SHAYLYN BLANEY
Ward Melville, Midfielder, Sophomore
Shaylyn Blaney scored, defended, passed and did everything else a player can do in a 60-minute field hockey game. The midfielder was a scoring threat, but was also one of Long Islands most determined defensive players. She had 13 goals and six assists, and helped lead the Patriots to their second straight Long Island championship. Blaney used her athletic ability and speed to harass opponents on defense and benefited by being constantly aggressive near the goal.
