<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a quick, short list of some notable standouts to begin the girls soccer season in Wisconsin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>F [player_tooltip player_id='28469' first='Anna' last='Sikorski'], Muskego, Jr</strong>: Starting off a new high school season right where she ended it. Sikorski notched four goals against state-ranked Waunakee and has five in two games. She recently committed to Kentucky. Muskego is the team to beat in Division 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>M/F [player_tooltip player_id='28506' first='Emily' last='McCarthy'], Kimberly, Jr</strong>: An all-state selection as a sophomore, McCarthy has Kimberly on a hot 4-0 start to the season. In four games, she had 7 goals and 4 assists. Kimberly is currently ranked second behind Muskego in Division 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>F Amelia Schuh, De Pere, Jr: </strong>Schuh got off to a blazing start against Seymour with three goals in the first half and an assist to win 6-0. Her third goal of that game was quite impressive with a banger from 25 yards out that curled into the opposite corner. She then scored the lone goal of the match to beat Appleton East 1-0.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>GK [player_tooltip player_id='28533' first='Riley' last='Franklin'], Whitefish Bay, Sr: </strong>The Baylor commit is arguably the best keeper in Wisconsin. She has Whitefish Bay off to a hot 3-1 start and had a 0.28 goals against average. Conceding one goal on 19 saves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>F [player_tooltip player_id='28470' first='Camryn' last='Ries'], Waukesha West, Sr: </strong>UIC Signee. Ries has 12 goals and six assists to begin the season. This includes scoring seven in a two-game stretch. She's a player who plays with lots of speed and never loses confidence. Surely a name to watch on a team looking to make noise this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>D Megan Thomsen, Waukesha West, So: </strong>Another emerging name to watch for Waukesha west. Thomsen is a strong outside back but is capable of playing in the midfield too. She does well at initiating counterattacks and making long runs up and down the field. Has a goal and two assists on the young season so far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>F Alexa Pettit, Union Grove, Sr: </strong>The 5'7" forward leads Division 1 in points so far with 19. Notable performances include a four-goal outing against Racine Case and scoring three goals with two assists against Kenosha Indian Trail. Union Grove has three dominating wins to begin the year, much thanks to Pettit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mabel Cielpluch, Milwaukee King, Jr: </strong>Cielpluch leads D1 with eight assists on the young season to go along with four goals. Seven of those assists came against Milwaukee Carmen in a 10-0 rout. A name to watch in the midfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
