2016 will be a year to remember for Louise Metz ’17 and the Doane Stuart girls soccer team. On the heels of the most successful season in team history, four of our student-athletes received awards at Sunday night’s Section 2 Banquet held at the Marriott on Wolfe’s Road.
Earning awards this year were seniors Louise Metz of Troy and Sarah Stapleton of Nassau, junior Antonia DiPreta of Clifton Park and seventh grader Hannah Esslie of Cairo.
Louise was selected to the Class D All-Section Team, named 2nd Team All-State, and also received the Class D Goalie of the Year Award. Louise’s accomplishments this year are worthy of high praise: she was one of only three girls selected to All-State from Class D. Even more impressive, however, is the fact that this is Louise’s first year in goal: she traditionally plays defense.
Louise is the third Doane Stuart goalie to be named to the All-State team: Kelly Burr ‘00 was 5th Team All-State in her senior year, and Kendra Thomson ‘07 earned 2nd Team All-State her senior year.
Antonia’s strong play on the field led to her selection to the Class D All-Section Team, as well as recognition as a CHVL (Central Hudson Valley League) 1st Team All-Star.
Sarah and Hannah were also named 2nd Team CHVL All-Stars. For Hannah, this is all the more impressive as she is a seventh grader playing her first year of varsity soccer.
Congratulations to Louise, Sarah, Antonia and Hannah on their awards and for their exciting season.
