She tends to end up on a list of standouts. There have multiple games when she stole the show for her team and made the winning play. Woolforde is going to be in the spotlight more in 2026. She's yet to breakthrough as a Youth National Team player, but the traits are there for a player who can reach that level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270098"],"_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-695312eaec679"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lomeli was a member of the Prep Soccer Best XI for the ECNL Playoffs over the summer. Her stock only continues to rise since then. She's been invited to NWSL ID Centers, tearing up the varsity level on the high school field as a freshman, and continued to tear it up at the ECNL level now playing with FC Bay Area 2011 ECNL. Lomeli's toughness, unstoppable engine, and soccer smarts make her one of the best players in the country. And one of the players who shined brightest in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["290438"],"_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-695312eaec6c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seger is a midfielder on the San Diego Surf 2011 ECNL team. She was also highlighted during the ECNL Playoffs last season. She has cemented herself as one of the best left footed midfielders in the country. There's a lot of Seger's games to like, but the fact that she continues to elevate her play in the Surf system speaks volumes to her potential. Being the catalyst of a Surf midfield showcases her soccer intelligence and ability to read the opposition. Seger's play off the ball is spectacular. She is always checking her shoulders and making adjustments with her body to open up to more of the field. Seger has the aptitude to be the top midfielder in her class in the country. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["290422"],"_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-695312eaec714"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Earl is one of the stars of the So Cal Blues 2011 ECNL team that took over the club scene in 2025. She is a two-way player who is one of the best attacking talents in 1v1 situations. She's got lightning quick feet and great balance. She impressed scouts during 2025 and earned a spot on the U.S. Youth National Team. Her spot as one of the best in the nation at her position has continued to motivate her and lead the way for her club team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["111097"],"_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-695312eaec75d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miller is a defender on the MVLA who captured a ton of attention in 2024 as the ECNL Player of the Year. She followed that up with another stellar season at the ECNL level. She helped her club team to an ECNL National Championship. Miller is a player who dominates and brings consistency every time she is on the field. It's no surprise she has ended up on so many Best XI articles over the past year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["295792"],"_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-695312eaec7a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The outside back from [program_tooltip program_id='283476' first='Slammers' last='FC'] Koge took over the scene in 2029. A tough-nosed defender with a no-nonsense approach shined brightest at the biggest stage. She followed that up with key performance after key performance. She is one of the top ranked players in the state from the freshman class. She's already found a role at the high school level playing varsity for Harvard-Westlake, one of the top teams. Rodriguez seems to only get better with each game so she will likely be on this list again in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["280237"],"_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-695312eaec7ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Crockett took over the conversation in the summer when she put together a sterling display in the ECNL playoffs. She continued to show up as one of the best players in the country in every game scouts attended since then. Crockett offers elite attributes in a number of regards and that was a main reason why she earned a top spot in the first player ranking for her class in the state. Crockett has a bright future and should be a regular on the top performers list for the foreseeable future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
