Bri Harnois, Attleboro

A three-year varsity starter, the ju-

nior Harnois showcased both the ability

to score goals while also

setting up teammates for

offensive chances of their

own. Harnois was named a

Hockomock League All-Star

and an Eastern Massachu-

setts Second Team honoree

Briley Harnois

following her 11-point season on 10 goals and one assist.

"She is a confident player that rises up

and wants the game on the line with a

penalty kick, free kick or critical corner,"

Attleboro coach Steve Santos said of the

Bombardiers' captain-elect.

Hailey Goodman, Bishop Feehan

The Shamrock senior captain had an exceptional ability at setting up teammates, specifically as she ran down the flank and unleashed threatening crosses into the box. Goodman concluded with 37 points on the season (10 goals and 27 assists). Her mark in assists reset the program record for most in one season. "She never stopped attacking and continued to put defenders on their heels," Feehan coach Phil Silva said of Goodman, a three-year starter who tallied double-digits assists for three consecutive seasons.

Ashley Kelly, Bishop Feehan

The Shamrocks finished the season with 12 shutouts, three of which came against some of their most difficult opponents during their MIAA Division 1 title run. The senior center back was a main reason behind that. "Her with the other three backs made up what I would consider the best backline in the state this season," Feehan coach Phil Silva said of Kelly, who he credited for stepping up her game come tournament time. Kelly was a physical presence who consistently broke up an attack before it could get started.

passes," Feehan coach Phil Silva said of Moskal, the springboard for the Shamrocks offense with a pair of teammates that were dynamite on the attack. A first-time Sun Chronicle All-Star, Moskal was relied upon heavily during the Shamrocks title run.

Annie Pearl, Bishop Feehan

The sophomore center back was a key reason why the Division 1 State Champion Shamrocks were able to hold three different opponents without a goal in the postseason tournament. Pearl had the whole package on the backline as she possessed a strong, physical skill that helped knock forwards off the ball while still having the ability to keep up with opponents' speedy strikers. "She was tremendous in the air and difficult to beat one-versus-one," Feehan coach Phil Silva said of the first-time Sun Chronicle All-Star.

Grace Robison, Bishop Feehan

A first-time Sun Chronicle selection, the Shamrock sophomore consistently made the game difficult for opposing midfielders due to her speed and stamina in the middle of the pitch. Robison was a force on the offensive end as she finished third on the team in goals (seven) and second on the team in assists (12). "She had an unparalleled work ethic, constantly up and down the pitch," Feehan coach Phil Silva said of the midfielder on the unbeaten (23-0-1) Division 1 State Champion Shamrocks.

Francesca Yanchuk, Bishop Feehan

"In my opinion, she is the best finisher in the state," praised Feehan coach Phil Silva of Yanchuk, the Shamrock junior

striker, who is already the program's all-time leader in goals scored. Yanchuk eclipsed the century mark with 41 goals this season along with seven assists. Possessing the foot skill needed to take defenders off the dribble, Yanchuk always had a perfectly-placed shot to go along with it. She netted game winners in the Division 1 South Sectional win over King Philip and state title game against Westfield.

Meghan Reed, Dighton-Rehoboth

A three-year starter for the Falcons, the senior goalkeeper played her best on the backline when the pressure was on, especially the past two the MIAA Tournament runs. "Meg is so successful in net due to her athleticism and intelligence," Falcon coach Trish Madsen said of the captain, who recorded eight shutouts, the most important in a postseason clash with Archbishop Williams. A first-time Sun Chronicle All-Star, Reed is a three-sport athlete for the Falcons as she takes part in basketball and spring track.

Julianna DaCosta, Dighton-Rehoboth

"She has a nose for the goal and is super crafty with the ball at her feet," D-R coach Trish Madsen said of the team's three-year starter and captain. DaCosta founds ways to score despite opponents throwing double or even triple teams in her direction, which she showcased as she finished with 28 points on 20 goals and eight assists for the 14-win Falcons, who reached the Division 3 South Sectional quarterfinals after a first-round win. DaCosta is a three-sport athlete, competing in winter and spring track.

Jordyn Collins, Foxboro

The Warrior junior striker was focal point No. 1 for opposing defenses in the Hockomock League. Collins possessed both the speed and strength to win a race for the ball, or carry it on her feet as she sprinted down the flank. Collins was among the top point scorers in the Hockomock (26) as she finished with 23 goals and three assists. "She is so strong on the ball and can take on any defender," Foxboro coach Katie Stalcup said of the All-Hockomock selection. Collins is a multi-time Sun Chronicle All-Star.

Lizzy Davis, Foxboro

The senior captain was an offensive weapon whether she was in the midfielder or serving as a striker. And with a rocket of a shot, the All-Hockomock selection was responsible for a majority of free kicks. "She is very competitive and has a strong desire to win," Foxboro coach Katie Stalcup said of Davis, who finished with 16 points on 10 goals and six assists. Davis is a firsttime Sun Chronicle All-Star and three-year varsity contributor for the 16-win Warriors, who repeated as Davenport Division champions.

Sydney Kofton, Bishop Feehan

The Shamrock rookie was a pleasant addition for coach Phil Silva as Kofton played far beyond her years in her first varsity experience. A tireless and physical defensive midfielder, Kofton was able to win the defensive battle on the ball all while disrupting opponents' attack with her soccer IQ and ability to see two passes ahead. "She plays the position as well as any player Feehan has had," praised Shamrock coach Phil Silva of the first-time Sun Chronicle All-Star, who was influential on the defensive end.

Lindsey Moskal, Bishop Feehan

A junior midfielder for the Division 1 State Champion Shamrocks, Moskal was most impressive in the transition game with a strong soccer IQ and ability to read what the defense was giving her on the pitch. "She would win the ball and consistently find her teammates' feet with
