All Delco Field Hockey Teams

Congratulations to the player from the Central League named to the All Delco teams.

First Team

Barb Civitella, Radnor: An injury cut her season short, but that did not stop the Duke-bound midfielder from having an outstanding senior year. A force all over the field, Civitella possessed the speed and ball-handling skills that made her difficult to defend. A first-team All-Central selection, Civitella was the energy player that made the Raiders go. She collected 10 goals and two assists to help Radnor go 15-2 in the regular season, including a 10-1 mark in the Central League.

Olivia Kingsborough, Garnet Valley: The Jaguars were one of the stingiest teams around, allowing just 0.83 goals against, and the senior was one of the reasons for that defensive prowess. She teamed with Claire Wolfe to form one of the top back lines in the area. She was the flyer on a defensive penalty-corner unit that allowed just seven goals in 100 attempts. Kingsborough also made five defensive saves to help the Jags go 21-2 overall, 18-0 in the regular season and win its first Central League championship with an 11-0 mark. A first-team All-Central League selection, Kingsborough will play lacrosse at Boston University.

Bridget Lowry, Radnor: Lowry teamed with Civitella to form one of the more potent midfields in the county. She helped control the tempo on both offense and defense and was a key member on offensive and defensive penalty corners. Lowry scored nine goals, including one overtime winner, and handed out five assists. She also recorded one defensive save. A first-team All-Central choice, Lowry will continue her field hockey career at Division I power Louisville.

Dana Mirigliano, Springfield: With Mirigliano leading the way, the Cougars finished 10-5-1 and 7-4 in the Central League, good for fourth place. An outstanding center mid, her ability to make the transition from defense to offense allowed her to lead Springfield in scoring the last two years and earn first-team All-Central honors both seasons. She will play both field hockey and lacrosse at Lock Haven.

Tina Rawa, Garnet Valley: As strong as the defense was, Garnet Valley’s offense was just as formidable thanks to Rawa. Just a junior, she posted 17 goals and 12 assists for a team that averaged better than four goals per game. The Drexel commit and two-time All-Central League selection came up big in the most important games. She set up Wolfe’s goal in overtime to give Garnet Valley its first trip to the PIAA tournament with a 1-0 victory over C.B. East in the playback round of the District 1 Class 3A tournament. She then scored the winning goal as the Jags topped Souderton in overtime, 1-0, in the fifth-place game.

Claire Wolfe, Garnet Valley: One look was all you needed to see just what a dominant player Wolfe was for the Jags from her center back position. She controlled play in front of the net and quickly turned those defensive stops into offensive opportunities. Wolfe spearheaded a defense that allowed just 19 goals in 23 games (0.83 average) and guided Garnet Valley to its best season in program history. The Jaguars went 21-2, 18-0 in the regular season, claimed their first Central League championship with an 11-0 record and earned first trip to the PIAA tournament. She had the goal in overtime to clinch the state playoff berth. Wolfe made one defensive save and scored six goals. She will play field hockey at Cornell.
