She plays up two years on the U17 level and was nothing but sensational this summer. Also winning Midwest Conference MVP. Pfeiffer is a true game changer who makes everyone around her better. I’m a big fan of the plays she creates for both herself and her teammates. Future is extremely bright.

This was a tough choice between Pfeiffer and her teammate Caroline Birkel Caroline Birkel null | GK State #13 Nation MO . Then there were about nine other players on SLSG Navy who were also worthy of consideration on this list. The SLSG Navy team might be the most enjoyable and exciting team in this age group. Pfeiffer ends up earning the spotlight because the quality she brings from a playmaking standpoint is unmatched across the age groups in the ECNL. A skillful dribbler who plays with a ton of confidence, Pfeiffer is the type of talent who decides championships and SLSG Navy is counting on that as they let her run the show in the attack with this group.

Pfeiffer will be in action with SLSG Navy G06 despite being a class of 2026 prospect. That alone speaks volumes about her potential, but doesn’t get even close to reflecting how talented she is. From pace to quality on the ball and decision-making, she has all the tools to be an elite attacking player. Pfeiffer is at her best when playing on the wings, but she has the skills to thrive in the middle or in more clogged areas of the field too. She’s great at beating opponents off the dribble, uses both feet extremely well and is a very good passer and finisher. Pfeiffer is very mobile and very intelligent with movement off the ball too. Her main attribute is perhaps her ability to the best of what each situation gives her.

The midwest is likely underrepresented on this national list, so expect to see quite a few names from that region added to the rankings in the near future.

She is part of the US Youth National Team program and seems to have endless potential.

Alexandra Pfeiffer Alexandra Pfeiffer F/M Visitation Academy | 2026 State MO is one of the top players from the class of 2026. She is listed as a forward on this roster, but as a midfielder on her recruiting profile. She is probably going to pencil in as a winger with this group, but she has the skill to be an attacking midfielder as well. With a small roster, that type of versatility is key for a successful run to the final.

Pfeiffer is one of my favorite players in the ECNL because of her drive. She will score a goal and then immediately want to score another goal. She is a determined player with a lot of skill. She is good with both feet. She likes to attempt long-range shots when the defenders drop off against her, which she will face a lot of in this event. But when she is crowded, she has a quick burst and can get past a mark with ease to get to the end line for a cross or shot. Pfeiffer will be a top player to watch among the attackers in this group.
