One to Watch: Keara Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald enters the 2025 season with hopes of finishing her long and winding road on a positive note, while Washington State looks to recapture some of the magic in their 2019 Final Four run. State’s middling past few years paired with Fitzgerald returning from ACL surgery raise some questions on what to ultimately expect to see, as it’s a situation that can easily go sour if one or two things turn the wrong way. However, if Fitzgerald can stay healthy and return to form, she might not only be able to get State to regain their postseason magic, but she might also give herself a chance at playing at the next level.
Juniors
1. Victoria Safradin (Virginia)
2. Olivia Bodmer (Rutgers)
3. Kate Phillips (Missouri)
4. Maddie Buckley (UC Santa Barbara)
5. Izzy Lee (Illinois)
6. Leah Parsons (UAB, Canada)
7. Abby Gundry (North Carolina)
8. Kyla Holmes (Yale)
9. Morgan Hobbs (UNC Wilmington)
10. Allison Deardorff (Loyola-Chicago)
One to Watch: Olivia Bodmer. Of Rutgers’ 21 games last season, 15 were decided by a goal or less, highlighting the importance of Bodmer’s play. There were certainly some low points in the season, notably Bodmer’s failed clearance against Maryland or the unfortunate deflection off the post against UConn, but the Jersey-native wasn’t afraid to put her body on the line to keep her side in the fight, as she did countless times last fall. Bodmer teeters on the cusp of good or great, depending on how much nuance Bodmer can instill in her game moving forward. Look to see how the upperclassman has added detail in her game as Rutgers will surely lean heavily on their goalkeeper this fall.
Sophomores
1. Liv Geller (TCU)
2. Hannah Johann (North Carolina, Germany)
3. Sonoma Kasica (Notre Dame)
4. Sydney Fuller (Texas A&M)
5. Jamie Campbell (Colorado)
6. Addie Todd (Florida State)
7. Sarah Wommack (Mississippi State)
8. Genesis Perez Watson (UCF, Costa Rica)
9. Jillian Medvecky (Pepperdine)
10. Nona Reason (Clemson)
11. Mariangela Medina (UCLA, Mexico)
12. Kennadie Marchand (Vanderbilt)
One to Watch: Sarah Wommack. Wommack looks to pioneer the Appalachian State-to-Mississippi State transfer pipeline as the freshman shocked opposing coaches with her continual rebuffing of opposing offenses. Now in the SEC, Wommack will have to take on even more responsibility as State’s expectations are at an all-time high, coming off one of its best seasons ever. Wommack has been granted the number one jersey for a reason but for a program that’s looking to move beyond a Sweet Sixteen appearance, Wommack will need more than athleticism to bolster the Bulldogs’ chances in November. If Wommack can continue to extend her skill set beyond shot-stopping, look for the rocket on Wommack’s back to grow even larger.
Freshmen
1. Lexi Baldwin (Mississippi)
2. Evan O'Steen (Florida State)
3. Molly Vapensky (Duke)
4. Caroline Birkel (Stanford)
5. Zoe Anderson (UNC Wilmington)
6. Nyamma Nelson (Northwestern)
7. Jacqueline Gabbert (Minnesota)
8. Kennedy Zorn (Michigan State)
9. Wicki Dunlap (Virginia)
10. Kaele Smith (NJIT)
One to Watch: Evan O'Steen. Although TST headlines were rightfully filled with Hope Solo and Lindsey Harris, the young Florida State commit had an impressive showing in the summer tournament at just 17 years old. O’Steen was active in organizing the defense, cutting off slotted balls into the 18, and playing well off her line in order to help maintain possession for her team. The confident keeper did well in most areas of the field but close range situations saw her caught between two minds too often. Assuming the YNT goalkeeper will get a chance on the field this fall, look to see how O’Steen does on a larger stage and in a larger goal with one of the top schools in the nation this fall.
