2030

Aubrey Taylor | Midfielder
San Diego Surf 2011 (CA)

After San Diego Surf 2011 completely overpowered their first four postseason opponents, outscoring them by a margin of 17-5, they head to the ECNL Finals with the wind at their backs. One of many talented players on the roster, Taylor recently appeared at the U.S. U-14 Girls National Talent ID Camp this spring. She’s a key member of the Surf midfield which controls the game with their elite pace of play.

Ella Vanstone | Goalkeeper
San Diego Surf 2011 (CA)

The pressure was mostly off for Vanstone and the San Diego Surf 2011 defense during the group stage and Round of 16, as the Surf offense piled up 17 goals over the course of 4 straight wins on their home fields. However, the ECNL Finals tend to produce big opportunities for goalkeepers to shine, and Vanstone will be one to watch as she goes up against some of the country’s best strikers.

Brazil Crockett | Defender / Midfielder
So Cal Blues 2011 (CA)

Crockett and her So Cal Blues 2011 teammates churned out 4 consecutive victories during the ECNL Playoffs, outscoring them by a total margin of 13-3. After sweeping the group stage, they secured a 3-0 clean sheet win over Sting Austin in the Round of 16, booking their trip to Richmond. Crockett is a game-changing two-way player who can go from making a huge defensive stop against an opponent’s top offensive weapon, to promptly going on the attack herself.

2029

Nina Clement | Defender
FC Stars Blue 2010 (MA)

One of the nation’s premier defensive players from the Class of 2029, Clement is a member of the U.S. U-15 Girls National Team. She and her teammates on the back line were phenomenal during the ECNL Playoffs in San Diego, limiting four tough opponents to 3 total goals, and securing a clean sheet against VDA in the Round of 16.

Sarah Webb | Goalkeeper
Solar SC 2011 (TX)

Webb and the Solar SC 2011 defensive unit completely dominated the competition at the ECNL Playoffs, conceding only 2 total goals over 4 games. She and the Solar back line are well-organized, rarely putting themselves in bad situations. When she does need to come up with a big save, she’s up for the task. She’s also a great distributor out of the back, with a well-rounded skillset that earned her a call-up for the U.S. U-14 Girls National Talent ID Camp.

Kate Cintron | Forward / Midfielder
So Cal Blues 2011 (CA)

An attacking player with skills well beyond her years, Cintron is one of the hardest-working players in the country. She has exceptional ball control and navigates incredibly well in tight spaces, making the most out of even the smallest cracks in the defense. She’s also deadly accurate when shooting, often placing her shots perfectly inside the post. (HIGHLIGHTS)

Bonnie Earl | Forward
So Cal Blues 2011 (CA)

Earl is another important member of the star-studded So Cal Blues 2011 squad which will be a strong contender for the ECNL National Championship. She was one of only 60 players called up to the U.S. U-14 Girls National Talent ID Camp this spring, and she continued to show why she’s on the USYNT radar after some more outstanding performances in the ECNL Playoffs, where So Cal Blues racked up 13 goals in 4 games.

2028

———————

Gigi Zuniga | Defender / Forward
MVLA SC 2010 (CA)

Another standout with U.S. Girls National Team experience for MVLA SC 2010, Zuniga is a modern two-way athlete who can do it all, playing multiple positions at a high level. She thrives in the transition game, often forcing turnovers and turning them to quick scoring chances, with her top-end speed and playmaking instincts. Zuniga is a central piece of an MLVA side which turned in an outsanding all-around performance in San Diego, outscoring their 4 opponents by a combined margin of 10-3.

2027

Meila Brewer | Midfielder
KC Athletics 2009 (KS)

A highly-rated professional prospect, Brewer represents the U.S. Girls National Team roster pool and she joined NWSL club KC Current’s preseason camp as a non-roster invitee. Capable of playing multiple positions, she’s one of the most dominant defensive players in the country, thanks to her world class strength and speed. Her physical skills are matched by her competitiveness, intensity, leadership and high soccer IQ.
