The junior, in her first season as the Cavaliers' ace, closed out a fine season with near-flawless play last week that led Spalding to the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference championship. In Sunday's 6-0 championship win over Institute of Notre Dame, she was in complete control, striking out 11 in a one-hitter. She also executed a squeeze bunt to drive in the game's last run. In Thursday's 5-0 semifinal win over defending conference champ Seton Keough, Nescio retired the first 14 batters and finished with a one-hitter.

Others considered // Ally Carey, John Carroll, lacrosse; Jenna Cimino, Hereford, track and field; Anna Demaree, River Hill, track and field; Kourtney Salvarola, Broadneck, softball.
