TOP ALL-AMERICA CANDIDATES
(in alphabetical order)
Eric Axtman Eric Axtman GK Central Dauphin | 2022 PA , Central Dauphin (Pa.), Sr.
Axtman committed to Lafayette last week, just before Central Dauphin started regular-season play. In the team’s lone outing, Central Dauphin routed Cedar Cliff 10-0.
Ryan Friedberg Ryan Friedberg GK Westfield | 2022 NJ , Westfield (N.J.), Sr.
The 6-foot-4 Cornell commit needed to make only one save in Westfield’s 3-0 winning debut last week against Union. He also played for the school’s basketball team the past two school years.
Zachary Glesius Zachary Glesius GK Avon Lake | 2022 OH , Avon Lake (Ohio), Sr.
Glesius might fly beneath the radar since Avon Lake is not a household name when it comes to Ohio high school soccer. However, he has committed to Virginia Tech and has posted a pair of shutouts this season.
Patrick McLaughlin Patrick McLaughlin GK St. Ignatius (OH) | 2023 State OH , St. Ignatius (Ohio), Jr.
The 6-foot-2 junior keeper already is being courted by several of the top Division I colleges in the Midwest. It certainly helps that his father is a former Division I player and his older brother currently plays at Notre Dame. McLaughlin is part of a St. Ignatius defense that has six shutouts in eight matches.
Rafa Ponce de Leon Rafa Ponce de Leon GK Pennington School | 2022 NJ , Pennington School (N.J.), Sr.
The 6-foot-3 Villanova commit is among the top goalkeepers in the country. He recorded the shutout in Pennington’s one-sided season-opening victory.
Mikah Seger Mikah Seger GK Lackey | 2022 State MD , Lackey (Md.), Sr.
The Maryland commit plays at Lackey, a mid-sized public school in Southern Maryland, well outside of the flash of the more populated metro areas in the state. Since Lackey will roll many of its league foes, look for Seger to see time on the field. In fact, in the team’s season-opening 11-0 win, he posted a pair of first-half saves, then assisted a goal.
Ryan Thompson Ryan Thompson GK Rockhurst | 2022 MO , Rockhurst Jesuit (Mo.), Sr.
The former Sporting Kansas City youth club player is the top keeper in the Kansas City area and a returning all-state selection. He has Rockhurst off to a 5-1 start this season.
Eric Widrick Eric Widrick GK Arlington | 2022 MA , Arlington (Mass.), Sr.
The season just started in Massachusetts. Last school year, Widrick posted six shutouts during an abbreviated season. Widrick has committed to Colgate.
