Natalia Retke Natalia Retke 5'8" | Goalie | Right Hand Bishop Gorman | 2028 NV is an athletic and fearless goalie whose quick reactions allow her to make saves that many players at her position cannot. She tracks the ball extremely well, recovers quickly, and plays much bigger than her size. Retke gets low, maintains strong positioning, and confidently steps into shots instead of waiting for the ball to reach her. She is especially effective against low shots, using her feet and legs to deflect difficult attempts while putting her body on the line to protect the cage.

Retke’s impact continues after she makes the save. She sees the field well and gets the ball out quickly, helping her team immediately transition into the clear. Her movement, consistency, and confidence allow her to regularly produce stellar plays in the cage. Retke remains an underrated prospect, but her complete skill set and ability to perform under pressure deserve significant recognition from college coaches.

From Las Vegas, Nevada, the Southwest goalkeeper was one of the best netminders at New Balance All-America this weekend. She already has a tall frame but plays even bigger, cutting down angles with quick hands and sharp reactions that allow her to go cross-body and make difficult saves. Her IQ on the clear is exceptional. She gets it across quickly when she needs to and is plenty comfortable coming out of the cage to get the clear started on her own, consistently making smart decisions under pressure. Retke wears her confidence well and does not lack in that department. You will never have trouble finding her on the field, either; the dual braid out of the helmet is one of the most signature looks of the summer.
