Hannah Morgan, Jr., Conestoga

Morgan was runner-up for the Central League MVP and named to the all-state team. Anchored a defense that allowed 15 goals all season with 10 shutouts.

GOALKEEPER Morgan O’Loughlin, Downingtown West

Backstopped the Whippets to a co-Ches-Mont National title. A strong positional goalie, she was a first-team All-Ches-Mont selection. “Morgan sets the tone in goal,” Downingtown West coach Mary Schanne said during the districts. “She keeps everything organized in the backfield that allowed us to keep our shape, play through the midfield which sprung our attackers that led to scoring opportunities.”

COACHES OF THE YEAR Paul Lehman and Kevin Eppler, Westtown

The Moose completed a historic season with the school’s first PAISAA crown. They survived a loss in the Friends School League semifinal before getting on a roll. Led by scoring sensation Sara Oswald and and goalie Natalie Neumann, the Moose were strong at both ends of the field as a 10-1margin in the state tournament attests to. “We learned how to win, how to play to win,” Lehmann said. “We were playing not to lose in the second half of the Shipley game. We let the moment of a big game overwhelm us, but it was the best thing that could have happened to us . ... A young team could decide to pack it in after a loss like that. “Instead, they really came together.”
