While one netminder falls out, two goalkeepers jump into this edition’s top 50. Luis Barraza and Paulo Pita have shined for their respective programs after featuring in the 2018 PDL regular season. Barraza, who played for Chicago FC United this summer, has made 16 saves and recorded a 0.49 goals-against average in four starts for Marquette this campaign. Pita, meanwhile, has recorded 19 saves and a 0.96 goals-against average through six games with Marshall.

The Top College Prospects list features the top 50 college-based individuals who have competed in the 2018 PDL campaign. The list will evolve over the course of the fall, with biweekly updates allowing players to raise their stock and earn recognition based on their collegiate play.
