Marina Bassett, Portland co-op senior forward: A Varsity Maine All-State selection the last two seasons, Bassett scored 36 goals and added 26 assists last season.

Carlin Galligan, Gorham co-op junior defense: A Fryeburg Academy junior, Galligan is one of the players the Rams are counting on to help fill the void left by the graduation of top scorer Emerson Homa. Galligan recorded 13 goals and 20 assists last season.

Azalea Grant, Gorham co-op sophomore defender: One of the top defenders in the league as a freshman last season, Grant will look to build off that debut success. She can also be an offensive force for Gorham, and scored 13 goals to go with 25 assists last season.

Libby Hooper, Portland co-op senior forward: Another strong returning player in the Beacons lineup, Hooper scored 25 goals and had 16 assists last season and was an all-state selection by the coaches association. For her career, Hooper has 52 goals and 38 assists, closing in on 100 career points.

Maine’s all-time leading scorer in field hockey, she plans to play that sport at Boston University.

Lauren Labbe, Brunswick senior forward: Coming of a 26-goal, 14-assist season, Labbe is one of the top returning scorers in the state. She’ll provide scoring punch and leadership for a team that expects to be among the contenders for the state championship. Labbe was an all-North selection by the coaches last season.

Solveig Ledwick, Brunswick junior defense: Another top returner for the Dragons, Ledwick is a strong two-way player who earned all-North honors last season, when she scored 16 goals and added 14 assists. She has the talent to improve on that output this season.
