Although it's still early for this freshman class, several players have distinguished themselves as potential stars for the next level in soccer. Here’s a closer look at five standout athletes making waves in the rankings.

Angelica Alzugaray, Cincinnati United Premier – No. 2

While Loradana Paletta holds the top spot in the 2011 age group, Angelica Alzugaray should not be overlooked. As a central midfielder for the Girls Academy squad, Alzugaray has gained invaluable experience and exposure through Cincinnati’s prominent boys program. In December, she showcased her skills while competing with Cincinnati’s MLS NEXT squad in Arizona, holding her own against tough competition. Her development trajectory suggests she is poised to make a significant impact at the next level.

Marley Skalski, WNY Flash – No. 9

A former star from Upstate New York, Marley Skalski is following a path similar to that of Linda Ullmark, who recently turned pro out of North Carolina. In her freshman year at St. Mary’s, Skalski excelled, scoring an impressive 43 goals and providing 25 assists, including the game-winning goal in the high school state championship for her division. This momentum carried into her club season, where she netted four goals and added an assist while playing up with the 2010 WNY side.

Amada Rodriguez, Slammers FC HB Koge – No. 50

Although Amada Rodriguez has yet to receive a call-up to the full youth national team, she’s establishing herself as one of the top outside backs in the country, particularly on the left side. With a strong defensive motor and remarkable technical ability, Rodriguez contributes significantly on both ends of the field. Currently a freshman at the prestigious Harvard-Westlake in Southern California, she is expected to rise in the rankings as her talent continues to shine.

Trinity Bledsoe, String Royal – No. 64

The talented attacker Trinity Bledsoe recently showcased her skills at a national event in Florida, solidifying her reputation as a player to watch. Currently in the midst of her freshman season at Westlake Academy, she made headlines by scoring seven goals in a single game for her high school team. Bledsoe typically plays against 2010 opposition at the club level, showcasing her prowess as an attacking midfielder with a knack for finding space and influencing the game.

Blair Bickerstaff, Michigan Hawks – No. 108

The Michigan Hawks concluded their season in December, finishing as the winners of the Midwest Conference. This impressive campaign sets the stage for an exciting postseason, especially with the ECNL Playoffs and Finals scheduled for July 11-18 in Redmond, coinciding with the men's World Cup hosted in the United States. Blair Bickerstaff, an attacking talent on the wings, is eager to contribute to her team’s success as they prepare for this pivotal moment.

As these young athletes continue to develop, their journeys will be closely watched by college scouts and soccer enthusiasts alike. The Class of 2029 is shaping up to be a hotbed of talent, making it clear that the future of women’s soccer in the United States is bright.
