Baltimore Sun 2022 All-Metro field hockey

Here are The Baltimore Sun’s All-Metro field hockey teams for the 2022 season.

Maya Everett, Broadneck, senior, midfield

The three-year starter and Maryland commit was the central figure on a lightning-quick midfield that led the Bruins to a perfect season, no. 1 ranking in The Baltimore Sun and their first state title since 2002. She finished the season with 19 goals — one shy of the school record — and nine assists despite usually being the focus of opposing defenses. She was also one of her team’s primary shooters on offensive penalty corners.

Even more important than her scoring, however, was her ability to kickstart her team’s midfield transition, creating turnovers and starting counterattacks that often resulted in fast breaks that led to easy goals or penalty corners. Time and again, she used her exceptional speed, field vision and stick skills to make calculated plays that had a massive impact on games.

“Maya’s ability to read the field and execute the right skill at the right time are what make her such an outstanding and well-rounded player,” Broadneck coach Shannon Hanratty said. “Even more so is that she has such a variety of skills to choose from in any given moment. That really stems from her dedication and love for this game.”

Everett, ranked as one of the nation’s top 50 seniors by MAX Field Hockey, was one of several Bruins seniors who started playing together years ago with Broadneck Area Youth Sports. That familiarity showed on the field, with the Bruins outscoring opponents 108-11 and knocking off two-time defending state champion Severna Park in the state quarterfinals to avenge a season-ending loss in 2021.

Shannon Hanratty, Broadneck

Hanratty and assistants Melissa Quigley, Joe Borneman and Stephanie Thomson guided Broadneck to one of the most dominant seasons in state history, culminating with an undefeated record, Class 4A state championship and a No. 19 national ranking.

Just how dominant were the Bruins? Theyed defeat No. 3 Archbishop Spalding, no. 4 Crofton, no. 5 Severna Park, no. 6 River Hill, no. 8 Glenelg and No. 9 South River a total of nine times by a combined score of 37-8.

“As a staff, we saw glimpses of what was possible early on in the season, but you still never know what might happen down the road,” Hanratty said. “To have completed the ‘perfect season’ with this group of talented, fun and strong female student-athletes is something that I will always cherish. The team made a statement this year and our players’ hard work earned every minute of it.”

The fourth-year head coach, who owns a 44-12 record, was a first-team All-Metro defender at Broadneck in 2007, as well as an all-conference and all-region player at Salisbury.
