Seven Lady Hawks Earn All-County Honors

It's been a banner season for the River Dell Lady Hawks with seven student-athletes earning All-County accolades for their hard work and effort. This year's honorees include Kate Brock, Mary Maccabee and Emily Wilts for volleyball; Frankie Maier for soccer; and Cassidy Verrier, Meghan Ennis and Chloe Sneyer for field hockey. 

The young women will be honored at the Fall All-County dinner next month in Wood-Ridge and also at the Fall Athletic Dinner.

Volleyball

While the dream season ended without a Tournament of Champions title, three members of the volleyball squad (24-4) will walk away with a North 1 Group 2 and Group 2 titles to their name.

Senior co-captain Kate Brock (middle blocker/outside hitter) makes her way onto the First Team-All County for the second year in a row. She led her team with a whopping 229 kills, 18 aces, 5 service points, 27 assists, 31 blocks and 83 digs. The two-sport athlete turns her attention to the basketball court for the winter.

Maccabee, a junior middle blocker/rightside hitter makes her appearance on the Second Team All-County list for the first time in her varsity career. Stepping up her game this season while Brock struggled with an injured ankle, she blasted 180 kills, 105 digs, 8 aces, 6 service points, 5 assists and 6 blocks.

Co-captain  and outside hitter Emily Wilts, finished out her senior year by earning Third Team All-County honors for her support in the back line. Wilts led the Lady Hawks with an amazing 146 digs, 19 aces, 2 service points, 67 kills, 5 assists and one block.

Field Hockey

Cassidy Verrier moves up from the 2010 Second Team All-County list to the First Team All-County group in field hockey while Meghan Ennis and Chloe Sneyer make their first appearance on the Second Team All-County and Honorable Mention lists respectively.

Verrier, a senior defender contributed three goals and three assists during the 8-9-2 season. A junior attacker Ennis connected on six goals and five assists while Sneyer, also a junior, netted four goals and three assists.

Soccer

Verbally committed to Seton Hall University in her junior year, Frankie Maier led the Hawks to a 10-6-2 season with 16 goals and 11 assists. Ironically, even though Maier has been a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, this is her first appearance on the First Team All-County team having missed out on the honor last season.

The three-sport midfielder has led her team to the County and State tournaments in soccer and will next turn her eyes to the basketball court in the winter and then running track in the spring.
