DURHAM, N.C. – After signing with the Duke University women's soccer program this past week,
Brooke Heinsohn has been presented with the Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year for 2015-16.
Heinsohn, a 6-1 goalkeeper who hails from Norfolk, Mass., led The Rivers School to a 16-0-3 record and the New England Prep School Athletic Council Class B tournament championship this past season. She allowed only two goals in 10 matches and recorded shutouts in all three NEPSAC tournament games.
A member of the U.S. Soccer U-20 Women's National Team, Heinsohn is a two-time All-Independent School League selection. Rated as the No. 1 goalkeeper and the No. 24 overall player in the 2016 class by TopDrawerSoccer.com, Heinsohn concluded her high school career with 50 shutouts.
The award is selected based on athletic production and impact in the 2015-16 fall season. Each winner demonstrated high academic achievement and exemplary personal character, including volunteerism, sportsmanship and community leadership.
Off the field, Heinsohn volunteered locally as a youth soccer coach and has also donated her time to Rivers' Red Key organization, though which students conduct campus tours and represent the admissions office at various events.
