Wisconsin 2026's show great talent and ability

Wisconsins is a state often overlooked in terms of girls soccer, but there is plenty of talent in the Badger state. Five players from the class of 2026 are players worthy of attention, and they are highlighted below.    Brockert is incredibly decisive as she knows immediately when to come out for a ball. She will go outside the area to clear a ball if she has to, and whatever she decides, she wins the ball. She's strong, she's fast and she's determined. She's also a great athlete with quick reactions as she makes point-blank saves look routine, and she is so quick to react that she gets to her feet and gets to the ball quickly to keep from allowing a rebound. She's great about taking crosses and corners, and when she gathers the ball she is very quick about transitioning, showing the ability to get the ball to a running player with a strong throw or a drop kick. She is also one of the hardest working keepers I've seen.     Artlip sees the angles and closes fast. She can get to a ball quicker than others because she understands the quickest way to get there, and she plays with more determinations. She is a disruptive force in the midfield who is constantly breaking up attacks, constantly winning 50/50 balls and helping her team win possession and transition the other direction.     Knowles has a smooth, short left-footed stroke and because it is so short, she gets shots off quickly. She manages to get a lot of power behind it despite not needing to wind it up much. She can score from anywhere on the pitch as she can turn quickly and get a shot off in the area, she can fire from distance and she is particularly dangerous when cutting in from the right, getting the ball on her favorite left foot and firing while crossing the face of goal.     A willing and able runner, Nichols shows how hard she works and how much she moves when you see her play. She is constant motion, looking for space as she is seeking to be dangerous. She makes well-timed runs and has a knack for finishing, whether it be slotting a ball home or attacking a ball in the air and getting on the end of it.     Paar can play any forward position and she can adjust her game to what is needed. She can send in crosses from either foot, she can drive and take on defenders, creating space for others or she can operate in tiny areas, create space for herself and hit a shot. She's very fast, shows good speed when on the ball and operates smoothly when in possession.
