All-Southeastern Pa. Girls’ Soccer First Team

November 30, 2011

 

Midfielder/Player of the Year

Stevi Parker, Pennridge

Parker will be playing for South Carolina next season. A four-year starter, she was the engine that made the Rams go. She scored 38 goals as Pennridge reached the PIAA Class AAA championship game before losing to defending champ Peters Township.

 

Forward

Emily Market, Villa Joseph Marie

Like teammate Erica Petrone, Market was the victim of a broken leg last season. But she came back this year to score 19 goals for the Jems, who made it all the way to the PIAA Class AA championship game. The senior's output helped the Jems outscore opponents 109-7.

Forward

Erica Petrone, Villa Joseph Marie

The senior was part of the Jems' one-two scoring punch this season, along with Emily Market. Petrone returned this season after suffering a broken leg last year. She finished with 21 goals as Villa Joe posted a 25-1 record and advanced to the PIAA Class AA championship game before losing to Mars, 1-0.

 

Forward

Kelsey Celline, Archbishop Wood

Celline, a senior, led the Catholic League-champion Vikings in goals with 34, one fewer than the single-season school record she set last season. She had 89 goals in her high school career. Next year, she will play for La Salle University.

 

Forward

Paige McDowell, Council Rock South

A junior, McDowell helped lead the Golden Hawks to a 15-5-1 record and the championship of the Suburban One League National Conference.

 

Midfielder

Gina DiTaranto, Strath Haven

This four-year starter could do it all for coach Gino Miraglia. DiTaranto was the Panthers' leading goal-scorer in all four of her seasons at Strath Haven. She had 40 goals this year as the Panthers (17-4-1) reached the state quarterfinals.

 

Midfielder

Kelly Kerrigan, Downingtown East

Kerrigan is a repeat selection on The Inquirer's All-Southeastern Pennsylvania team. A senior playmaker, Kerrigan will take her game to James Madison next fall. She was Gatorade's Pennsylvania player of the year last season.

 

Midfielder

Salina Williford, Conestoga

Williford often can bring the crowd to its feet with her moves with the ball. She formed one of the strongest midfields in the area along with Maddie Swarr and Julianna Bradley. All are juniors.

 

Back

Lindsay Horst, Central Bucks West

When it comes to versatility, there aren't many better than Horst. A senior, she has played all over the field but prefers defense. She served as the first three-time captain in West girls' soccer history.

 

Back

Lexi Mazur, Strath Haven

Mazur was a four-year starter for the Panthers. This year, she was part of a defense that yielded no goals in winning the Central League championship with an 11-0 mark. Strath Haven gave up nine goals overall this season.

 

Goalie

Krissy Welsh, Strath Haven

Welsh, a junior, has been a three-year starter for Strath Haven. This season, she recorded 14 shutouts for the Panthers, who went unbeaten in Central League play to win the league title. Opponents scored only four goals against her.
