Matthew Ralph
The recruiting season officially kicks off on Wednesday for the class of 2024. Here's a look at some of the top girls in Eastern Pennsylvania who should be getting calls.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25917" first="Madison" last="Shumate"], Forward, Penn Fusion Academy/Downingtown East</strong>
Shumate's skill with the ball, dribbling, passing and vision going forward is off the charts, but I've also been impressed with her defensive ability as well. She doesn't take plays off and can beat you in so many ways, it makes her an ideal fit at the next level for teams that emphasize ball hunting and high pressure.

Koschineg is a holding midfielder who has incredible instincts and timing in challenging opposing attackers. She's the type of player who never leaves a grass field with a clean jersey and has a motor to cover a ton of ground.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="45376" first="Ava" last="DeGeorge"], Midfielder, Philadelphia SC Coppa Rage/Archbishop Wood</strong>
DeGeorge is a silky smooth midfielder who sees the game on a higher level than most of her peers. She's also an assassin on dead balls and is good at sharing the ball and the type of player who makes teammates around her better when she's on the field.

Vogel has a great touch on the ball and is dynamic in her ability to make runs with and without the ball and also put defenses under pressure. She has a nose for goal and can poach but she puts herself in good positions to do so.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25990" first="Selah" last="Koleth"], Midfielder, Penn Fusion Academy/Radnor High School</strong>
Koleth was a big weapon for Radnor High School in their run all the way to the state final last fall, where she flashed her skill in a losing effort. Koleth is a challenge to mark because of her athleticism but she is at times more cerebral than flashy, consistent in her contributions even if she isn't showing up on the scoresheet.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="35570" first="Lily" last="Fusco"], Midfielder, FC Bucks/Agnes Irwin School</strong>
Fusco is at her best when she's running at players and has a knack for frustrating defenders with her movement and strength. She's also a clinical finisher with a blistering right foot.
