After leading the SaberCats to their first Class 5A state title last month, Fossil Ridge senior defender Teagan Myers was named the Gatorade Colorado Girls Soccer Player of the Year this week.
The 5-foot-7 Kentucky commit led a defense that allowed just 13 goals en route to a 15-1-4 record and 5A state championship victory over Castle View. She scored the loan goal in the title game and finished with four goals and two assists on a season that also ended with 5A player of the year honors.
In addition, she carried a 4.18 weighted GPA in the classroom and volunteered for multiple initiatives as part of Fossil Ridge’s National Honor Society and Key Club.
“Teagan is a tremendous leader who clearly helped shift the culture of the program,” Windsor head coach Mike Lordemann said in a release announcing the award. “Ask any coach what wins championships, and most will say the same thing: defense. We simply couldn’t break down Fossil Ridge’s defense with Teagan anchoring it.”
Myers joins elite company as a Gatorade player of the year, with notable alumni including U.S. Women’s National Team star Mallory Swanson (nee Pugh) with Mountain Vista in 2014-15.
