by Sheldon Shealer

April 13, 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

* F Claire Grouwinkel, South Torrance (Calif.), Sr.: Grouwinkel's 40th goal of the season helped South Torrance to a CIF Southern California Regional title and secured her bid as Daily Breeze Player of the Year. The UC Irvine signee made a habit of scoring clutch game-winning goals. He was a two-time all-section Player of the Year and scored overtime game-winners as a freshman and as a senior in the section finals.

* F Maddison Krstec, Lakewood Ranch (Fla.), Sr.: Krstec, who has signed with Maryland, was named Herald-Tribune Player of the Year. She finished the season with 19 goals and 13 assists. while leading Lakewood Ranch to a district title.

* Maggie Pierce, Cardinal Gibbons (N.C.), Jr.: The North Carolina commit has 10 goals and 12 assists in 11 matches as SIMA FAB 50-ranked Cardinal Gibbons is off to a 12-1-1 start.

* D Mary Raymond, Palm Harbor University (Fla.), So.: Raymond was named the Tampa Bay Times Player of the Year, and we're not sure which fact is more surprising -- a defender won the honor or the PoY went to a sophomore. In any case, Raymond earned it. She is expected to soon announce her verbal commit. She helped Palm Harbor University to a 21-1-1 season in which it allowed only nine goals.

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.
