As the college soccer season carries on, there are plenty of storylines around New England worth tracking.

Yale, for the first time since 2005, is trending towards a possible Ivy League championship. New Hampshire, led by a veteran-heavy team, continues to climb the national rankings and could make a third straight NCAA tournament appearance. And Boston College, even with injuries to key players, could make some noise in the ACC.

Here are 10 local players who are turning heads and showing what New England soccer is all about. They're included below in alphabetical order, and many are products of the Development Academy system.
