The four categories offer different views of early-season impact:
That separation matters. A player can rank highly for points without leading either the goals or assists table, while a goalkeeper’s contribution is measured through saves rather than attacking production.
Statistics must be entered by 22:00 on the night before publication to qualify for the update, the report says. Figures submitted after that cut-off may not appear until a later list.
As a result, an omission should not automatically be interpreted as a lack of performance. It may reflect a late submission, a different recording date or incomplete communication between a school and the database.
The tables also cover only the period included in this update. Individual schools may hold broader season totals that are not yet reflected in the published leaders.
Teams, coaches and athletic directors are responsible for ensuring match statistics reach the database. The report says staff do not enter figures unless they are covering a match in person, increasing the importance of accurate school-level reporting.
Anyone who believes a player has been missed should contact their team’s coach or athletic director. The next update will offer another chance for late submissions to be included and for the freshman girls soccer picture to become clearer.
