Conestoga’s Sophie Koziol is Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week

A senior and three-year starter in central midfield, Koziol has played a key role in the Pioneers winning consecutive Central League titles and a District 1 4A Championship, and qualifying for the PIAA AAAA State Tournament twice, including a trip to the PIAA 4A state final last fall. This year, she bounced back from a torn ACL suffered in the PIAA 4A state final last fall and has been a key factor (tallying three goals, five assists in nine games, takes most of the team’s corners and close-range free kicks) in leading the Pioneers to the Central League tournament semifinal. Last fall, she received All-Central League, All-Main Line and Daily Local News All-Area honors. Her father, Joe Koziol, played midfield for the Villanova University men’s soccer team from 1987-1990. Off the pitch, Koziol participates in the Key Club at Conestoga.
