Luz Hernandez, Forward, Clayton Valley, Class of 2025
Hernandez is a strong, technical left-footed wide player who can shoot and score from anywhere. Last week she scored two goals to lead the Eagles to a win over Campolindo.
Ally Hsieh Ally Hsieh F State CA , Striker, Branson, Class of 2024
Hsieh is great at creating chances and has 11 goals this year already, despite needing time to round back into form after injury. She had a three-goal week last week, including the game-winner against Archie Williams. She can beat players off the dribble, she is quick and times her runs well to unlock a back line. She also delivers quality service in the final third.
Dakota Ledesma, Forward, Redwood, Class of 2024
Ledesma had a game-winning goal and a game-winning assist in two games for the Giants last week. She is a very good 1v1 player, taking advantage of those situations on the outside. She can deliver a dangerous ball into the box, and can do so with her left foot. She has a good technical base and can influence the game with that and her set piece ability.
Katie Lowenstein, Midfielder, Tamalpais, Class of 2025
Lowenstein is a very technical player who is excellent with her back to goal. She displays good vision, and good versatility as she can play any midfield position. In a two-win week for Tam, she had both game-winning goals and had an assist.
Morgan Phalen, Outside Defender, Berean Christian, Class of 2025
Phalen is a wide defender who can also play as a wide forward. She is a very, very fast player who is great at pushing up, excellent at making overlapping runs or whipping a ball into the box. She had three goals and an assist last week.
Kyliegh Sekulich, Attacking Midfielder, Las Lomas, Class of 2024
Sekulich helped the Knights to nine wins in 11 games, scoring a goal and contributing an assist in a win over Miramonte. She is a UC Riverside commit and she is a really strong, technical player who is very quick. She is a solid player all around.
Lana Wihlborg, Forward, Marin Catholic, Class of 2026
The sophomore is just getting into her form, scoring three goals in the last week, including the game-winner. A technically sound player, she can score in a variety of ways.
