Homa, a forward, led the state with 45 goals in 21 games this season while helping Gorham reach the South regional final.
The other finalists were goalie Ella Lemieux and defender Brynn McKenney of state champion Cheverus/Windham, forward Rosie Panenka of Yarmouth/Freeport, and defender Anna Molloy of the Penobscot Pioneers.
CHEVERUS/YARMOUTH 5, MT. ARARAT 0: Owen Walsh opened the scoring just 32 seconds into the game, Andrew Cheever and Brady Martin each added two goals, and the top-seeded Stags (15-2-2) advanced to the Class B South semifinals with a quarterfinal win over No. 8 Mt. Ararat/Lisbon/Morse/Hyde (1-17-1) at Troubh Ice Arena.
Cheever also assisted on the first goal, as Walsh put in the rebound of his own shot.
Cheever made it 2-0 midway through the second period while the teams were skating 4-on-4. His second goal, unassisted, came with 6:16 remaining in the game.
Martin then was credited with an unassisted short-handed goal after Mt. Ararat put the puck in its own net. Just 22 seconds later, Martin tacked on another goal.
The Stags advance to play fourth-seeded Greely on Saturday, again at Troubh.

It was the 14th straight victory for the Kings (16-3), who will play third-seeded York in the semifinals Saturday at Troubh Ice Arena in Portland. The teams split two regular-season games, both by 4-3 scores.
The Kings also got a goal and three assists from Brody Emond, and a goal and two assists from Luke Gladu. Nick LeBrasseur was the other goal scorer.
Ben Urban scored for Kennebunk/Wells (4-12) in the second period.
