Cuneo heads all-S.J. field hockey

PLAYER OF THE YEAR / FORWARD

Austyn Cuneo

EASTERN

Cuneo made history in high school field hockey, destroying records left and right as the nation's leading career goal-scorer with 328 and adding 94 assists. This season, the senior scored 95 goals for the Vikings, leading them to their 16th straight state championship. She never lost a game or went scoreless in her high school career, winning four straight Tournament of Champions titles and helping extend Eastern's unbeaten streak to 106 games.

Cuneo walked onto the field knowing she would be man-marked for the entire game, but she refused to lose focus on scoring and leading her team to success. Her dominant presence and rocket shot were an unfair match for any goalie, making it a huge task to save one of Cuneo's shots.

While her natural talent spoke for itself, her leadership was just as impressive. She served as a role model for other players and demanded that they give maximum effort. She will attend North Carolina and play field hockey.

FORWARD

Jane

Donio-

Enscoe

HAMMONTON

With 57 goals and 19 assists this season, Donio-Enscoe led Hammonton to a 21-1 record and a shot at the South Jersey Group 3 title. Donio-Enscoe smashed her school's career goals record of 71 with 122. That brought the record back to her family, as her mother once held the mark with 55 goals. The senior will continue her career at Princeton.

FORWARD

Mackenzie

Keegan

EASTERN

As a young member of Eastern's dominant offensive line, the sophomore contributed 36 goals and 13 assists this season. Her speed and skillful stickhandling allowed her to drive up the wing and score a goal in every regular-season game but one.

She is a member of the under-17 national team.

GOALIE

Becca

Hall

COLLINGSWOOD

The senior was the backbone of Collingswood this season, with an impressive 102 saves. She helped lead the Panthers to the Colonial Conference championship, aggressively coming out of the cage to stop attackers and reading the ball with ease to make significant saves. Hall more than doubled her number of saves from the previous year, giving her a career total of 196.

MIDFIELD

Kelly Hanna

OCEAN CITY

Hanna distributed the ball, worked gives-and-gos, and went back and forth on offense and defense. She contributed 24 goals and 27 assists to the Red Raiders as a senior. She has two state Group 3 titles and will continue playing at Rutgers.

MIDFIELD

Jane

Hatzell

COLLINGSWOOD

Hatzell often was overshadowed by the numbers put up by dominant players in the area, but her solid defensive presence led Collingswood to a 20-4 record. The senior captain was not a high scorer, but was easily one of the hardest-working players in South Jersey. She consistently threw her body into plays, refusing to allow attackers to get past her.

FORWARD

Julie Duncan

SHAWNEE

Duncan led the Renegades to a 14-5-1 record with 29 goals and 13 assists this year, despite having missed her junior season because of a broken foot. She displayed remarkable speed paired with impressive stick skills to spark the Shawnee attack. She is a member of the under-19 national team and plans to play in college for Maryland.

DEFENSE

Lauren McNally

OCEAN CITY

The senior led Ocean City to two consecutive state Group 3 titles, collecting 31 goals and 25 assists this year. Although her team lost the state final in overtime, she recorded a hat trick. The ability to play the entire field allowed her to be one of the best defenders in South Jersey. The under-17 national-team member will continue her career at Penn State, her parents' alma mater.

MIDFIELD

Madison

Morano

EASTERN

The junior was a key addition to Eastern's offense, scoring 26 goals and adding 23 assists this year. She was a playmaker in the midfield, consistently looking to feed the ball to an open player and getting back for defensive support. She is a member of the U-19 national team and undoubtedly will be relied on to step up again for the Vikings next year.

FORWARD

Nikki Santore

EASTERN

Santore had a breakout junior season in her first year of starting on varsity for the Vikings, scoring 53 goals and leading the team with 37 assists. Santore had worked hard in the offseason to secure her spot on the field. She is a well-rounded player, always aware of getting back on defense to help her team.
