All Delco Field Hockey

First Team

Caroline Boornazian, Haverford: It’s not often that a sophomore leads a team in goals, but that’s exactly what Boornazian did for the Fords. The forward/midfielder scored 18 times and was one of three players on the team with double digits goals. She also had two assists to earn first-team All-Central League honors. Yet she was more than just a finisher. He stick skill drew many penalty corners for a team that went 17-4 overall, 10-1 in the Central League and the No. 4 seed in the District 1 Class 3A playoffs. Boornazian scored at least one goal in 13 games.

Katie Capalbo, Strath Haven: Capalbo had quite a career for the Panthers. She was a four-year starter and a three-time first-team All-Central League selection. As a senior, the Villanova-bound forward scored 17 goals and handed out 13 assists to pace Strath Haven to the quarterfinal round of the District 1 Class 2A tournament. She scored the first goal as the Panthers beat Harriton, 3-1, in the district playoffs to avenge a loss to the Rams during the regular season.

Sydney Corcoran, Haverford: Corcoran was the driving force behind a team that went 10-1 in the Central League for the second year in a row. The only loss was to Conestoga. Her play at center midfield was critical to Haverford’s drive to the quarterfinal round of the District 1 Class 3A tournament. Corcoran led the team in assists (nine) and finishing third in goals (10). However, she was far from a one-dimensional player. The junior also turned in strong defense when she was asked to play center back on a few occassions. She is headed to Old Dominion.

Kay Walker, Strath Haven: The senior goalkeeper was the backbone of a defense that powered the Panthers to the quarterfinal round of the PIAA District 1 Class 2A tournament. She had a save percentage of 88.0 and made 16 stops as Strath Haven avenged a loss to Harriton in the regular season with a 3-1 triumph over the Rams in the second round of the district tournament.
