By the way Mia Bhuta is on the spring roster. https://gostanford.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster  Seems pretty certain she's coming back. Though it is theoretically possible she could still be lured away by a good pro offer.

The players not on the spring roster who seemed to have remaining eligibility are as follows:

Shae Harvey MF Junior, signed with Portland Thorns FC (NWSL)
Maryn Wolf Fwd Junior, Transferred to South Carolina (she had been a starting forward in the past but didn't play at all this past season due to injury)
Freya Spiekerkoetter Def Redshirt Junior, possibly graduated as she has "stanford wsoc ‘26" on her Instagram header (played only 210 minutes this past season, mostly at the end of blowouts)
Alyssa Savig GK Junior Status unknown but she still has "@stanfordwsoc 2027" on her Instagram header (Stanford's 3rd string GK this season, played only 86 minutes)

So all together Stanford did a really good job holding onto its key returners. Harvey turning pro is the only major loss as of now.

- Bhuta back would obviously be enormous.
- Harvey leaving does hurt, but if Bhuta is staying MF is by far the deepest position. It does show soccer NIL isn’t enough to stop players from going pro. I think we all knew that, but Harvey’s choice reinforces the point that soccer isn’t football or basketball.
- Wolf hurts a little for depth. For me she is a lot like Lumi - decent player but not a difference maker on a top team. She should get a lot more minutes at South Carolina. She fit the team style better than Lumi did though. She Definitely was a useful backup for us.
- and yes Savig and Freya were not going to play any meaningful minutes. I assume Freya graduated in any case.
