The purpose of this article is certainly not to discuss playing time, but rather to highlight three players who I thought shined with the playing time they received while I was watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["391097"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='391097' first='Charlotte' last='Nowak'] left a lasting impression this weekend, playing alongside powerhouses like [player_tooltip player_id='391079' first='Finley' last='Krystkowiak'], Jojo Wilson, and [player_tooltip player_id='712163' first='Sophia' last='Johnson'].
