by Sheldon Shealer

February 15, 2017

More than 750 fall-, winter- and spring-playing high school girls players made the cut for the Fall TeamSnap All-America Watch List, Winter TeamSnap All-America Watch List and Spring TeamSnap All-America Watch List.

Players, through coaches recommendations and TopDrawerSoccer staff observations, will be added each week to the list as performances warrant. The only players that will be removed from the list will be athletes who are no longer playing high school soccer or sustain a season-ending injury that will take them out of all-state consideration.

The TeamSnap All-America teams are not announced until the end of the school year.

Complete list of TeamSnap All-America Update articles.

Here are recent performances and updates from players on the TeamSnap All-America Watch Lists:

GIRLS

* Allison Breed, Oxbridge Academy (Fla.), Jr., MF: Listed as a midfielder, Breed is really a forward for Oxbridge and has factored in more than half of the team's goals this season. She has 25 goals and seven assists. Oxbridge has scored 59 goals this season. Oxbridge is playing in the Florida 2A state final this weekend.

* Alexandria Griffin, Southlake Carroll (Texas), Sr., F: A deadly finisher, Griffin scored all three goals in Southlake Carroll's 3-1 win over nationally ranked Marcus last week. The Texas Tech signee missed a few matches early in the season but is now nearing 20 goals already this season.

* Maria Santin, Sr., F and Shayla Smart, Jr., F, Montverde Academy (Fla.): Santin, an uncommitted senior, and Smart, a Wake Forest-bound junior, are the driving force in the Eagles' high-powered offense. Santin has 36 goals and 14 assists. Smart has 28 goals and 21 assists. Montverde, averaging nearly six goals per match, faces Oxbridge Academy in the 2A state final this week.

* Hannah Sharts, Westlake (Calif.), Sr., MF/D: Sharts was involved in all three goals as Westlake defeated Oaks Christian 3-1 last week to complete an undefeated regular season. The UCLA commit scored twice and assisted on a goal. She was featured a year ago in a Ventura County Star article following her commitment to UCLA. Her mother lobbied to make soccer a varsity sport at UCLA, but never had the chance to play for the Bruins.

* Cassidy Tshimbalanga, Carondelet (Calif.), Jr., F: Tshimbalanga scored a game of game-winning goals last week to lift Carondelet to the East Bay Athletic League title. The uncommitted junior has a team-high 12 goals for one of the nation's top-ranked winter teams. She plays club soccer for DeAnza Force.

NOTE: The fall All-America watch list includes only players from high school teams that compete during the fall season. The Winter All-America watch list was released in November and includes players from the seven winter-playing states, and the Spring All-America watch was released in February.
