Offensive stalwarts who scored goals as effectively as they created them, a pair of WPIAL soccer standouts received elite recognition Wednesday.
Latrobe’s Robin Reilly and Tyler Prex of Seneca Valley, both senior midfielders, were named High School All-Americans by the United Soccer Coaches.
Reilly, a West Virginia commit who has enrolled early at her college destination, adds her latest honor to making All-WPIAL, all-state and all-region.
The playmaker had 15 goals and nine assists for Latrobe and has helped lead a spike in the program in recent years.
Reilly’s 61 goals and 44 assists are all-time marks in the Latrobe girls program.
She is the first player in Latrobe history to make All-America.
