In addition to Player of the Year Taylor Murphy of Radnor, the All-Delco team includes: Maura Irish, Episcopal Academy: One of the top scorers on EA this year, leading the Churchwomen to a share of the Inter-Ac title and the PAISAA Crown over rival Agnes Irwin. Irish was second to Quinn Whitaker with 50 goals and 64 points. She topped out with seven goals in a blistering of Notre Dame in the regular season and added four in dispatching Penn Charter and Notre Dame.
She had 11 games of at least three goals, including four in the first round of the PAISAA tournament and three in the semifinal win. Fittingly, the junior has committed her lacrosse future to Notre Dame. Kate Stanton, Penncrest: The Penn signee is on the All-Delco team for a second time after another explosive season.
Stanton led Delaware County with 86 goals and was second only to Murphy with 105 points. She also led Penncrest with 122 draw controls, was third with 50 ground balls and third with 27 caused turnovers, despite the Lions’ exemplary defensive depth. The 2023 PIAA Class 3A runners-up went 18-7 this year, reaching the District 1 and PIAA semifinals before falling to Radnor both times.
Stanton had five goals and two assists in each of the Lions’ first two state wins, plus five goals in a loss to Manheim Township, four in a regular-season loss to Radnor and four in falling to Archbishop Carroll. Quinn Whitaker, Episcopal Academy: The Boston College commit and one of the standard bearers in the 2025 clas.
