Boston 2021 Preseason All-Metro Girls
In this article:
Thanks to the New England Prep schools, specifically the ISL teams, the Boston area is one of the most talented all-metro areas in the country.
Of course, it was a bit tricky naming this year’s group since the Preps did not hold a season last year and the state association schools played an abbreviated schedule with no state playoffs. Still, it’s easy to ID many of the top projected players since so many have committed to major college programs.
FORWARDS: Senior Sam Suplee Sam Suplee F Buckingham Browne & Nichols | 2022 MA is part of a Buckingham Browne & Nichols program that is simply loaded. In fact, it very well could be the best overall high school team in the nation. Supplee, who played a role in the team’s 2019 NEPSAC Class A title, has committed to Michigan. … If BB&N doesn’t have enough firepower in the attack with Supplee, add in Virginia commit Meredith McDermott Meredith McDermott F MA , and it’s easy to see why this is the preseason No. 1 prep team. … North Andover senior Emma Wennar Emma Wennar F North Andover | 2022 MA had a three-goal outburst in the team’s win over rival Andover last fall. The Clemson commit was a Boston Herald and Boston Globe All-Scholastic selection in 2020. … Tabor has had a storied run of forwards in recent years, and junior Isabella Garces will be asked to fill that role in 2021.
MIDFIELDERS: Danvers senior Arianna Bezanson scored 22 goals and added six assists to help the squad to an 11-0 showing in 2020. She has committed to Colgate. Bezanson was a Boston Herald and Boston Globe All-Scholastic pick in 2020. … Whitman-Hanson senior Olivia Borgen Olivia Borgen M Whitman-Hanson | 2022 MA had a modest nine goals and eight assists last season while leading the team to the Patriot Cup semifinals. Borgen has committed to Penn State and was a Boston Herald All-Scholastic pick in 2020. … Buckingham Browne & Nichols senior Sarah Sullivan Sarah Sullivan M BBN | 2022 MA has committed to UPenn. She did not have a 2020 season. … Thayer Academy senior Brooke Mulroney Brooke Mulroney M Thayer Academy | 2022 MA helped Thayer to its first-ever ISL title in 2019, and now as a senior will be key if the team can make another run at the league title.
DEFENDERS: We’ll take some liberty here with Molly Martin Molly Martin D MA . The Penn State commit is one of the nation’s top seniors. She’ll likely see a lot of time in the midfield for BB&N, but has played defender, as well. In either case, she’s been an impact player since her freshman year and that should continue in 2021. … Tabor Academy senior Claudia Rogers will be counted on to keep this team in the playoff hunt. In recent years, Tabor has been known for its offensive prowess, thanks to players such as Cat Berry (South Carolina) and Jaydah Bedoya (UConn). But now it might be time to lean on the defense with Rogers.
GOALKEEPER: Noble and Greenough junior Eliza Teplow is touted as the top returning keeper in 221 despite the ISL not playing last school year.
