Continue ReadingThe Colorado girls rankings for the class of 2023 came out earlier this month. The 2023 class in Colorado features some of the top players in the country, which is why top programs from all corners of the country have heavily scouted this group – and also why many of the top players are leaving the state for college.
Peyton Nourse Peyton Nourse M Cherry Creek Elevation (CO) | 2023 State #26 Nation CO , the No. 1 player in the state, is a Florida State commit. Nourse is a youth national team player as well as one of the best players to come out of the Colorado Rush program in the last decade. Nourse played for the Rush WPSL team last season, which showcased her quality against older, better competition. She has a dynamic burst on the ball that is elite even at the next level already. She could play as either an attacking midfielder or as a center forward. She is a high volume shooter, and likes to try her luck from out of the box.
Skylar Haase Skylar Haase 5'11" | F Rocky Mountain (CO) | 2023 State #55 Nation CO is one of those players who found the perfect fit for her style of play at the college level. Haase is a winger with pace to get behind the defense, but also enough versatility in her game that should could project as an outside midfielder or an attacking wingback. Haase is right footed and an above average finisher. She is better deployed as the winger to finish the cross rather than the crosser. Texas Tech landed a good one in Haase, which is why she is one of the top players in Colorado for the class of 2023.
Andrea Iljkic Andrea Iljkic F State #76 Nation CO is another top prospect leaving the state for her college commitment. The forward is a verbal commit for LSU for the 2023 recruiting class. She is an ankle-breaking forward. She is a skillful dribbler with both feet and a good finisher. She has the final product that can make a difference at the next level and keep her on the field.
Michaela McGowan Michaela McGowan F State #91 Nation CO is the top recruit heading to an in-state program. McGowan is committed to Denver. She is a winger who is exceptionally smart. She does an excellent job at timing her runs into the box so she is in the right place at the right time for the cross. She has scored a number of goals this season in the ECNL thanks to that soccer smarts on the field helping her beat the defender to the point. McGowan will be a contributor at the next level.
