WHS girls soccer star Maura Dorr named to All State team

In one of the finest single seasons ever put together by a player in the history of the Winthrop High girls soccer program, sophomore Maura Dorr was rewarded for her stellar soccer season with the honor of being selected to the All-State team, as well as the EMGSA first team All-Stars.

Maura, who scored 29 goals and four assists this season, also received a first team Northeastern Conference All-Conference selection.

Combined with her totals as a freshman of 13 goals and 11 assists, Maura’s two-year career point production adds up to 42 goals and 23 assists, already surpassing present WHS head coach Tracey Martucci’s mark of 39 goals and moving Dorr into second-place among the all-time WHS girls scoring leaders.

With the WHS record standing at 49 career goals by Julie Dowson — who is an assistant coach for the team — Dorr is a cinch to become the WHS girls all-time scoring leader.

“Maura is much more than just a fantastic soccer player,” said Martucci. “She brings so much to a team with her winning attitude and her energy. Her skill set is off the charts and she just has what it takes to make a well-rounded soccer player.

“It has been a long time since we have had a player of her caliber. I had the privilege of coaching Julie and she was an incredible soccer player,” Martucci added. “So for Maura to be approaching her numbers after just two seasons is pretty much self-explanatory.”

Dorr was able to showcase her skills at the EMass All-Star game featuring some of the best players from across the state. True to form, Maura scored a goal, helping her team to victory.

“I am very excited to see how far she takes this over the next two years,” said Martucci. “I couldn’t be any prouder as a coach.”
