Katelyn Caballero, Jr., Gilbert Campo Verde: A midfielder who can do it all, Caballero scored 12 goals and had 11 assists for one of the top teams in 5A that made it to the state championship final.
Aria Cain, Sr., Queen Creek Casteel: Cain uses her electric speed to power past defenses. Scored 15 goals to go along with 6 assists for the Colts.
Caprice Chiuchiolo, Jr., Gilbert Christian: A threat from multiple levels of the field, she recorded 33 goals and 20 assists. Had the game-ending goal in the 3A state championship.
Cienna Gosewisch, Sr., Phoenix Desert Vista: A defensive midfielder who rarely loses one-on-one duals, also operates as a field general when on the ball. Scored 4 goals and chipped in 4 assists as the Thunder made a deep run in the 6A playoffs, reaching the semifinals.
Saydie Herbert, So., Gilbert Perry: An electric attacking option up top who can also create. Scored 10 goals with 13 assists for the Pumas, who earned the top seed in the 6A playoffs.
Lourdes Lauterborn, Sr., Phoenix Xavier College Preparatory: Had 13 goals and 6 assists for the state’s top team, which didn’t lose a single game the whole season (12-0-4) as the Gators won their fourth straight 6A title.

Kathryn Rueter, Sr., Chandler Hamilton: An intelligent player who makes pin-point decisions with the ball at her feet. Switched to center back midway through the season after playing as a wide defender, was pivotal in shutting down opponents throughout the 6A playoff bracket as the Huskies made it to the title game.
Sydney Snowden, Sr., Gilbert Perry: A dominating presence on the backline who presents challenges for even the state’s top offensive players, uses her field awareness to shut down opposing attacks. A big reason why the Pumas had a +30 goal margin.
