The fall soccer season has wrapped up for high school teams across Oregon and a number of Portland Thorns Academy players finished their seasons strong, earning a string of awards and accolades at the state and conference levels.
Few players accomplished more than Jacqueline Blakeley of La Salle Catholic College Prepatory High School and the Thorns U-16s. On November 16, Blakeley was named the Northwest Oregon Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
Three days earlier, in Oregon's 5A State Final, Blakeley scored and converted one of La Salle's game-winning penalty kicks to help top-seeded La Salle Prep edge past Silverton.
