Oregon’s top high school girls soccer players: Meet the state’s best goalkeepers

By René Ferrán

This week, we’re taking a position-by-position look at some of the top players in Oregon high school girls soccer. Our first list focuses on the goalkeepers.

How the lists were compiled: Coaches were contacted and encouraged to nominate players for these lists. Many coaches declined to respond; thus, these lists are not comprehensive. Let us know about any other players you think should be added.

G Katelynn Balsiger, St. Mary’s (Medford), Sr.

Balsiger was the District 5 goalie of the year and a 3A/2A/1A all-state honorable mention selection last fall, leading the Crusaders to the district title and a spot in the state quarterfinals. Coach Martin Nelson noted that if she wasn’t so valuable in net, he’d move her to striker. “She has a great touch and finish,” he said.
