David Durkin (Fenwick)

If the Friars hope to defend their title, they will likely need contributions from throughout their entire lineup. Look for a player like Durkin to come through if opposing defenses spend too much time focusing on shutting down players like Andrew Bertschy, Danny Farmer, and Omar Calderon.

Erica Mangia (Lincoln-Way East)

Mangia played a key role in helping the Griffins reach their first-ever state tournament. The senior should continue to excel on both ends of the pool for a team looking to dethrone the defending state champions (SICP) on Friday night.

Kaleigh Dolan (New Trier)

Dolan set the tone for the Trevians in their win over Loyola in the GBS Sectional final, connecting on the game's first goal from outside seven meters. She has stepped her game up in the postseason and could play a pivotal role in New Trier's quarterfinal matchup with Stevenson on Friday.
