Hannah Glover, South Western, sr.: The senior goalie capped a career with 500 career saves after being a four-year starter. "Incredible force in that cage," South Western coach Holly Long said.

Paige Taylor, Red Lion, sr.: A senior captain, Taylor scored 13 goals and had four assists. She will play field hockey next year at York College. Coach Carol Gillmen said Taylor's speed and stick work from the wing helped set up scoring opportunities for the Lions.

Sydney Tomassini, Gettysburg, sr.: She led the Warriors in scoring, setting the school's single-season scoring record with 25 goals. The previous record was 20. She also added five assists. The left wing continued to play through a quadriceps injury late in the season during Gettysburg's run to the YAIAA tournament championship.

Coach of the Year

Janelle Ebaugh, Gettysburg: Ebaugh guided the Warriors to the YAIAA tournament title in their first year as a league member and Ebaugh's 10th year as head coach at Gettysburg.

About 14 hours after Gettysburg's players had returned home from their semifinal victory, they took the field and defeated Central York, 4-2, to become the first team other than the Lions and Wildcats to win the league title.
