The latest women’s Division I recruiting class rankings are out for July.
Preseason begins this week, and changes at this point are unlikely. Pro signings have slowed down, save for a big addition from the top class.
Here’s a look at the Top 45 classes for 2024. The final rankings will be released before the 2024 season begins in August.
Please send any omissions or corrections to editor@topdrawersoccer.com.
1. Florida State* (1)
Commitments: Taylor Suarez (Charlotte Soccer Academy – No. 21), F Solai Washington (Concorde Fire – No. 25), F Wrianna Hudson (WNY Flash – No. 51), M Ashlyn Puerta (Albion SC San Diego – No. 62), F Peyton McGovern (Virginia Development Academy – No. 70), GK Emma Kirlin (Carolina Elite Soccer Academy)
Transfers: D/F Nina Norshie (Barton Community College), F Kameron Simmonds (Tennessee), D Camille Ashe (Portland), F Giana Reilly (Gonzaga), M Marianyela Jimenez (William Carey)
FSU lost Jordyn Bugg to the pro ranks, although there’s enough here to retain the top spot in the class.
2. UCLA (2)
Commitments: D Nicola (Nicki) Fraser (Real Colorado – No. 12), D Kamryn Winger (Virginia Development Academy – No. 15), F Isabella Winn (World Class FC – No. 19), M Avery Robinson (Florida Elite SA – No. 39), F Kara Croone (Concorde Fire Platinum – No. 46), D Paloma Daubert (San Juan SC – No. 50), F Samantha Sanchez (MVLA – No. 64), F Layla Armas (Mustang SC), F Jordan Geis (MVLA)
Transfers: GK Ryan Campbell (Stanford), F Lily Boyden (Washington State), M Alice Barbieri (Oregon)
Talent from around the country is slated to join UCLA. Fraser and Winger bring national team experience to the back line, while Winn, Croone and Sanchez reinforce the attack.
3. Stanford* (3)
Commitments: M Eleanor Klinger (Internationals SC – No. 8), F Jaden Thomas (FC Dallas – No. 11), D Ella Emri (San Diego Surf – No. 20), M Charlotte Kohler (MVLA – No. 17), M Samantha Smith (Boise Thorns – No. 32), D Elizabeth Boamah (San Diego Surf – No. 34), D Sophie Murdock (Mtn. View Los Altos – No. 161), GK Kaiya Jota (LA Breakers FC – No. 178), M Maria Crisera (Beach FC (CA) – No. 192)
Klinger’s reclassification has Stanford’s class in the range of the top spot here. It’s a huge influx of talent. Boamah is playing exceptionally well at the ECNL Girls playoffs.
4. Notre Dame* (4)
Commitments: M Grace Restovich (SLSG Navy – No. 10), D Abigail Gemma (IMG Academy – No. 26), GK Sonoma Kasica (Florida Premier – No. 40), M Izzy Engle (Minnesota Thunder Academy – No. 41), D Eleanor Hodsden (Lonestar SC – No. 54), D Abigail Mills (Solar SC – No. 102), M Riley DeMartino (Bethesda SC – No. 129), F Ally Pinto (DKSC), F Annabelle Chukwu (NDC Ontario), D Randie Foor (Michigan Hawks), D Melinda Hathaway (Nationals), M/F Lily Joseph (Connecticut Rush), D Rowan Pearl (Indiana Fire Academy)
Transfers: GK Katherine Montgomery (Missouri State), M Reagen Pauwels (Cornell)
Depth from the United States and Canada are heading to South Bend. Abigail Gemma was an early enrollee this spring.
5. Penn State* (5)
Commitments: M Katie Scott (Internationals SC – No. 16), GK Kealey Titmuss (Nationals – No. 23), F Addison Hess (TSJ FC Virginia – No. 30), D Bella Ayscue (NC Courage – No. 108), D Kieryn Jeter (Tophat SC – No. 125), D Natalie Magnotta (Penn Fusion – No. 166), D Lilly Burger (PA Classics), F Aubrey Kulpa (Oakwood SC)
Transfers: M Jordan Fusco (Tennessee), D Kayleigh Herr (North Carolina), D Ginger Fontenot (Penn)
The Nittany Lions have a typically excellent class, that features additions all over the field. Ayscue’s been one of the picks of the group, as a ball-playing central defender that could also play outside back. Keep an eye on Katie Scott as well, who is part of the 07 national team and one of several players that reclassified.
