Zoe Avery, Morse senior midfield: While the young Shipbuilders develop as a team, Avery will be an anchor on both ends of the field. The all-KVAC Small School second-teamer used her strong field vision and anticipation to record the most assists and second-most goals on the team in 2024.

Makenzie Beal, Brunswick senior defense: A first-team all-KVAC Large School defender, Beal will be a reliable leader on Brunswick’s back line. She forced 16 turnovers for the Dragons last year.

Hailly Curtis, Freeport senior goalie: Defense will be a major focus for the Class B runners-up, and the buck stops with Curtis, who saved over 100 shots in an all-WMC honorable mention campaign last year. She is committed to play at the University of Southern Maine.

Lana DiRusso, Freeport senior attack: A Varsity Maine All-State selection last spring, DiRusso led the Falcons with 65 goals scored. She also added 23 assists, 71 draw controls, 37 ground balls and 17 caused turnovers. She is committed to play at Endicott.

Ella Duchette, Brunswick senior midfield: Duchette brings experience and playmaking ability to the Dragons’ midfield, having gained eight draw controls and 25 ground balls last year.
