ADDITIONAL STORY LINES

* With several club programs leaving the Girls Development Academy, it could allow a couple hundred top female players to rejoin their high school teams. That certainly will happen in New Jersey, and the net effect will change some teams' fortunes and bring in players who sooner-than-later will be added to the All-America Watch List.

Much has been and will be written on the players above, therefore, below are some notes on additional players to watch ...

* The top female recruit in the Heartland Region who is No. 91 in the latest 2020 IMG Academy 150 is expected to return to high school play this season. Cretin-Derham Hall (Minn.) coach Rosie Malone-Povolny confirmed that Notre Dame commit Paige Peltier will be back this fall as a junior. Peltier was a freshman standout who missed last year due to injury. 

* Speaking of a return to high school play, Adrian Arguello will be back at Caldwell (Idaho) this fall. Touted as the best player in Idaho, Arguello previously played in the US Soccer Development Academy with the Portland Timbers, where he started 24 of his 27 appearances during the 2016-17 season.
