Names You Need to Know for Each Team in High School Girls' Top 25

We unveiled the USA Lacrosse High School Girls’ Preseason National Top 25 on Wednesday. Now let’s take a deeper dive on each of the teams that are nationally ranked going into the 2025 season.

1. St. Anthony's (N.Y.)
2024 record: 19-0

The Friars are coming off a magical undefeated season and graduated a generational talent in Tess Calabria. But St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) isn’t ready to give up their spot atop the mountain. Julia May O’Connor (Syracuse) is the anchor defensively, Molly Hiney (Johns Hopkins) will be instrumental on both sides of the ball with her athleticism and composure, while Katherine Rathjen (Florida State) and Emma Speed (Florida) led the line offensively. And juniors Anna Christie (Northwestern) and Cameron Pupke (Princeton) will also play key roles.

2. St. Paul's (Md.)
2024 record: 16-5

The Gators came on strong to win their third IAAM title in four years. Goalie Susan Radebaugh (Florida) is the biggest loss for a team that has a lot of its stars back. Marleigh O'Day (Clemson), Riley Vasile (USC), Caroline Hoskins (Florida), Sofia Herrera (Maryland) and Maggie Porter (Penn State) are seniors with big-time winning experience. Defenders Lilly Schwing (Boston College) and Colleen Lorden (Florida) give St. Paul’s solid defense in front of the new goalie, either Kylee Keenan (Charlotte) or Liv Moag (Pittsburgh). If their trend continues, the Gators will be tough to beat in May.
