Lacey McCormack, Yorktown (Arlington, Va.), Sr.

The win gave Yorktown a 24-0-1 record, the program's second state title in three years and a No. 2 Spring FAB 50 finish.

Gordon finished the season with 14 goals and 14 assists. She is a repeat TopDrawerSoccer All-America selection. She was part of the Class of 2020, but accelerated her studies to graduate a year early.
