In conjunction with the USMNT depth chart, the we’re now expanding the USWNT Goalkeeper Pool posts to include 100 American goalkeepers! Each goalkeeper is slotted by a number of factors: historical individual results, current individual level of play, and projected on-field performance. The top 100 attempts to remove exterior noise and team statistics to isolate the goalkeeper’s true ability. The blocks of twenty names feature a brief paragraph on players to watch, giving a small bio about certain goalkeepers and what to look out for in the coming months.
To see how the top 100 rankings have evolved since March 2015, click here.

Ones to watch: The race to replace Naeher is on. Unfortunately, the USWNT has done a fantastic job of avoiding prepping for this moment. Haught and Tullis-Joyce were most recently called into the NT camp, alongside Naeher, but six months ago neither featured within the national team setup. Campbell and Kinsbury, two of the more decorated veterans on the list, are natural leads but the USSF’s two-decade-long plan of outsourcing development to whoever is interested has left fans clueless to what direction either national team is planning to go.

Ones to watch: Goalkeepers with the highest upside here most likely include Talbert, Enneking, and Anderson. Anderson and Talbert’s professional careers have been streaky while Enneking started this fall as a Herman trophy watchlist only to finish the postseason outside looking in when it came to conference awards. Silkowitz, Hancuff and Hinz are three others still waiting on a chance in the NWSL but they, like most others, are suffering from a lack of opportunities. As 2024 was a lifeline for goalkeepers like Sarah Cox and Ashley Orkus, so could 2025 be for some aspiring goalkeepers.
41. Marisa Bova, 24 - North Carolina Courage
42. Cosette Morche, 27 - Fort Lauderdale FC

Ones to watch: The USL Super League provided a lifeline for many goalkeepers, notably Hope Hisey and Lauren Kozal. The expansion of Super League’s clubs for the 2025-26 season (going from 8 to 12 teams) should open up another 8+ roster spots, which could help a number of goalkeepers continue their professional careers. Goalkeepers like Marisa Bova and Emmie Allen have shined in limited minutes with NWSL sides while Marzia Josephson stood on her head with Kentucky during the national tournament. Look for all three to continue to carving out a career for themselves in 2025.

Ones to watch: Top college goalkeepers like Campbell, Prohaska, Plascho, and Freeman will have a tough decision to make in 2025: Push for a NWSL roster spot or try their hand in the Super League? For some, they may get to choose both with a loan move but don’t be surprised if we see a split with graduating goalkeepers. After a successful stint in Denmark, Mackiewicz returns to the US as a potential replacement for Naeher in Chicago, although Naeher has been known to be stubborn in unleashing a starting spot before.

Ones to watch: Last but not least, this group of mostly young goalkeepers - some with college eligibility left and some without - will all have the tough task of continuing their development while not losing momentum. Although goalkeepers can certainly play into their late 30s, it’s hard to develop much once you’ve hit your mid-20s. Tactical decision-making, space optimization, and maximizing efficient response times pose significant challenges for college goalkeepers eyeing the pro scene. Ideally, a goalkeeper should look noticeably sharper from even 21 to 24 but it’s not uncommon to see a goalkeeper plateau in their development at those ages. Graham, Anderson, and Craig are good examples of goalkeepers who are still developing - as displayed with several highs and lows this past fall - and need an arena to keep that momentum going.
