Player of the Year

JULIE GARDNER Severna Park

A multi-talented midfielder, the junior brought a little bit of everything to the state 4A-3A state champions. Gardner showed off slick moves in the arc and finished with 50 goals, including four in the Class 4A-3A state title game, a 13-9 win over Dulaney. Small but slippery, Gardner also proved key on controlling the draw and dished out 15 assists.

A prolific scorer against the best teams, Gardner had five goals in the Anne Arundel County championship game victory over Broadneck and three more in the regional final over the defending champion Bruins.

Coach of the Year

RENIE SOTIROPOULOS Severn Starting out with a young team, including two freshman goalies, the Admirals opened the season 5-6, but Sotiropoulos helped them improve game-by-game. She made major changes in the offense and convinced the players they had more potential than they thought.

By A Conference tournament time, the No. 6 Admirals were ready for anything and upset then- No. 2 and heavily favored McDonogh, 10-9, in the semifinal. They fell to John Carroll, 10-9 in overtime, in the title game, but that couldn't diminish a 9-2 late-season run that improved their final record to 14-8.
