All-Central Girls Soccer: Conestoga’s Morgan MVP; Penncrest gets three nods
Conestoga and Penncrest shared the Central League title in 2017 with matching 10-1 marks. But on the individual account, Penncrest comes out on top with three representatives on the All-Central team, as voted by league coaches.
Senior striker Corryn Gamber joins a pair of juniors, defender Sarah Hughes and goalkeeper Bryn McLaughlin, on the All-Central team. Gamber has 22 goals this season for the states qualifiers in Class 3A, while McLaughlin and Hughes have contributed to a Lions defense that has surrendered just six goals in 20 matches. Junior Carly Dunford, who injured her knee against Conestoga and is out for the season, is on the second team.
One of those goals conceded was scored by Conestoga sophomore forward Caitlin Donovan, who lands on the first team. Her teammate, senior Hannah Morgan, was voted the All-Central MVP. Emily Wertz, also injured in the 1-0 Stoga win over Penncrest Oct. 10, earned second-team recognition.
A pair of freshman make the first team, with Lower Merion’s Maya Masotti and Strath Haven’s Maggie Forbes chosen. Also on the first team are: Haverford’s Annalena O’Reilly, Harriton’s Morgan Rees, Garnet Valley’s Kamryn McNeal, Springfield’s Olivia Little, and Radnor’s Jenna Spray.
The All-Central team is chosen by nomination and voting from league coaches. The Daily Times and PaPrepLive have no input in the process.
