ORLANDO - UCF freshman forward Tyra Eriksen and redshirt-freshman transfer Carli Crews have been named to Top Drawer Soccer’s Postseason Top 100 Freshmen Rankings, as announced by the organization.
Eriksen, who hails from Umeå, Sweden, was ranked at No. 58 on the midseason edition of the list, and has now moved up two spots to No. 56 following the conclusion of the 2025 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship.
Crews, a redshirt-freshman transfer from Memphis, sees herself at No. 90 after postseason play.
In 2025, Eriksen produced an efficient freshman season, starting 17 and playing in all 21 games for the Black and Gold. She scored her first collegiate goal in a 3-1 victory over Florida Atlantic on Aug. 17, which began a three-match run where she had a goal or assist.
In her next two games, the Swedish winger assisted Ella Holloran’s opening score in UCF’s 4-1 rout of in-state rivals USF, and Gabi Berchon’s late winner to claim a 2-1 victory against SEC foe LSU.
On the other side of the ball, defender Crews earned her recognition from an outstanding freshman campaign where she started 13 games and appeared as a substitute in four more, logging 1234 minutes on the season.
The High Point, North Carolina native helped her team to nine shutouts from six starts, including a 0-0 draw against No. 2 Tennessee. The American center back helped her Memphis team advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, playing 90 minutes in a 2-1 victory over Illinois in the first round.
Eriksen and Crews are two of more than 10 players to make the list that currently represent Big 12 programs.
