As the high school girls soccer season prepares to officially start up in Western Pennsylvania this week (first games are set to be played on Friday, September 3), we are pleased to share PSN’s Preseason Players to Watch list for the 2021 season by classification.
These are preliminary lists based mostly returning players who earned All-WPIAL honors in the 2020 season and those who landed on the Moe Rosensteel Award watch list.
As always, we look forward to seeing many other players develop and come to the forefront of our attention during the course of the 2021 season.
We look forward to another season of coverage on Pittsburgh Soccer Now, which will culminate with the WPIAL Playoffs including the return of the Finals for each of the eight Boys and Girls classifications at Highmark Stadium on November 5 and 6 and the PIAA (State) playoffs which will follow.
