Presenting 2016 All-Main Line girls’ soccer team

The Main Line high school girls’ soccer season featured a variety of strong teams this fall in the Central League, Inter-Ac and Friends’ Schools League.

Haverford (15-4-1 overall), Harriton (9-7-1), Lower Merion (9-8-1) and Radnor (7-7-3) completed a strong Central League field from the Main Line, as the Fords and Rams qualified for the PIAA District AAAA tournament, and the Red Raiders advanced to the PIAA District AAA tourney.
Episcopal Academy (14-6-1, 9-3) finished second in the InterAc; and Baldwin School posted a program-best 17-7 record, going 10-0 in non-league games and advancing to the PAISAA state semifinals.
Shipley (10-6-1 overall) captured the Friends’ Schools League championship, and Friends’ Central posted a 6-1-1 record in the FSL. Among local AACA squads, Villa Maria Academy (11-8) enjoyed a winning season and advanced to the PIAA District One AAA tourney semifinals.
The All-Main Line high school girls’ soccer 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 spots available to first team, second team and honorable mention — but follows the priority of coaches’ selections.
