Girls Soccer: All Main Line Teams

Conestoga (16-3-4 overall) finished second in the Central loop, and placed third in the PIAA District One AAAA tournament. Haverford (15-4-1 overall), Harriton (9-7-1), Lower Merion (9-8-1) and Radnor (7-7-3) completed a strong Central League field from the Main Line, as the Fords and Rams qualified for the PIAA District AAAA tournament, and the Red Raiders advanced to the PIAA District AAA tourney.

The All-Main Line high school girls’ soccer teams are selected by the coaches. Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of spots available to first team, second team and honorable mention — but follows the priority of coaches’ selections.

The following players from the Central League were named to the All Main Line teams.

FIRST TEAM

Hannah Morgan, Conestoga – Junior center back was runner-up for Central League MVP, was named all-state by the Pennsylvania Soccer Coaches Association, and was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association All-Region team. Was key factor in Pioneers giving up only 15 goals all season, with 10 shutouts. Has committed to play at Providence.
Caitlin Donovan, Conestoga – Freshman forward was a prolific scorer for the Pioneers, was unnanimously voted as Conestoga’s offensive Most Valuable Player, and was called by head coach Ben Wilson, “One of the best natural strikers I have ever seen.”

Filippa Graneld, Harriton – Sophomore center mid was first team All-Central League selection, and tallied 11 goals and dished out seven assists in 17 games. Considered a dynamic player and scoring threat who is able to beat players one-on-one, and is extremely skilled with the ball.
Brianna Blair, Haverford – Senior outside back, a first team All-Delco and All-Central League selection, was the Fords’ MVP, scoring six goals and helping the team earn 14 shutouts. Her long throw-ins were difficult to defend, setting up numerous scoring chances. Will continue her career at Cabrini.
Amelia Durfee, Haverford – Senior forward, a first team All-Delco and All-Central League selection, was the Fords’ offensive MVP, scoring 10 goals and dishing out six assists. Also contributed to the Fords’ sterling defensive record (14 shutouts).
Julia Utkus, Lower Merion – Senior defender and captain, was the Aces’ Most Valuable Player. A first team All-Central League pick, she was moved to center defender this fall and was the anchor and leader of the Lower Merion defense.
Maura Holst, Radnor – Senior midfielder, a first team All-Delco and All-Central League selection, scored 11 goals in 17 games. The Fordham commit and two-time All-Delco selection’s clutch goals late in the season got them into the District One 3A tournament.

Harriton – Morgan Rees, junior forward; Reilly Short, sophomore defender.
