34 South Bend-Area Girls Soccer Players to Watch in 2026

Marian brings championship production

The report names five Marian players after the team won the IHSAA Class 2A state title. Kendall Bradley, listed as the team’s leading scorer with 19 goals, and Milana Micola, who scored twice in the state final against Park Tudor, headline the group.

The supporting numbers point to strengths at both ends. Frances Bradley recorded 69 saves, while Grace Hanyzewski contributed three goals and nine assists. Olivia Micola also earned recognition for her defending. Marian’s challenge will be to turn that individual production into another cohesive title run.

Goshen and the wider field

Goshen is among the most represented teams. The report says Jiana Camacho led the RedHawks with more than 11 goals and helped them finish 6-1 in conference play. Destiny Sanchez, Lourdes Baltazar, Nereida Arriaga and Sydney McLaughlin also received conference recognition.

Other players arrive with eye-catching returns: Claire Huber of La Porte is credited with 28 goals and four assists, while Karsyn Bogard led John Glenn with 24 goals. At Northridge, Adelynn Miller scored 12 goals, and the team went 7-0 in conference play, according to the report.

The next test

The list offers a useful snapshot, but preseason recognition is only a starting point. For Marian, the focus is whether its championship contributors can sustain their form; for Goshen and the other contenders, it is whether individual production translates into results across a full schedule. The opening stretch of the 2026 season should show which names quickly become central to their teams’ ambitions.
