Here’s the 2018 Lexington All-City Girls’ Soccer Team

Paul Laurence Dunbar keeper Morgan Turcotte has been named the Lexington Player of the Year by the city’s girls’ soccer coaches.

Turcotte, a senior who led the state with 16 shutouts this season, was named to the First Team for the third consecutive season after earning 151 of a possible 154 points tabulated from ballots received from eight of the city’s nine KHSAA programs. The Brown University commit this season led Dunbar to its first 11th Region title since 2014.

Meron Roach, another Dunbar senior, also made the First Team. Lexington Catholic led the city with three selections to the First Team: Alexis Burdine, Maggie Corbett and Tori McLaughlin. Tates Creek had two First Team selections — Shae Robertson and Abbey Biscoff — while Brennan Wallin (Lafayette), Kori Beaumont (Henry Clay), Grace Jacobs (Lexington Christian Academy) and Emily Coke (Frederick Douglass) gave their programs each one First Team member.

Methodology: Coaches were asked to nominate up to five players from their own teams and then to rank their top 22 players in the city, excluding players on their own team. Points were assigned to each ranking (22 points for No. 1, 21 points for No. 2, 20 points for No. 3, etc.) and the total sum of points across all ballots determined the final ranking of players. Multiple attempts to contact Bryan Station were unsuccessful; its players were anonymously nominated by another city coach.
