Senior
Jessie Wohner (Norfolk, Va.) was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Skyline Championship Tournament, after she led all players with eight points on seven goals and one assist. Equally impressive to what her offensive stats were, Wohner also played a huge role in preventing clears for the Rams, as she caused a career-high seven turnovers and also scooped up five groundballs.
Junior
Jaqui Sheedy (Baltimore, Md.) finished with four goals and one helper and had a game-high six draw controls, while classmates
Jenna Turrentine (Kennesaw, Ga.) and
Julia Coughlin (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) both added two points apiece – Turrentine with two tallies and Coughlin with one goal and one assist.
Junior defender
Meghan Malone (Crofton, Md.) also added a third-quarter goal after a groundball, quick clear and give-and-go of sorts with sophomore
Kaitlyn Latchaw (Phoenix, Md.). They rounded out the Mariner scorers. Junior goalie
Hope Germanakos (Lynbrook, N.Y.) made four saves for the victory.
For the Rams, juniors Marina Zumbrunn and Jasmin Brown both found the back of the net, with sophomore goalie Ronnie Reilly making 15 saves and leading all players with six groundballs.
