from floridatoday.com:

"Three of five leading soccer experts have rated North Carolina's Ashlyn Harris the No. 1 goalkeeper heading into today's 10 a.m. Women's Professional Soccer Draft in Philadelphia.

The former Satellite High star, coming off of her third NCAA title, is picked first by Paul Kennedy of Soccer America, Dan Lauletta of Womensprosoccer.com and Mark Rogondino of Fox Soccer Channel. Two other experts, Scott French of The Soccer Magazine, and Graham Hays of ESPN.com have her second and fourth, respectively.

Penn State's Alyssa Naeher and Southern Cal's Kristin Olsen were the other two top-rated goalkeepers.

The draft consists of seven rounds and 65 picks overall as the two expansion teams, the Atlanta Beat and Philadelphia Independence, each received an extra selection at the end of the first round.

Harris' teammate, midfielder Tobin Heath, is expected to be selected first by Atlanta. One mock draft has Harris going in the second round to the Washington Freedom."
