Ann-Marie Ritzell
Wootton, 3rd year
Charged three years ago with turning program from also-ran to county powerhouse. This year, molded team in her aggressive style and burst through to win first regional crown. Lost state semifinal by smallest margin for a county girls team at states.
Alex Aust, Bullis, Jr., M
Most dynamic scorer in Bullis’ dymanic offense. Five times this year scored five or more goals in game, and helped Bulldogs to 14-2 record and place in ISL AA semifinals.
Monica Baumgartner, Good Counsel, Soph., D
Sophomore sensation showed ability to play whole field, scoring four times from defense. But it was clamping down opposition that landed her on Mid-Atlantic Region first team.
Angela Biciocchi, Churchill, Jr., M
Bulldogs’ most potent offensive weapon had 58 goals and 25 assists from midfield. Nose for goal led to playoff upset of Sherwood and helped Churchill to regional semifinal appearance.
Grace Dinn, Holy Cross, Sr., M
Committed to play at St. Joseph’s (Pa.), was steadying influence in midfield for Tartans. Helped Holy Cross thwart opponents charges to net and reach WCAC semifinals.

Barons’ leading scorer was consistent weapon. In quarterfinal against Blair, provided capstone of her career, scoring five goals in one game for the third time in season.
Lucy Hayes, Holton-Arms, Sr., M

Liza Kaplan, Wootton, Sr., A
Patriots’ second-leading scorer netted 40 goals and added 21 assists because of quick, slashing forays to net that served as change-of-pace to Klatzkin. Scored twice in state semifinal.
Hayley Katzenberger, Holy Cross, Sr., M
Repeat first-teamer because of prowess around net, as Tartans’ second-leading scorer, as well as ability to play whole field. Often dropped back to mark opposition’s most potent attackers.
Liz Kubis, Sherwood, Sr., M
Defender-turned-midfielder led Sherwood in goals, with 43, and forced turnovers, with 20, showing all-around skills. Plans to walk on at Bucknell (Pa.).

Offensive juggernaut led Cougars with 78 goals. Due to skill around net, Quince Orchard lost just once during regular season and made it to 4A⁄3A North Region semifinals.

An ISL AA Division first-team selection, led Bulldogs’ defense, saving more than 60 percent of shots taken against her. Will play at Colgate next year.
