Harriton’s Emily Stewart is Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week

Stewart, a senior midfielder and captain, has been a key factor in the Rams’ success this season – as of May 20, the Rams had clinched a spot in the PIAA 3A state girls lacrosse tournament and as the top seed in District 1, were headed to the district semifinals Tuesday. She has scored 37 goals in 19 games, won 84 draw controls and collected 70 ground balls. Outside of Harriton, Stewart was a part of the Quaker City Lacrosse Club for six years and played on the Philly Team in the National Tournament in 2016 and 2017. Harriton girls’ lacrosse head coach George **** said, “Emily has been not only a great player for us for the last four years but she has been an incredible role model for the other girls on the team as well as all the girls she has coached in the Lower Merion Girls Youth Lacrosse and Quaker City Club team program. She is one of the most humble and considerate girls we have ever had in the program. She is always offering to help out the team in any way she can whether getting the balls from Coach D’s truck or water for the team. Despite a very good year last year, she worked hard all summer and fall and is arguably our most improved player this year. We need more Emilys!”
