USA Lacrosse High School Girls' Players of the Week

The USA Lacrosse Players of the Week recognize the most outstanding individual performances in high school girls’ lacrosse in each of the five regions — Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest and West — outlined in our high school coverage.

NORTHEAST

Maddie Lyle, Somers (N.Y.)

Maddie Lyle excels in the things that don’t usually end up in the box score. After all, that’s the life of a defender. The Somers (N.Y.) senior was instrumental in a 10-9 double overtime win over Bronxville (N.Y.) with two ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers. The second caused turnover led to Somers regaining possession and then scoring the game-winning goal.

On Senior Night, the Wofford College commit scored a goal and had a pair of ground balls in a 17-7 victory over Mahopac (N.Y.) and then had three ground balls and two caused turnovers in a tight 13-9 defeat to John Jay-Cross River (N.Y.).

Also notable: Madison Alaimo, Wantagh (N.Y.); Kylee Colbert, North Shore (N.Y.); Kelly Haggerty, Sacred Heart (Conn.); Megan Kenny, St. Anthony’s (N.Y.); Amy Villanueva, Bronxville (N.Y.), Carly Wise, Saratoga Springs (N.Y.)

MID-ATLANTIC

Darby Campbell, Oak Knoll (N.J.)

Darby Campbell will play field hockey at Georgetown University next fall, but she’s making the most of her final spring lacrosse season at Oak Knoll. The senior midfielder had three goals and three assists in an 11-9 win over Summit (N.J.) for the Union County Tournament championship. The win avenged an earlier loss to Summit. Campbell also had five goals and two draw controls in a 14-5 win over Westfield (N.J.) in the tournament semifinals. Campbell has 32 goals and 19 assists through 12 games this year. She surpassed 100 career goals in the win over Summit.

Also notable: Regan Byrne, Glenelg Country (Md.); Sienna Chirieleison, Trinity (Pa.); Noel Cumberland, Maryvale (Md.); Erin DeStefano, Springfield-Delco (Pa.); Lainey Staub, Archbishop Carroll (Pa.); Lauren Steer, St. Paul’s (Md.)

SOUTH

Maddie Stevens, Bartram Trail (Fla.)

Bartram Trail's potent offense was held in check in the state championship versus St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.), so it was up to the defense and goalie Maddie Stevens to keep the Bears ahead. Stevens made 17 saves in Bartram Trail's 5-4 championship victory, including two from point-blank range in the final seconds. In Bartram Trail's 13-6 semifinal win over, Stevens had five stops. The junior is committed to Colgate.

Also notable: Ryann Frechette, Bartram Trail (Fla.); Harper Jones, Anderson (Texas); Victoria Tomonto, American Heritage Delray (Fla.); Charlotte Myers, Harpeth Hall (Tenn.)

MIDWEST

Tia Boyle, Loyola Academy (Ill.)

Since returning from Colorado, the Ramblers are on quite a run. It isn’t just that they’ve won seven straight, mostly against elite competition. It’s that they held said tough competition — Wellesley (Mass.), Thayer Academy (Mass.), Hinsdale Central (Ill.), New Trier (Ill.), New Albany (Ohio), Mother McAuley (Ill.) and Upper Arlington (Ohio) — to single digits. How did Loyola hold all seven to single-digit scoring? Having a keeper like Tia Boyle sure helps, with the keeper’s heroics including 11 saves against the Golden Bears.

Also notable: Corinna Hilmas, Olentangy Liberty (Ohio); Gianna Kurelko, Benet Academy (Ill.); Emily Moes, Lakeville South (Minn.); Addie Shevitz, New Trier (Ill.); Tori Tomalia, Carmel (Ind.); Kate Tyack, Dublin Coffman (Ohio)

WEST

Katie Brosseau, Camas (Wash.)

The junior midfielder and draw specialist had a career night in a 24-13 win over Tahoma (Wash.) last week, tallying 13 goals, six assists and 17 draw controls. Then, she added nine goals and four assists and 19 draw controls in a 26-6 win over Klahowya (Wash.). The Wofford College commit leads the state with an impressive 95 goals, 46 assists (141 points) and 129 draw controls while helping Camas to an 8-3-1 record.

Also notable: Alexa Lang, Colorado Academy (Colo.); Megan McDevitt, Grant (Ore.); Mikayla Young, Foothilla-Santa Ana (Calif.)
