ECNL Girls National Finals: 09 Goalkeepers Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>San Diego Surf G09: [player_tooltip player_id='144817' first='Brooke' last='S Volpp'] and [player_tooltip player_id='146222' first='Gabriella' last='Markos'] anchor a San Diego Surf side that made it through Seattle allowing only a singular goal against in four matches. If their form continues in that fashion, it's going to be tough to see them bow out of the tournament without some major misfortune. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Penn Fusion G09: <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/player/isabella-kail/">Isabella Kail</a> put together a good showing in Seattle. Their last group game got a bit dicey, but their other three contests saw them only concede once, so there is plenty to be gained from knowing that they can keep clean sheets. Interesting note from their time in Seattle: all four of their victories were 1 goal wins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":189225,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/07/hogan.jpg?w=961" alt="" class="wp-image-189225"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Prep Soccer</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PDA G09: <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/player/ava-hogan/">Ava Hogan</a> and <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/player/jordan-reigrod/">Jordan Reigrod</a> will look to continue their solid play in Richmond when they take on KC Athletics in the Elite 8. Through their four matches in Seattle, the pair secured two shutouts and gave up only three goals, putting them in the top half of the teams remaining when it comes to that statline. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":189226,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/07/Reigrod.jpg?w=645" alt="" class="wp-image-189226"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Prep Soccer</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solar FC: Two shutouts and three one goal matches was the takeaway from Seattle for <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/player/macy-martin/">Macy Martin</a> and <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/player/raylie-ramirez/">Raylie Ramirez</a>. This group was tested down the stress to make the National Finals, and now they'll look to use that as motivation to move on to the next rounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":189228,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/07/solar-crop-997x655-1720245750.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-189228"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Prep Soccer</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slammers FC HB Koge: [player_tooltip player_id='184434' first='Stella' last='Adler'] is going to be the centerpiece for the backline of Slammers FC HB Koge going into the National Finals. She'll hope for more of what she saw in their early matches in Seattle, a pair of decisive shutouts, instead of the latter half of that trip, which saw three goals conceded and a penalty shootout to advance to Richmond. To Adler and the squad's credit, however, they did win those matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
