Analyst Sheehan Stanwick Burch breaks down her top 10 NCAA prospects who could hear their names called on May 20th.
1. Rachel Clark, A, Boston College
Rachel Clark, the ACC Attacker of the Year from Boston College, is one of the most dynamic offensive threats in women’s lacrosse. With 91 goals and 21 assists, she combines elite production with a versatile skill set. Clark has the ability to create her own shot, using her size and stick skills to dominate in one-on-one situations. A powerful dodger with excellent field awareness, she can post up defenders or attack from the perimeter with equal effectiveness. Her release point is quick and deceptive, making her nearly impossible to stop when she gets a step. Simply put by her college coach Acacia Walker, "Rachel Clark was born to score goals."
2. Anna Brandt, M, Penn
Anna Brandt is the definition of a true two-way midfielder and the 2024 Ivy League Midfielder of the Year. With 48 goals, 45 draw controls, and team-leading totals in ground balls and caused turnovers, she impacts every phase of the game. Brandt is fast, fiercely competitive, and shifty with the ball—able to dodge with either hand and shoot through traffic. She doesn’t need much space to get her shot off and relentlessly works to get open. Whether she's taking the draw, sparking transition, or scoring under pressure, Brandt is a complete midfielder who elevates Penn on both ends of the field.
3. Ashley Humphrey, A, UNC
Ashley Humphrey is the nation’s leading playmaker, topping the charts with 70 assists to go along with 28 goals. A beautiful and deceptive feeder, she has an elite feel for timing and placement, threading passes through tight windows to set up scoring chances. While known for her vision and creativity, Humphrey is also a dangerous scorer who needs very little space to get her shot off. Her dual-threat ability makes her one of the most dynamic and unpredictable attackers in the country.
4. Erin O'Grady, G, Michigan
Erin O'Grady is an elite goalkeeper with a 53.6% save percentage and a 9.0 goals against average. A two-time Big Ten Goalie of the Year (2024, 2025), O'Grady is known for her lightning-fast reflexes and her composure in high-pressure situations. Her ability to make crucial saves when it matters most has been instrumental in Michigan's success.
5. Ashley Mackin, A, Johns Hopkins

She’s known for her lightning-quick release and highlight-reel shot selection, consistently scoring jaw-dropping goals from all angles, including backhanded finishes that leave defenders and goalies stunned. Mackin brings flair and unpredictability to the field. She’s a natural scorer with a fearless style and elite finishing touch.
6. Chase Boyle, M, Loyola
Chase Boyle is a dominant two-way midfielder and the 2024 Patriot League Midfielder of the Year. With 74 goals, 7 assists, and an incredible 204 draw controls, she consistently drives her team’s success on both ends of the field. Boyle is a powerful dodger from up top who can create her own shot and finish from range. She brings a relentless motor, sharp instincts, and physicality, racking up 19 caused turnovers while leading transition play. Whether winning the draw, setting up in the midfield, or ripping a shot from the outside, Boyle is a complete and game-changing presence.
7. Jane Hansen, D, Northwestern

8. McKenna Davis, A, Boston College
McKenna Davis from Boston College is a true quarterback of the offense, Davis has racked up 24 goals and an impressive 67 assists, showcasing elite vision and a pass-first mentality. She’s especially dangerous operating from behind the cage, where her deceptive stickwork and ability to thread passes through tight windows set her apart. While she thrives as a feeder, Davis is also a legitimate scoring threat, capable of highlight-reel finishes thanks to her creative release angles and poise under pressure.
9. McKenzie Blake, A, Princeton
McKenzie Blake from Princeton and the 2024 Ivy League Attacker of the Year, is a powerful lefty scorer with 73 goals, 7 assists, and 45 draw controls on the season. At 5'9", she’s a dominant inside threat and Princeton’s all-time leading goal scorer, known for her ability to find space, seal defenders, and finish with precision. Blake plays with great poise and fluidity, using her body and stick creatively—dropping levels, shifting angles, and picking the right shot in tight spaces. She thrives off feeds, has a strong presence around the crease, and consistently punishes defenses with her smart, physical play.
10. Fallon Vaughn, M, Yale
Fallon Vaughn from Yale is a dynamic, do-it-all midfielder. Vaughn brings versatility and high-level production to the field with 43 goals, 26 assists, 35 draw controls, and 19 caused turnovers.
