Harvard-Westlake (Calif.) and current FAB 50 No. 3 Carondelet (Calif.) were unable to make the trek to Texas for this week’s event. Still, the field is loaded with top teams.

F Audrey Bryant Audrey Bryant null | F Ursuline Academy | 2025 State #74 Nation TX , Ursuline Academy (Texas), Fr. — Talk about an impact freshman! Bryant netted Ursuline Academy’s first three goals and assisted on the fourth for the nationally ranked program.
D Courtlyn Cook Courtlyn Cook D Guyer | 2024 TX , Denton Guyer (Texas), So. — Controlled the back line, made several 1v1 plays to prevent shots on goal, slowed down their dynamic offense multiple times but stepping to win the ball and the 1v1.

M Sisley Stephens Sisley Stephens M TX , Denton Guyer (Texas), Sr. — Scored Guyer’s goal and was a dominant player all over the field. She had several big plays in the middle to slow down the opponent’s attack and even more plays to set up Guyer’s.

M Carys Torgesen Carys Torgesen M TX , Marcus (Texas), Jr. — Torgesen had a goal and two assists to pace Marcus’ offense.
