WPIAL Girls Soccer: Class 3A Sections and Preseason Players to Watch (2023)

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), we are pleased to share Preseason Players to Watch list for the 2023 season by classification.

These are preliminary lists based mostly returning players who earned All-WPIAL honors in the 2022 season and those who landed on the Moe Rosensteel Award watch list — also included in this post.

The big story in Class 3A last year, despite many talented teams and players, it was always going to come down to Moon and Mars — the two defending PIAA / WPIAL champions — after Moon stepped down in Class. And it was Moon who came away with wins against Mars in both the WPIAL Final and in the PIAA Semifinal.

As always, we look forward to seeing many other players develop and come to the forefront of our attention during the course of the 2023 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 in early November and the PIAA (State) playoffs which will follow.
