When the KingCo Conference rolled out its Mountain Division girls soccer all-league selections last month, eight Mercer Island High School players were emblazoned on the list.

Senior Hannah Savoy notched the Defensive Player of the Year honor, first-teamers are sophomore midfielder Jackie Gonzalez and seniors Hannah Hsu (midfielder) and Anna Carson (forward), second-teamers are junior midfielder Blakeley Bourke and sophomore midfielder Hayden Feimster, and honorable mentions are senior forward Anna Marsh and senior defender Maggie Blohm.

The girls finished second at 6-2-2 in the Mountain Division and 11-3-3 overall. In the 3A KingCo tournament, they beat Sammamish, 7-0, and lost to Inglemoor, 2-0.

In a previous Reporter article, Savoy said that one of her favorite parts of playing Islander ball has been learning how to work with a diverse set of teammates.

“Everybody has their own interests and stuff off the field. It’s really nice that we can just come together and all play a game we all like to play. It’s been great getting to lead everybody and get to know all these different people,” she said.
