Eaton and her San Antonio City SC U19 team ended the weekend undefeated after beating Sting Royal RL U19 1-0 and Dynamos SC RL STXCL U19 3-0. Her presence as a defensive midfielder contributed to the team’s defensive solidity, as she was great at covering ground and shielding the backline. Eaton also made an impact on the ball, controlling the pace of the game with her intelligent distribution. The midfielder, who also filled in at right back when needed, also thrived at creating space by performing quick body moves to beat pressure and delivering some accurate long balls that helped her team get the opposing defensive system disorganized.

A central midfielder, Eaton had some ups and downs during the match, but played with great determination and did good things on the ball. She worked hard defensively and was able to stop many Albion plays with physical stops in midfield. Eaton also stood out in possession as she was heavily involved in the few moments in which her team was able to connect consecutive passes and keep the ball. The midfielder made nice moves to bat pressure in the center of the field and always made good choices with her distribution.

Playing in front of SA City SC’s backline as a defensive midfielder, Eaton was a little bit overwhelmed at the start of the match, when STLDA placed several talented players in the central area of the field. She played with a lot of intensity and still managed to make several stops, using her great reading of the game to cut passing lanes and win duels. The midfielder was also very active in possession as her teammates constantly looked for her. Eaton did a good job with her distribution and also progressed the ball with runs through the middle when she sensed an opportunity.
