As you may have heard, our final 2012 Top 100 Girls Ranking update was released today. 

So in honor of the best seniors in the country we’re declaring this the Top 100 edition of our commitment update. So let’s examine our most recent signings/commits and the Top 100 stars they’ll be joining.


Riley Barger (Freestate SA) has signed with Maryland for the 2012 season, a good decision considering the talent that will be accompanying her.

 Our No. 6 ranked player Ashley Spivey is also set to join the Terrapins along with No. 19 Gabby Galanti and No. 47 Sarah Molina. 

Molina and Spivey have shared the field on U.S. National Teams while Galanti is an absolute force in the midfield. 

Barger, you just joined forces with a stellar lineup.

 Not to be outdone is Aaron Strawser (Albion Hurricanes FC) who has signed her future to Texas for the 2012 season.

 Goalkeeper Abby Smith, the No. 12 slotted player in the country, and No. 41 ranked Kelsey Shimmick will be Strawser’s wing women (not literally, but you get it).

Jaclyn Miller (NASA) has signed with Massachusetts for the 2012 season while Daniela Alvarez (Legends SC) has verbally committed to Massachusetts for the 2013 season where she’ll ultimately join our 30th ranked player Mikayla Williams. A dynamic midfielder, Williams will be able to show Alvarez how to attack a defense when she arrives next year.



Another young player who should enjoy a special apprenticeship is Genevieve McGowan, a 2014 who has fired off her verbal to Notre Dame. 

McGowan may very well be in awe when she makes it to campus with the likes of: Stephanie Campo (No. 38), Katie Naughton (No. 4), Cari Roccaro (No. 3), Brittany Von Rueden (No. 27) and Glory Williams (No. 16) all lending their star power to the Fighting Irish.
