Harkes & Natanson Named to High School All-American Game

On October 24, 2014, the High School All-American Game, sponsored in part by the NSCAA, Adidas and Soccer.com, named high school soccer standouts Lauren Harkes ‘15 (Bishop O’Connell High School – Arlington, VA) and Hannah Natanson ‘15 (Georgetown Day School – Washington, DC) to the East All-American team. On Dec. 13, 2014, they competed in the annual game against the West team in Raleigh, N.C.

In total, 42 Fall high school players from across the nation were selected from the senior class for soccer achievements over the course of their high school playing careers. Harkes and Natanson made it through a five round selection process to earn a spot on the East’s 21-player roster. Only players who have completed their senior high school season are eligible to participate.

Harkes, a two-time Washington Post All-Met First Team selection, scored 17 goals and provided 14 assists as a holding midfielder in her high school career. Harkes will take the field for Clemson University in 2015. Natanson, a forward and three-time All-Met selection (Honorable Mention in 2012 and 2013, Second Team in 2014) holds her school’s career scoring record with 60 goals and 22 assists. Natanson will play for Harvard next Fall.
