Golden sticks: Presenting the 2021 All-Main Line field hockey teams

It was a banner year on the Main Line high school field hockey scene, with Episcopal Academy and Conestoga leading a strong pack of local squads.
The Pioneers (22-2) captured the Central League championship and the PIAA District 1 3A title, then advanced to the PIAA 3A state semifinals; while the Churchwomen (20-1) captured their third consecutive PAISSA tournament title and second straight Inter-Ac championship.
Other successful Main Line high school field hockey teams included Academy of Notre Dame (15-6 overall, 8-2 Inter-Ac), Merion Mercy Academy (16-6, third place in District 1 3A tournament), Radnor (14-4-1, second place in Central League), Villa Maria Academy (20-4, District 1 2A runnerup, PIAA 2A state quarterfinalists), Archbishop Carroll (15-7) and Shipley (11-5 overall, 8-1 Friends’ Schools League).
The All-Main Line high school field hockey teams are selected by the coaches. Because Main Line Media News covers 19 high schools, the Main Line Media News sports staff limits the number of sports available to first team, second team and honorable mention – but follows the priority of the coaches’ selections.
