The postseason accolades keep piling up for members of Tabb’s field hockey team, who defeated James Monroe 1-0 in the Group 4A state championship game earlier this month.

After earning All-Conference and All-Region honors, Tabb midfielder Izzy Solaroli was named Group 4A Player of the Year, while Tabb Head Coach Wendy Wilson was named Coach of the Year.

In addition to Solaroli, a University of Iowa commit, three other Tabb players earned first-team honors. Those three players were forward Miya Denison, forward Courtney Fiest and defender Cassidy Clark.

Tabb was not the only Historic Triangle team to have players earn first-team All-State honors, as York and Grafton each had two selections.

For York, forward Jordyn Keller and defender Courtney Ray earned first-team recognition. For the Clippers, forward Sydnie Swartwood and defender Erin Malone earned honors.

More local players also earned second-team recognition, including Warhill forward Kayla Cooke. York midfielder Bentley Zabicki, Grafton midfielder Emma Kirschke, Tabb midfielder Sarah Mueller, Tabb defender Jessie Meyers and Grafton goalkeeper Laurel Nicks were named to the second team.
