Half of this year's 14-member team is back from last year, and they'd make quite the sides in a 7-on-7 drill: three-time first-teamer Jamie Dougherty of Grand Island and fellow forward Emily Pitek of Nardin; midfielders Savannah Stolzenburg of Grand Island and Emily Urbanczyk of Williamsville East; defenders Jenna Cleary of Clarence and Katie Gampietro of East Aurora; and goalie Lynn Gugliuzza of Kenmore West.

Two of the area's greatest girls soccer dynasties are represented in Dougherty and Stolzenburg of Grand Island and Urbanczyk, Caitlin Ott and Jenna Gage of Williamsville East. East won its fourth straight Section VI title this season while Grand Island capped off three dominating seasons with a trip to the state final four. Dougherty and Stolzenburg both had shootout goals in the Vikings' victory over Section V's Churchville-Chili in the Far West Regionals.

Cleary is joined by Clarence teammate Heidi Griffiths while Williamsville South has two selections on the team as well. Griffiths and Nichols' Katie Campos are the only juniors on the squad.

Here's a look at the team, selected by a panel of area coaches:

Katie Campos, Nichols: Junior midfielder was part of 2000 independent state champion as a freshman and captained the Vikings to this year's state final (where they lost in a shootout). . . . Balanced offensive threat scored 12 goals and had 12 assists, giving her career totals of 28 goals and 24 assists. . . . Busy body and busy mind: Campos is an A student involved in the performing arts at Nichols, but has found the time to play soccer, basketball and lacrosse.

Jamie Dougherty, Grand Island: Knack-for-the-net Dougherty finished her career with astounding school-record 146 goals after a senior season of 38 goals and 28 assists. . . . Dougherty blew by the school mark of 113 held by Jill Conover, who completed her Bowling Green career this year as the Falcons' all-time scoring leader (65 points). . . .

Holds a 94 average and is choosing a college from Bucknell, William & Mary, Dickinson, Cornell and Haverford, among others.

Emily Pitek, Nardin: When the Gators were the runners-up at the 1999 Catholic state final, she was the "unsung hero."

Bucknell, Richmond, William & Mary, Rochester, Colgate and Dickinson are among the college choices for the possible Spanish major and owner of a 96 average.
