Fall 2022 Preview: D1 Minnesotans

The 22 season is upon us and that means our second year of covering Minnesotans playing D1 across the country. Equal Time has more coverage of the women's game than ever. After a history making summer of soccer with MN Aurora and the WPSL (shout out Salvo SC), we are back with a busy fall. You will find Gopher and St Thomas specific coverage by Matt and Isa, and NSIC updates from me as well. But what makes writing about Minnesotans playing D1 unique is the shear scale of talent and players we have to cover from this great state!

Last year we asked you to help us compile a roster of every Minnesotan playing at a D1 across the country. With your submissions and my hours spent on google, by the end of last year we had 145 confirmed D1's! Our goal is to have a database of sorts to highlight all of Minnesota's "exported" talent. Aside from simple stat updates, we try to provide snapshots of the many individual awards and team accomplishments like the squad of Minnesotans winning the Summit League with South Dakota State last year (seen above).

We will also continue to bring you player and coach interviews like the one I did this summer with Maya Hansen and Rachel Preston. For us to find new players to cover and new stories for you to hear, we could use your help! It can be especially tough to find all the new freshmen players, so if you know of a player or coach who didn't show up on our list, submit them into our google form and I'll confirm them for the next piece.

Players to Watch

Picture

​Meredith Haakenson
Michigan was picked to finish 3rd in the Big Ten this year after a run to the NCAA Final Four last year. A big piece of that success is midfield stalwart Meredith Haakenson. Haakenson enters her graduate Senior year with 4 years and dozens of games on her resume. The Maple Grove native has impressed since her sophmore year and has 16 goals and 11 assists on her stat sheet. She will play a big part in Michigan's follow up season to their impressive run in the tourney. See our interview with her from last fall below!
Ansley Atkinson
Flash back to last fall, 9 games into the season. Ansley Atkinson was leading the nation in assists with 9 in 9 games. She does a full ACL and is lost for the season in heartbreaking fashion. With a full winter and spring to recover, Creighton will hope to see the dynamo that was getting a dime a game last year. No doubt she will ease into full action but with a year timetable the post season should be prime for one last dance from Atkinson with the Blue Jays. See our interview with Ansley from last fall below (prior to injury)

Who's got the most Minnesotans?
We can't say these teams are the MOST Minnesotan, but there's some definite trends with the talent spread from Minnesota soccer. Yes, geography plays a role, but sometimes a program becomes a hub for a club or region, and we routinely see clusters of players from Wayzata or the south suburbs for example. Since we've got the rough data, who's got the most Minnesotans?

ST THOMAS - 21
NDSU - 13
U OF M - 11
WISCONSIN - 8
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE - 7
UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA - 7
UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA - 5

St Thomas is majority MN by far, NDSU continues their trend with a couple new recruits, Wisconsin continues to poach, and the Gophers up the MN a bit with Head Coach and Wayzata native Erin Chastain. The good news for these Minnesota heavy programs is that they are easily streamed! Check out ESPN+ expanded College Soccer listings for a least a couple Gopher games. The Summit League with the Dakota schools and St Thomas is very easy to stream for free. We will look to plan and to publicize stream parties when there's paywalls or easy gathering spots!
