing defenders with her high energy and remarkable quality on the ball in the final third. Bledsoe can play different roles in the attack and is at her best when given the freedom to go find the ball and make plays. Besides being very technical, she is also incredibly quick and direct, which brings an extra challenge to opponents trying to stop her. The forward also has excellent finishing skills, being capable of converting chances from inside and outside the box.</p>
