Vastly recognized as one of the top goalkeepers in the nation and a frequent face in the USYNT, O’Steen will continue to play up with Solar SC 07 this season. Tall and extremely athletic, she has an incredible presence between the posts and can make some incredible saves, having the ability to keep her team in the game no matter what. O’Steen is very sound technically, which makes her not give up goals or chances to opponents very often, and also reads the game very well, using her excellent positioning to handle most of the shots and crosses that come her way.

Solar have the benefit of having a true difference-maker between the posts as, despite playing one age group up, O’Steen is one of the best in the business. A USYNT regular, she’s the complete package when it comes to being an elite goalkeeper, combining size, athleticism, technique and composure in goal. O’Steen benefits from her positioning to make difficult saves look easy, but is explosive and agile enough to get to the ball when shots are deflected or she’s caught by surprise by something. Her consistency is truly impressive and she helps her team’s backline perform better with her command from between the posts.

Ranked by Prep Soccer as the top goalkeeper in Texas and one of the top goalkeepers nationally, O’Steen will be looking to keep the scoring numbers low against Legends FC as she did throughout the playoffs in Seattle. Through four matches, O’Steen and Solar FC only conceded three times and earned a shutout on the opening day, blazing their way through to the Elite 8. It stands to reckon that she will factor heavily into Solar FC’s path through to a potential championship.

O’Steen and her team Solar SC G07 will be tested against three tough opponents in PDA Blue, United Futbol Academy and the Wilmington Hammerheads. A USYNT regular, she’s vastly considered one of the best in the country and is playing one age group this season. Tall, athletic and very quick to the ball, she has the entire physical package to shine between the posts and still adds to it with unwavering focus, great determination and an imposing presence between the posts. O’Steen is extremely reliable and gives her team a lot of confidence. She also played for several years as a field player and is very clean on the ball.

Playing one age group up with Solar SC 07, O’Steen is one of the most promising goalkeepers in the country. Very tall, athletic and explosive, she can make saves that not many other keepers would. Her positioning between the posts is typically excellent and she’s also great at reading opposing attackers and making moves. Her technique is also very good and O’Steen is not a keeper you’ll see out of position and conceding goals she could have avoided very often. She also has a strong, commanding presence on the field and is skilled on the ball after playing several years as a field player.

The talented O’Steen will be in action with her strong Solar SC ECNL G08 team during the weekend. Regarded as one of the most promising goalkeepers in the entire country, she has all the tools to perform at the highest level despite her young age. Her size gives her incredible reach in between the posts and O’Steen is also tremendously athletic and explosive. Her efficiency and her superior technical skills give her and her teammates a lot of defensive confidence. She used to be a very good field player when younger and her quality on the ball is another significant attribute in her game as she’s very confident on the ball and capable of hitting some excellent long passes from the back.

Arguably the great advantage at the youth level is having an exceptional goalkeeper, and O’Steen is definitely one of those. Building the team through the spine has been the recipe for success for a long time and there is a reason why it seems like O’Steen’s teams always seem to be in the final or national championship game. Beyond her success on the pitch, the super athletic shot-stopper for Solar is a two-sport star. She is one of the top high school basketball players in Texas – averaging over 17 points per game (according to MaxPreps) on varsity as a freshman. Her ranking is due to her contributions on the field though. It’s tough to talk about O’Steen’s game and not mention her past. Up to a couple of years ago, she used to be one of the top goal scorers in the Texas division of the ECNL as she split time between goal and forward. Recently, she has anchored down the defense as the top goalkeeper in the ECNL. Her background on the field has provided her with a ton of confidence in playing the ball with her feet and playing off her line – think of a sweeper-keeper. Past that, she is the most athletic shot-stopper (by far) in this age group. With lightning quick reflexes and a wing span that can cover the whole goal, she is a rare prospect at this position and one of the highest rated goalkeepers in recent history.
