Coach of the Year
Diane Miller, Lake Braddock
Bruins' coach won her seventh Northern Region championship with a 2-0 win over Westfield. Miller, with an early-season tournament win over Eastern View, became the 37th coach in field hockey history to record 400 all-time wins. In 28 seasons as a member of the coaching staff, Miller has guided Lake Braddock to 18 Patriot District Championships.


Player of the Year
F Hayley Katzenberger, Sr., Holy Cross
Katzenberger's blazing speed helped Holy Cross capture the WCAC championship over Elizabeth Seton. She scores two goals in the title game -- 11 on the season -- and will play lacrosse next year at the University of Florida.





First-Team All-Beltway

MD Mary Beth Barham, Sr., W.T. Woodson
Barham, a scrappy midfielder, was named to the All-Northern Region first-team this season. She is an absolute sniper on penalty strokes. Barham scored the game-winning stroke in overtime against defending region runner-up Oakton early in the season and flipped two strokes past the McLean goalkeeper in the Liberty District championship, a 3-0 Cavalier win.

MF Reagan Beasley, Sr., Great Mills
Beasley scored 17 goals and notched seven assists to lead Great Mills to a second consecutive Maryland 3A South championship. She also earned recognition as the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference Most Outstanding Player this season.

F Georgina Beven, Jr., Walter Johnson
Beven was one of Montgomery County's biggest scoring threats. She notched 17 goals and nine assists this season, helping the Wildcats reach the region finals.

GK Amanda Crider, Sr., Marshall
Crider has been recognized in various all-state and all-area publications since her freshman season. Playing goalkeeper in the Liberty District -- where the last three Northern Region Players of the Year have come  -- Crider saved 88-percent of shot attempts and recorded seven shutouts in her senior year. In May, she committed to play at the University of Virginia.

MF Maya Herm, Sr., Walt Whitman
A U.S. Futures Elite player, Herm notched 15 goals and six assists as a midfielder this season. She scored game-winning goals in two playoff games this year.

F Brooke Lee, Sr., Quince Orchard
With the help of midfielder Alissa Peterson, Lee scored 15 goals this season. She also dished out 14 assists for the Maryland 4A runner-ups.

MF Catherine Mirsky, Sr., Bethesda-Chevy Chase
Mirsky notched 16 assists for the Barons, who reached the Maryland 3A state playoffs largely because of her consistently stellar play.

MD Shelly Montgomery, Jr., W.T. Woodson
Montgomery burst onto the Northern Region scene with a game-winning, double-overtime goal as a sophomore in the Liberty District championship game, a 1-0 win over previously unbeaten Langley. In her junior season she was named co-Region Player of the Year, scored six goals and added six assists. Montgomery is a natural-born leader that's favored to repeat many of her individual honors as a senior.

MF Katelyn Nolan, Sr., Patuxent
Nolan, a former Southern Maryland Athletic Conference Player of the Year, will play collegiately at Towson. She scored 11 goals and assisted on 16 more to lead Patuxent to its second consecutive, undefeated SMAC championship season and a second straight Maryland 2A South title.

MD Annie Stephens, Sr., Lake Braddock
Stephens, the co-Northern Region Player of the Year, is being courted by universities across the country. She scored 12 goals and dished out 10 assists for a Bruin team that began the season 18-0, won both the Patriot District and Northern Region titles and advanced to the Virginia AAA state semifinals.

D Kirsten Wilburn, Sr., Forest Park
Wilburn led the Bruins to their fourth consecutive Cardinal District title. The senior captain finished the season with 13 goals and seven assists.
