A 15-player squad was picked by the district coaches.
{REST} Repeat picks, in addition to Maglalang, are Great Bridge's Christy Reccord, Rachel Brantley and Lynn Wheaton and Western Branch's Holly Patterson.
Wilson's Corinna Morrissette and Great Bridge's Allison Salo were elevated from last year's second team.
District champion Great Bridge dominates the squad with four players. Western Branch and Churchland each placed three. Deep Creek and Wilson both had two. Indian River landed one.
Only five players, all juniors, will have an opportunity to repeat on the 1995 team. The other 10 players are seniors.
Theresa Facenda, Kathy Powers and Sarah Teemant are the Churchland players. In addition to Patterson, Western Branch has Amy Osborne and Rachel Borum.
Also chosen from Wilson was Desiree Ferdon.
Deep Creek's other player is Elizabeth Allison.
Christina Johnson is the lone Indian River player.
First year Deep Creek coach Todd Revell says Maglalang was a big part of the Hornet offense. After all, she scored 15 goals and added 11 assists for a team that tallied 36 goals.
``She is a good all-around player - and contributed on both ends of the field,'' Revell said.
Maglalang also played for Deep Creek's district champion basketball team.
``She is a very solid player in whatever sport she does,'' the coach said.
Maglalang has been accepted at Old Dominion, but some smaller schools are still interested in her, according to Revell. She is an honor graduate with a 3.3 grade point average.
Teammate Allison scored only one goal but was an exceptional defensive player. Only a junior, Allison is expected to add to the Hornets' offensive punch next year.
Allison is a three-sport varsity player at Deep Creek, also winning letters in tennis and basketball.
Goalie Patterson, also a standout basketball player at Western Branch, chalked up nine shutouts and had a sterling 1.06 goals against average.
A midfielder, Ferdon was called ``our utility player'' by Wilson coach Dan Lewandowski. ``She was all over the place for us,'' Lewandowski said.
Ferdon, a senior, scored nine goals.
Morrissette, also a senior, has accepted a soccer scholarship to Barton College. A four-year player, the sweeper scored one goal.
Teemant, a junior, was Churchland's top scorer with seven goals. Truckers coach Ken Walker used Powers as ``our all-purpose player.'' A sweeper, Powers also is a junior.
Facenda, a senior who will attend Virginia Tech, played every minute as Churchland's goalie without relief. She posted three shutouts.
Reccord transferred to Great Bridge as a junior from Bloomingdale High School near Brandon, Fla. Soccer - first with the Virginia Beach Football Club and secondly with the Wildcat club - helped her with the transition.
However, physical problems cropped up this year. ``They messed me up and I was really frustrated,'' she said. In spite of the obstacles, she was named to the state Olympic Development Program (ODP) team and had a solid season for the Wildcats. Her plans are to enter Virginian Wesleyan in the fall and hopefully play for the Marlins.
The second team has 15 players - six seniors, three juniors and six sophomores.
Deep Creek and Oscar Smith placed three. Churchland, Wilson and Western Branch each had two on the squad. Indian River had one representative, Tiffany Swiney, who was a first-team pick last year.
April Roberts of Great Bridge and Natalie Barnes of Wilson were holdovers on the second unit.
