• Taryn Johnson, sophomore, Sequim: All-Olympic League First-Teamer led the area in scoring with 24 goals and eight assists.
• Ava Shiflett, sophomore, East Jefferson: “Literally the smallest player in the league but big on energy and drive. She was a terror for opposition defenses, every coach commenting on how dangerous she was. The color of her shins by the end of the season proved how defenders considered her a problem, multiple bruises and scrapes decorating her legs. Led the team in goals and assists, with 10 and 7 respectively,” coach Robert Cantley.
• Catie Brown, senior, Port Angeles: Led Riders in assists with eight and also added four goals less than a year after tearing her ACL. Second-Team All-Olympic League pick.
• Kaylen Pray, East Jefferson, junior, forward/midfield: The other half of our forward line with speed and trickery, she came up with some of our clutch goals when we needed her. A natural finisher but also a confidence player, when she feels good she’s unstoppable. Ended the season with 9 goals and 4 assists.
Keira Johnson, sophomore, Forks: Picked up the game for the first time this fall and the natural athlete promptly scored a hat trick. Also spent time as goalkeeper for Spartans. Second-Team All-Pacific League pick.

• Iris Mattern, sophomore, East Jefferson: “Heart of the team, integral to building our attacking play as well as covering defensively. Definitely the most intelligent player, boy or girl, that I’ve ever coached. Weighed in with three goals and four assists but those numbers don’t tell the story of how she was behind most of our goals, often assisting the assist,” — coach Robert Cantley.

She was on track to be our top assist provider before her injury,” — Cantley.

• Kaia Lestage, sophomore, Sequim: A genuine ball-stopper as offensive attacks disappear when Lestage arrives on the scene. Excels at heading the ball away from danger and tracking down and clearing loose balls. Second-Team All-Olympic League.
• Izzy McCracken, junior, East Jefferson: “The heart of our defense, possesses good recovery speed and in-game intelligence. Dramatically improved throughout the season. Excelled at the center of a back three defense which we switched to early in the season. Really owned it despite being unfamiliar with the formation. A huge reason why we conceded fewer goals over the season than any previous year,” — Cantley. Honorable mention All-Nisqually League.
• Miley Blanton, freshman, Forks: Earned Spartans’ MVP award after moving to defense and anchoring the team’s strongest line. A Second-Team All-Pacific League selection.

• Savannah Hoffman, senior, East Jefferson: “Selflessly volunteered to spend her senior year in goal when no one else wanted to take on the position. Proved adept and a quick learner, made the kinds of mistakes one would expect from a novice, but was overall brave and committed, a real leader and competitor. Ended the season with five clean sheets as well as managing three goals and an assist when games allowed for her to play on the field,” — Cantley. Second-Team All-Nisqually League.
