Field Hockey All Delco Teams

Congratulations to the following field hockey players from the Central League who were named to the All Delco teams.

First Team

Alex DeCain, Radnor: Just a sophomore, DeCain already is a two-year starter for the Raptors and a two-time, first-team All-Central League selection. A tough, aggressive player, she spearheaded an attack that powered Radnor to a third-place finish in the Central League and the District 1 Class 2A tournament, which earned the Raptors their first trip to the PIAA playoffs since 2009. DeCain led Radnor with 33 goals and 11 assists and was named as one of the top 100 players to watch in the Class of 2025 by Max Field Hockey.

Riley Gallagher, Garnet Valley: A four-year varsity starter who did not come off the field for the Jaguars. The senior midfielder played mainly on the right side but did see some time on the left side. Earned first-team All-Central League honors for the third year in a row and also first-team Class 3A All-State recognition. Gallagher was the primary hitter on corners and finished the season with 10 goals and 10 assists to lead the Jags to a second-place finish in the league. She has committed to play field hockey at Temple.

Alana Poole, Garnet Valley: Drexel is getting a good one in Poole. The senior and three-year varsity performer was a rock in the cage to help the Jaguars (16-4, 10-1 Central League) finish second in the league behind perennial heavyweight Conestoga. Poole posted a 0.61 goals against average during the regular season and a 77 percent save rate. She was even better in the postseason, stopping 87 percent of the shots sent her way in the District 1 Class 3A tournament. Poole finished the season with an overall save percentage of 80.73, stopping 88 of 109 shots.
