Team 7: TBD 7. Anna Pearson, center, UCLA. Pearson is a 3x All-American and 2x 1st team All-American. 8. Emma Lineback, LH attacker, UCLA. Lineback is a 2x All-American and member of the senior national team. 21. Dora Alaksza, 6’3" attacker, Pacific. Alaksza is a 2x All-American. She has scored 243 goals during her three years at Pacific, despite missing much of her freshman year with an injury. 22. Julia Bonaguidi, attacker, Cal. Bonaguidi is a member of the senior national team. She scored 36 goals for Cal last year. I think she will score at least 50 goals this year.

Team No. 2: 2. Emily Ausmus, Att, USC. 13. Alma Yaacobi, 2M, USC. 16. Ava Stryker, Att, USC 27. Lindsey Lucas, Goalie, Princeton. Lucas has been a four year starter for Princeton and a three time All-American. My high octane team is gong to need an elite goalie and I fell fortunate that she was still available this late in the draft. ---

Team 1: 1/. Christine Carpenter, GK, Stanford 14/. Quinn Healy, Stanford 15/. Lucy Haaland-Ford, Stanford 28/. Hailey Andress, Fresno State. She leads the program in accolades for good reason. A dynamic attacker with a hard outside shot and aggressive counterattack 29/. Elisa Portillo, Long Beach State. If there’s anyone giving Hawaii a run for their money this year, it’s Long Beach led by senior Elisa Portillo. Her efforts placed her at second team all-American and I’m lucky to have her as a selection this late in the game. ---

Quin will add even more firepower to my high octane offense. She scored 89 goals last year, shooting at a 56% clip. She also led her team in steals and was second in assists and drawn exclusions. ---
