HighSchoolOT's All-State girls soccer team for the 2022 season

HighSchoolOT has released its second-annual all-state girls soccer team, which features the best players across all state associations.

There are 15 players each on the first, second, and third team, each with minimum requirements of at least one goalie, three defenders, four midfielders and four forwards. There are three additional spots on each team, allowing more players of one of these positions to make team (ex: two goalies, or four defenders, etc.). There are also 30 honorable mention spots that have no position requirements.

The HighSchoolOT all-state teams seek input not only from coaches and our own staff but also media members across the state. Rather than tallying votes by ballot, HighSchoolOT maintains an open dialogue with these media members to ensure the best all-state team possible.

Each player is listed below with their stats. Positions were determined by what was listed on the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association's website.

Lake Norman Charter's Eliza Rich was the only repeat first-teamer, but there were 15 total players who made the team for the second straight season.

The full list includes: Rich, Hoggard's Ella Johnson, Laney's Taylor Chism, Wheatmore's Summer Bowman, Wilkes Central's Zoe Susi, Fred T. Foard's Alexis Wolgemuth, Charlotte Country's Maddie Eastman, Ardrey Kell's Taylor Suarez, Athens Drive's Laura Cate Westerbeek, Northwest Guilford's Sarah Wommack, Community School of Davidson's Michaela Deas, Hickory Christian's Ava Hartman, East Bladen's Maya McDonald, A.C. Reynolds' Halle Skibo, and Salisbury's Sutton Webb.
