Aalona spent most of the first half as a right wingback and displayed great energy to go up and down the field and great ability to beat opponents off the dribble and make plays. In the second half, she was pushed closer to the goal, playing up top, and responded with a pair of left-footed goals, the first in an inch-perfect long-distance shot and the second by completing a quick transition play with power. She displayed great ability to pass, dribble and finish with either foot and played with great energy, covering a lot of ground.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f160701f1"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":157076,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/12/IMG_7320.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-157076" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fulshear vs. Seven Lakes</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Olivia Orellana","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"102","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seven Lakes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Albion Hurricanes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The physical Orellana helped Seven Lakes win the midfield battle and take control of the game with her intelligent play. She used her big frame extremely well to win the ball back and also to shield it from opponents and create space in possession. The junior was very composed and consistent during the entire match and was very clean in possession, breaking lines extremely well under pressure and finding long passes when in transition. Orellana was also a difference-maker in the final third, scoring the team's opening goal with a header and finding the back of the net again in the second half with a beautiful shot from distance.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f1607029f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/grtorres/status/1734387696938713220?s=20","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/grtorres/status/1734387696938713220?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["27328"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Seven Lakes' main playmaker, Towsen did a very good job in orchestrating the team's offense against Fulshear. She had a lot of freedom to move around the field and was excellent at finding pockets of space to get on the ball. The senior would at times drop deeper to attempt long passes and, on other occasions, move to wider positions to get on the ball and beat opponents off the dribble. Her vision was excellent and she created several dangerous situations by switching the point of attack with long, accurate passes. Towsen was also very precise with her set pieces and assisted Orellana in her first goal off of a corner kick.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f16070300"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":157087,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/12/IMG_7356.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-157087" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fulshear vs. Seven Lakes</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Valarie Trihn","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"101","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Seven Lakes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"SG1","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Spartans strongly dominated possession during the entire match, which meant Trihn and the team's backline weren't frequently under pressure, but she responded well when that happened. Most of Fulshear's attempts came in transition, ignited by long passes, and the senior displayed excellent positioning and quickness to get to the right spot and intercept them. She communicated very well with her teammates and helped keep the backline organized. Trihn also did a fine job with the ball, playing simple, but effective passes out of the back.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f16070384"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":157072,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/12/IMG_7309.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-157072" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fulshear vs. Seven Lakes</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Layla Medrano","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"101","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fulshear","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Albion Hurricanes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A freshman, Medrano showed she will be able to contribute with Fulshear right away with a solid display against one of the strongest offenses she'll get to face during the entire season. Playing primarily as a left back, she held her own on most occasions, reading the game well to anticipate plays. Although not super tall or physical, Medrano played hard and managed to get several tackles. She was also very calm and confident in possession, avoiding clearances or long balls and instead trying to break Seven Lakes' pressure with quick and intelligent passes.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f16070451"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":157078,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/12/IMG_7324.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-157078" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fulshear vs. Seven Lakes</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='229549' first='Addison' last='Donahoe']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"102","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fulshear","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"HTX","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another new face with the Chargers this season, Donahoe brought a lot of energy to the team's midfield. A box-to-box midfielder, she played with great intensity and had enough in her tank to sprint in the final minutes. The freshman worked hard defensively, covering a lot of ground, but had a hard time against an opponent that had several talented players on offense. Donahoe also displayed great quality on the ball and very quick thinking, typically needing only two touches to move the ball forward. She also had success on some runs she made down the right side, in which she managed to take the ball to the end line.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577f160704f5"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":157095,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2023/12/IMG_7384.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-157095" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fulshear vs. Seven Lakes</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
