A closer look at the area's top players

Chelsea Rota, forward, Neshaminy, senior.

Rota formed one half of a Redskins scoring duo with Marlaine Schneider. Rota ended the season with 13 goals and 10 assists for 36 points.

Sera Berlacher, forward, Villa Maria Academy, senior.

Undoubtedly one of the area's best clutch players, Berlacher had the knack of coming up with the big goal when it was needed. She finished the season with 23.

Julia Reinprecht, forward, Mount St. Joseph, senior.

The youngest of the highly regarded Reinprecht sisters, Julia was named to the Pennsylvania all-state team. She also was named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association all-American team.

Marlaine Schneider, forward, Neshaminy, senior.

Schneider contributed eight goals and 14 assists for the Redskins (20-1-1), who won their eighth consecutive Suburban One League National Conference championship this season.

Deanna DiCroce, forward, Central Bucks West, senior.

DiCroce was among the leading point-getters in the Suburban One League Continental Conference. She had 13 goals and six assists for 32 points. The Bucks finished third in the conference.

Adelle Lever, midfielder, Wissahickon, senior.

The Michigan State-bound Lever, the Inquirer's player of the year, was also named the player of the year in the Suburban One League's American Division. She led the Trojans (18-5) as they rebounded from a disappointing 8-13 mark in 2007.

Rachel Magerman, midfielder, Germantown Academy, senior.

Magerman, a first-team all-American, has been named to the U.S. Olympic Development team and the Futures Elite team. She has committed to North Carolina.

Sarah Hasson, midfielder, Central Bucks South, senior.

Hasson was a key to the Titans' transition game. According to coach Meg Hutchinson, Hasson provided many intangibles for the Titans, who reached the PIAA Class AAA Final Four in their first trip to the state playoffs.

Tori Lindsey, midfielder, Methacton, senior.

Lindsey was a four-year starter for the Warriors, who won the Pioneer Athletic Conference title this season, their first year in the league. She scored three goals in the title game and is expected to play for James Madison next season.

Julia Goldsworthy, back, Central Bucks South, senior.

Goldsworthy was a big reason the Titans finished 20-4-1 in reaching the state AAA Final Four.

Molly Murphy, back, Villa Maria Academy, senior.

A first-team all-state selection, Murphy was a key reason the Hurricanes won the District 1 Class AA crown. She had nine goals and four assists.

Jenna Phillips, goalie, Hatboro-Horsham, senior.

Phillips, who has committed to play for Drexel, was named to the NFHCA all-American team. She was the centerfielder on the Hatters' 2007 state championship softball team.
