<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Florida girls' lacrosse has blossomed remarkably in the last few years, with programs emerging all around the state. Some members of the younger generation found themselves advancing in the ranks last season. As Florida's season starts its gears, there are five players that should be on every person's watch list. The athletes range from unnoticed talents in the class of 2029 to committed 2027's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["46928"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a4cae80a8cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 2027 Saint Andrew's midfielder racked up solid stats last season, leading the state of Florida with 109 overall goals. Virtue drives down the field really successfully. She has a strong and accurate shot after perfecting it over her nine-year period as a player.  Virtue has locked down a Division 1 commitment to the Virginia Cavaliers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["46923"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a4cae80aaea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As a 5-star committed to UNC, Switter has found herself among the best nationally — attending American Heritage. The 2027 midfielder has become known for her dodging on the field as she outsmarts the opposing goalie. She has a defensive eye that turns to offense during fast interceptions. Switter has a tendency to overtake competitors while attending one of the best Florida lacrosse schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["70971"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b709db90708"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mandishora is a younger player representing the 2029 class at Berkeley Prep as a goalie. While still in 8th grade, she grabbed third place in Florida's save percentage leaderboard with a 79.3% behind two 2025's. Mandishora shows promise with a year of varsity lacrosse already under her belt. The freshman commands the cage with the agility that many older players have yet to master. Despite her young age, Mandishora is a player to look out for. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["70972"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b709db9079b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Archbishop McCarthy is home to 2028 midfielder Ava Valdiveso. She has honed her skills since kindergarten and represented her heritage at 13 when playing for the Peruvian National lacrosse team. Valdivieso is aggressive when in possession of the ball, taking on multiple players at once and plowing through. She has shown great promise during the first games Archbishop McCarthy has played - managing eight goals in a single game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["70973"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b709db90814"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yale will be welcoming home Saint Andrews' goalie after graduating in 2027. Alise has spread her expertise over to her club team at Florida Select Lacrosse, throwing with her dominant left hand. The 2027 goalie saves shots with precision while playing against national teams over the summer. Alise has strong hand-eye coordination. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
