All-America Watch List: Girls Additions

As noted during the original release of the PrepSoccer.net All-America Watch List, we would make periodic updates. Today, we add 10 more girls players. Now, not to be confused for the All-America Game, which the rosters were released last this week, this All-America Watch List is for the postseason honors that will be awarded by PrepSoccer.com. While only 24 of the players from the full list below will make first- or second-team All-America honors, many of the listed players will make one of the eight 11-player All-Region teams. Today’s additions are: <strong>F Olivia Collins, Gallatin (Mont.), Jr.</strong> Despite having an undefeated, state title-winning team in its league, Collins won the Player of the Year honors.

Collins had 14 goals, including the winner to send the team to the final. <strong>M Cat Duffy-Shaw, Holy Angels (Minn.), Sr.</strong> Duffy-Shaw was named Minnesota Miss Soccer for Class AA.
