Casey Hamel

Santa Margarita, Freshman; Soccer/Midfielder

It’s hard to imagine a freshman contributing to her team more than Hamel did last week. She assisted the Eagles’ only goal with a long free kick in a 1-0 Division II semifinal victory over Ventura Buena. In the final against Manhattan Beach Mira Costa, she had two assists and made a penalty kick, after drawing the penalty, in a 3-2 victory.
