She plays high school soccer for Grand Prairie and recently joined [program_tooltip program_id='283648' first='FC' last='Dallas']' U19 team in the ECNL League after many years with Solar SC. Cervantes' impeccable technique between the posts is what makes of her the top goalkeeper in Texas in her class. She simply doesn't make mistakes in goal and is as reliable as it gets with her decision-making and execution when it comes to stopping shots. Despite not being very tall, she has excellent control of the penalty box and is very effective at dealing with crosses. Another of Cervantes' strengths is her skilled left foot, which makes her very comfortable on the ball and allows her to connect accurate long passes out of the back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/1kaylacervantes/status/1961262555709493292","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/1kaylacervantes/status/1961262555709493292 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26985"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6901260ac87bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tetmeyer comes right after Cervantes on the list, ranking second among the goalkeepers and 16th overall in Texas. She plays for Cedar Ridge's high school program and has been a staple for the [program_tooltip program_id='283497' first='Sting' last='Austin'] U19 team in the ECNL league. Consistency is one of her trademarks as she's been performing at a very high level for years, while also adding new tools to her game. Long and athletic, Tetmeyer is extremely explosive between the posts and demands full effort from opponents who want to score on her. She's impressively calm between the posts, and that mental strength allows her to step up in key moments and produce big saves for her team. Tetmeyer is also a vocal leader, who consistently and efficiently communicates with her defenders during matches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:image {"id":173258,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2024/05/IMG_4851.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-173258" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["87920"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6901260ac8814"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mollett is the fifth-best goalkeeper and the 39th-ranked prospect in Texas in the class of the 2026 according to our Rankings. Mollett captains Sunnyvale at the high school level and plays for [program_tooltip program_id='333974' first='Atletico' last='Dallas'] U19 in the Girls Academy League - she also has experience in the ECNL after playing for many years with Sting Royal.

She's a key player for both her high school team Lake Creek and her club side [program_tooltip program_id='283282' first='Challenge' last='SC'] U19 in the ECNL league. Lipari has risen through the ranks over the last two years, going from Challenge's RL squad to become an important piece in their top team. She has solid foundations in her game, but what makes her an elite shot-stopper is her ability to read opponents when they get into the box and react accordingly, picking the best options to keep the ball off the net. Lipari also uses her feet well and distributes the ball efficiently out of the back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uGChJwJRzU","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uGChJwJRzU </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["207298"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6901260ac88bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Koop has made it to our Rankings watchlist. She starts for an elite high school program in Seven Lakes and recently switched clubs, going from SG1 in the ECNL Regional League to GFI in the Girls Academy Aspire Division League. Her game between the posts heavily relies on her agility and her ability to quickly get to the ground to make saves, two skills that really show when she is faced with short-distance shots. Always calm in goal, Koop is also very consistent when dealing wth finishes from outside the box. The goalkeeper uses her feet well and is very comfortable on the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPG-O0GgHV5/">Highlights</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
