2013 HockomockSports.com Girls Lacrosse Awards
Player of the Year: Marta Versprille, Franklin
Franklin junior midfielder Marta Vesprille has been named the inaugural 2013 HockomockSports.com Girls’ Lacrosse Player of the Year. Vesprille helped lead the Panthers to another Kelley-Rex division title and to the Division 1 South sectional semifinal.
Vesprille was solid in all aspects of the midfield role from defensive duties to creating goal scoring opportunities. She scored 37 goals and notched nine assists, but also contributed 54 draw controls, 22 ground balls, and forced 24 turnovers for the league champs.
First-year Franklin head coach Krisitin Igoe remarked, “Marta did everything for us and she truly embodies what it means to be a midfielder. She won draws, ground balls, marked up on the toughest attackers when playing defense and was one of our top scorers.
Igoe added, “She is a very hard-working player and will do anything for her team.”
Vesprille was also named a Hockomock League All-Star by the coaches, one of five Franklin players chosen.
