Prep Soccer Texas is following the action on-site in Dallas, covering the top teams from the Lone Star State and also from other states in the U.S. territory as they face strong competition. On Tuesday, April 15, we went to both the Richland College and the Ross Stewart Soccer Complex venues, where we followed many girls matches.   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://prepsoccer.com/2025/04/dallas-cup-day-3-girls-photos/">Dallas Cup: Day 3 Girls Photos</a></li> </ul>   More detailed coverage with positional standouts will follow in the weeks after the event, but here are some of the players who shone on the third day of action in Dallas:    Monjaraz was a key player for her team [program_tooltip program_id='283317' first='[program_tooltip program_id='280767' first='DKSC' last='']' last=''] 07/06G ECNL RL as they defeated [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] White ECNL RL NTX G07/06 3-0. She was the team's offensive catalyst, getting involved in their chance creation in different stages of the game. Monjaraz was very efficient when getting the ball from the center backs to take it to the attacking half, but also appeared very well in the final third, using her vision to find excellent passes. She played with a lot of intensity and repeatedly explored the space on the left side of [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas']' backline to make crosses and feed her teammates inside the box.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0018_cafe93.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285307" /></figure>    De Santiago helped her team Legends FC San Bernardino G07 prevail in a tight match against Cosmos FC Academy USC TX RL G07, winning 2-1. Legends were up ahead 2-0 early in the second half, which made Cosmos push forward and the left-sided defender was pivotal for her team to take all three points home. De Santiago and fellow center back Brady Unger were under heavy pressure, but handled it well, being dominant in the air and making key tackles on the ground. The two displayed great chemistry and successfully utilized the offside trap to stop their opponents on some occasions.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0034.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285311" /></figure>    Norzagaray had an excellent performance for Cosmos FC Academy USC TX RL G07 in her team's 2-1 defeat to Legends FC San Bernardino G07. Playing as a central midfielder, she got on the ball a lot and initiated the vast majority of her team's offensive plays. Norzagaray was very good at driving the ball forward and dribbling through traffic, but also thrived when combining with her teammates. She explored the space between Legends' left back and center back very well, getting into good spots there - she scored the team's goal from that position with a low shot and created other chances.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0033.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285310" /></figure>    Thompson had a flawless performance at left back for Americas FC 06 in their 1-0 victory over BVB IA NTX 07/06 GA. She was extremely effective defensively, controlling the space very well and winning almost every duel she was involved in. Thompson was excellent with her defensive actions, timing them extremely well, and also protected the space behind her back, intercepting long passes with great efficiency. She was very calm and composed in the defensive half and did very well in keeping the ball under pressure. The outside back also appeared well in the attacking half, distributing the ball intelligently and firing some dangerous shots from outside the box.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0079.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285322" /></figure>    Tamez had a solid shift in the backline of BVB IA NTX 07/06 GA in their 1-0 loss to Americas FC 06. The center back helped her team sustain the pressure for a fair portion of the match, making key defensive actions and protecting her team's box efficiently. Tamez consistently appeared in the right places to stop plays and was highly successful with her tackles, as well as being dominant in the air. She was also calm on the ball and took good care of it, turning to simple passes and avoiding the risk of losing it.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0085.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285325" /></figure>    Wilson was excellent in midfield for the [program_tooltip program_id='283311' first='Dallas' last='Texans'] G08 ECNL as they defeated Villarreal NTX 08G 3-1. She had a complete performance, making a difference on both sides of the ball and creating the conditions for her team's victory. Wilson was very active defensively, covering a lot of ground in the center of the field, and popping up in the right spots to disrupt plays and regain possession. She also contributed at a very high level, distributing the ball very well in the final, making some good runs on the ball and scoring on a beautiful shot from outside the box.     Badillo had a strong performance up top for Villarreal NTX 08G in her team's 3-1 defeat to the [program_tooltip program_id='283311' first='Dallas' last='Texans'] G08 ECNL. Very tall and physical, she was a handful for the opposing defenders and was very difficult to stop. Badillo used her body extremely well to get on the ball and shield it, operating as a target for her team's attacking plays. She was also very skilled while working with her back to the goal, facilitating plays with first-time passes and beating defenders with her great footwork and great moves. She scored her team's goal with a powerful left-footed shot from distance and almost got another up, being stopped by the Texans' goalkeeper.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0117_5caa46.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285331" /></figure>    Chaump was extremely productive in her team's [program_tooltip program_id='283499' first='Sting' last='Dallas'] Black 08G ECNL's 7-0 victory over [program_tooltip program_id='283444' first='Renegades' last='SC'] 08G ECNL RL NTX. She contributed to the team's first three goals, scoring one of them and assisting on the other two, feeding her teammates for easy tap-ins. Chaump combined very well with fellow forward [player_tooltip player_id='112752' first='Ella' last='York'] as the two consistently looked for each other up top and switched roles. Renegades had no answers for her runs down the right as she beat her defenders time and time again to take the ball to the end line, but also brought it inside on a few occasions, finding great passes behind the backline with her left foot.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0141_98bdbd.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285336" /></figure>    With Steinhilber on the left side of their midfield, the [program_tooltip program_id='283311' first='Dallas' last='Texans'] 09G ECNL topped GLASA Dallas Legacy 09G Arroyo 9-0. 'Michi' operated on the left side of her team's midfield and consistently created chances for her team. Steinhilber displayed excellent technical skills to beat opponents off the dribble, but also great intelligence to engage in combination plays and make the right choices in the final third. She scored a beautiful goal with a shot from well outside the box and had great offensive volume. She spent some time on the backline too and got the job done defensively, while also improving the quality of the team's buildup.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0185.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285349" /></figure>    Ortiz had a major impact in the 6-0 win of her team, [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas'] 10G ECNL, over [program_tooltip program_id='283317' first='[program_tooltip program_id='280767' first='DKSC' last='']' last=''] 10G ECNL RL. Playing as an attacking midfielder, she was excellent with her vision and her ability to pass the ball at the right time. Ortiz was seeing the game ahead of everyone else and, on multiple occasions, found great solutions to plays with first-time passes. She appeared very well in the final third and had several dangerous shots on target, scoring the team's first goal with a perfectly-placed shot into the upper corner. Ortiz also displayed great energy and determination, keeping opponents under pressure.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2025/04/2J4A0240_ad8bb5.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-285374" /></figure>
