Ranked No. 3 nationally in the Class of 2028 by Prep Girls Lacrosse, Holden is considered the top goalie recruit in the class for a reason. Her confidence is extraordinary, her reaction time is incredibly fast, and her positioning makes scoring against her feel like an accomplishment. She remains composed, rarely falls for fakes, and constantly communicates with the defense in front of her.

Holden’s size and strength complement her quick reflexes, allowing her to cover the cage and make saves that look like they belong on a highlight reel. Throughout the summer, she consistently performed like the best goalie on the field, regardless of the competition.

Murphy Holden Murphy Holden 6'2" | Goalie | Right Hand Pingree School | 2028 #3 Nation MA continues to prove why she belongs at the top of the Class of the 2028 goalie rankings. Every time she steps into the cage, she somehow finds another level, and the Committed Games were no exception. Holden attacks every save with confidence, exploding in cage with incredibly quick feet and lightning fast hands that allow her to rob shooters from every angle. Whether the shot is headed high or low, she stays composed, rarely falls for fakes, and consistently puts herself in perfect position to make the stop. Her 57% save percentage speaks for itself, but her impact goes far beyond the stat sheet. She is fearless coming off her line, making attackers earn every inch around the crease while constantly disrupting offensive opportunities outside the cage. Holden also gets the ball out immediately after saves, delivering fast, accurate clears near midfield that ignite transition momentum. She communicates exceptionally well, directing her defense throughout every possession and serving as the backbone of the unit. Against the nation’s top talent, Holden once again looked every bit like the premier goalie in the Class of 2028.

Holden flies from pipe to pipe. Makes the most unbelievable saves. Every time I watch Holden play, she impresses me more and more. Out of all the goalies in the Class of 2028, Holden might have the quickest reflexes and hand movement. Another great outing from the top goalie in the Class of 2028.

She stays light on her feet and is always ready to react, using her length to cover angles while remaining quick across the crease. Holden is an all-around goalkeeper who is not afraid to challenge shooters or step outside the net when needed.

She anticipates shots well and stays calm under pressure, whether facing tight looks in front or shots from distance. Her athletic versatility translates into a confident, steady presence in goal.

The 6’2” goalie is super athletic and one of the best high school goalies I’ve seen. Holden has an extremely high ceiling at the college level. The Laxachusetts product comes out and meets players on the crease. She can make any save and tracks the ball so well. When a player shoots it low, Holden drops extremely quickly. She makes saves from the outside and inside on the crease. Her cross-body, opposite stick side saves are impressive. A truly fun goalie to watch.
