Annabelle Carlton, Monmouth Academy senior defender: The regional all-star registered three goals and five assists last season for the Class D South runners-up.

Cooper Davis, Maranacook junior defender: The Maine Soccer Coaches Southern all-state selection is a big reason why the Black Bears only gave up eight goals last season. Davis can kick-start offenses just as well as stopping them with sharp passes through the midfield or up the pitch to teammates.

Kaitlyn Frost, Monmouth Academy senior midfielder: Frost scored seven goals and added four assists to earn Class D South all-region honors in 2024.  

Allee Goodrich, Skowhegan sophomore defender: The center back was a key defender for a River Hawks team that made the playoffs for the first time since 2018.

Sofia Isgro, Temple junior defender: Isgro was the anchor of a Temple defense that allowed eight goals all year (four against eventual state champion Madison in the 8-person South regional final). The Maine Soccer Coaches regional all-star has good awareness, speed and ball skills. 

Sophia Marrone, Gardiner senior midfielder: The KVAC B Player of the Year is one of the most technically sound and skilled players Gardiner coach Jess Prince said she has coached. Marrone led the Tigers in goals last season.

Emmalin Nichols, Hall-Dale junior defender: A second-team all-MVC player, Nichols generates the Bulldogs’ offense from the backline in addition to playing strong defense on the wing.

Evelyn Pepin, Mt. Abram sophomore forward: The quick and intelligent Class C South all-star led the Roadrunners with 20 goals and tacked on four assists as a freshman.

Abby St. Clair, Winthrop senior midfielder/defender: St. Clair is the lone senior on a young Ramblers squad. The Class C South all-star tallied 11 goals and seven assists from her central defensive position.

Jackie Sasse, Erskine senior defender: The regional all-star returns as a senior captain as the Eagles look to build off last year’s campaign, when they earned the third seed in Class B North.
