Riley Batdorf, Sydney Schmouder, Alayna Davis and Carly Aument were all selected as all-state by the Pennsylvania High School Field Hockey Association.
Batdorf, the Seals goalie, earned her second straight honor.
Batdorf capped her senior year against defending state champion Palmyra, making 16 saves to keep the Seals competitive in the state playoff game. She had 12 saves in the last three quarters in the face of 12 penalty corners, allowing only a third-period goal over the final 45 minutes.
