The May update to the Women’s Division I Recruiting Class Rankings are out for the class of 2026.

Changes are minimal, though international additions move the needle. Reclassifications continue to impact the rankings as well. Transfers will be ranked separately until the next window closes.

Below are the Top 35 freshman class additions for 2026.

1. North Carolina (1)

Commitments: M Scottlyn Antonucci (Legends FC – No. 7), F Sealey Strawn (Dallas Trinity FC – No. 9), D Cali O’Neill (NC Courage – No. 12), M/F Deus Stanislaus (PDA – No. 15), F Amari Manning (PDA – No. 22), GK Peyton Trayer (Slammers FC HB Koge – No. 36), M Ella Martinez (Concorde Fire SC – No. 64), F Samantha Rich (Lamorinda SC – No. 74), M Maggie Currie (MVLA – No. 84), F Leah Kuklick (NC Courage), M Chloe Shroff (Wilmington Hammerheads FC)

UNC has lost several players to pro soccer from last fall’s roster, which will now open the door for this incoming group to step in and make a claim for playing time right away.

2. Stanford (2) 

Commitments: D London Young (FC Dallas – No. 8), F Peyton Marinos (Slammers FC HB Koge – No. 19), F Ella Kral (Lamorinda SC – No. 25), D Sadie Leal-Schuman (MVLA – No. 47), D Kennedy Kelly (Tophat SC – No. 98), F Alessandra Munneke (De Anza Force – No. 111), F Aniya Williams (Pateadores SC)

The Cardinal needs a good class, with a high quality senior group leaving. They’ve got that, with several youth national team contributors who should be able to play right away.

3. Penn State* (3)

Commitments: F Elayna Kocher (Penn Fusion SA – No. 10), F Anna Babcock (Crossfire Premier SC – No. 14), F Olivia Robinson (STA – No. 18), M Paige Pasinski (SC del Sol – No. 35), M Emma Johnson (Indy Premier SC – No. 37), GK Lily Selvy (Lou Fusz Athletic – No. 157), M Layla Tomezak (Nationals)

Five recruits in the Top 50 have the Nittany Lions among the premier classes in 2026. Robinson’s rise and ability looks to be a tremendous pick up.
