Broward-Palm Beach 2022 Preseason All-Metro Girls

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just outside of Miami, in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, lies a lot of girls soccer talent. This is evidenced by the fact that six of the Best XI from Broward-Palm Beach are committed to Division I programs, with five others that very well could be.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a senior heavy group, with 10 of the 11 entering their final high school season. As mentioned, six of those 10 are committed with two of them staying in state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FORWARDS: [player_tooltip player_id='21289' first='Lily' last='White'] is the lone underclassmen on the Preseason All-Metro team, and for good reason. She scored 20 goals and dished out eight assists as a sophomore, and now has 43 goals in two seasons after scoring 23 in just 15 games as a freshman. [player_tooltip player_id='21273' first='Leah' last='Finkelman'] has 77 goals in her first three seasons, as 100 is within her grasp especially when you consider she scored 34 as a junior last season. She is committed to the University of Pennsylvania. [player_tooltip player_id='21359' first='Nyela' last='Calnek'] is going to be playing at Vanderbilt next season, and she scored 10 goals in just 12 games as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MIDFIELDERS: [player_tooltip player_id='21285' first='Lillian' last='Nava'] leads the midfield as the Central Florida commit scored 22 goals as a junior, and has 68 in her career, including 34 as a freshman. [player_tooltip player_id='21185' first='Jazmin' last='Herrera'] returns as the captain for the Archbishop McCarthy team after missing last season, while [player_tooltip player_id='21162' first='Isabella' last='Diez'] will look to help a South Florida HEAT team get past the quarterfinals after a 24-win campaign a year ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DEFENDERS: Three of the four defenders are committed to Division I programs with teammates from American Heritage-Plantation, [player_tooltip player_id='33336' first='Nyema' last='Freeman'] and [player_tooltip player_id='21092' first='Dori' last='Johnson'], going to the University of Miami and Grambling State, respectively. The team will be looking for a 5A title after coming close last year, losing to Naples 1-0 in the regional semifinal. [player_tooltip player_id='21306' first='Macy' last='Berg'] is committed to Miami University in Ohio, and on top of being a class defender she has eight career goals. Ann Brady of St. Thomas Aquinas is a smaller defender, but fierce and strong and is a bit of an Iron Lady, playing nearly every minute of every match last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KEEPER: [player_tooltip player_id='20925' first='Ashley' last='Small'] is coming off a knee injury, but looks to be the top keeper in the area and should help the Pine Crest Panthers go deeper into their season in 2022/2023. The Panthers lost to Palmer Trinity in the District playoffs last year to end their season, and a keeper like Small who plays on the the US National Futsal team should be able to help.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure id="tablepress-249" class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Position</td><td>Name</td><td>School</td><td>Grade</td><td>Commitment</td></tr><tr><td>GK</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='20925' first='Ashley' last='Small']</td><td>Pinecrest</td><td>Jr.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>D</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21306' first='Macy' last='Berg']</td><td>Cardinal Gibbons</td><td>Sr.</td><td>Miami (Ohio)</td></tr><tr><td>D</td><td>Ann Brady</td><td>St. Thomas Aquinas</td><td>Sr.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>D</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='33336' first='Nyema' last='Freeman']</td><td>American Heritage-Plantation</td><td>Sr.</td><td>University of Miami</td></tr><tr><td>D</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21092' first='Dori' last='Johnson']</td><td>American Heritage-Plantation</td><td>Sr.</td><td>Grambling State</td></tr><tr><td>M</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21162' first='Isabella' last='Diez']</td><td>South Florida HEAT</td><td>Sr.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>M</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21185' first='Jazmin' last='Herrera']</td><td>Archbishop McCarthy</td><td>Sr.</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>M</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21285' first='Lillian' last='Nava']</td><td>Westminster Academy</td><td>Sr.</td><td>Central Florida</td></tr><tr><td>F</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21359' first='Nyela' last='Calnek']</td><td>American Heritage-Delray</td><td>Sr.</td><td>Vanderbilt</td></tr><tr><td>F</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21273' first='Leah' last='Finkelman']</td><td>North Broward Prep</td><td>Sr.</td><td>UPenn</td></tr><tr><td>F</td><td>[player_tooltip player_id='21289' first='Lily' last='White']</td><td>Benjamin School</td><td>Jr.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table -->
