There is some correlation showing callers players being Defender while mid-fielders and strikers being shorter.
However, I think the average height of female college soccer players in the US is a function of how amateur sports operates here in the US rather than it being a function of how the sport actually is. Athletic girls tend to be more physically gifted and participate in more variety of sports during middle or high school, and thus these more physically gifted girls tend to form the majority of soccer players.
I would say Athletically gifted. Athletes who perform at a higher level are a higher level of athlete. Rec players are athletes. Olympians are athletes.
The college game is a very physical game. Strength matters. If you're shorter, timing and leverage must be learned. College recruiters like height because height equals volume and volume equals mass.
However, a shorter player, while lacking height, can compensate with strength and leverage.
Height is not everything. Crystal Dunn played for North Carolina and she is only 5'1. These are average numbers, but a talented player can make it even if she is 5'1.

I was intrigued by the post so I went through D1 conferences to see the makeup of keepers. I went through the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big 10 and Pac 12 rosters to gather the data. Not all teams had updated Freshman stats, specifically the conferences that have postponed their fall schedules. The total number of keepers I could get stats on totaled 193. Here is the breakdown….
Average height overall was 5’9”
Average height for ACC (inches): 69.025
Average height for SEC (inches): 68.756
Average height for Big 12 (inches): 69.263
Average height for Big 10 (inches): 69.305
Average height for Pac 12 (inches): 69.029
The only conferences that I tracked stats on that are currently playing are the ACC, SEC and Big 12. Here are the average heights of starters.
Average height of starters
ACC: 5’ 9½“
SEC: 5’ 9”
Big 12: 5’ 10 ¼”
Total number of keepers below 5’7” was 16 which represents less than 10%, 8.3% to be exact, who have been recruited by these D1 schools.
The shortest keeper overall is on the roster at UCLA at a height of 5' 3".
Okay. Keepers are tall. What exactly do you want? Starting to sound a little obsessed. Are you trying to drive home a point?
