It was an exceptional year for desert high school girls' soccer as we saw individual milestones passed, deep playoff runs and countless amazing performances.
The last feather to be put in players' caps are the all-league teams and both the Desert Valley League and the De Anza League have revealed their girls' soccer all-league squads.
The offensive MVP for the Desert Valley League is La Quinta senior star Tatiana Woodworth. The talented scorer rewrote the Blackhawks' record books during her four-year career and this season she eclipsed the school's assist and goals scored record.
She helped lead the Blackhawks to the semifinals in the CIF-SS tournament, which ties the farthest the team has ever advanced. She will continue her soccer career in college at University of Toledo.
Xavier Prep sophomore Dalton Kramer earned the league's defensive player of the year award.

The coach of the year was awarded to Jayme Macknicki of La Quinta. It was a nice honor to bestow upon the coach who had to leave mid-season for maternity leave. Her coaching and preparation helped the team achieve its goals including a DVL title with an 11-0-1 record.
Joining Woodworth and Kramer on the first team is an uber-talented group.
La Quinta seniors Alexis Garcia, Marci Gallo and Hannah Mendoza, junior Monica Calderon and senior goalkeeper Nicole Maler represented the Blackhawks. Maler set the school record for shutouts at 31.
Cathedral City senior star Azalea Guanajuato, who eclipsed 100 career goals for her career is on the first team along with junior teammate Alejandra Fernandez.
Three Palm Desert Aztecs made the first team and all three are juniors: Kaitlin Clapinski, Kaci Holliday and Andrea Soto.
Xavier Prep's Kaylee McClellan pulled off the rare feat of making the first team as a freshman.

Coachella Valley and Rancho Mirage tied for first in the De Anza League, so it's no surprise they dominated the first team list. However, it was the Arabs who swept the big awards.
The league's offensive MVP is Mariah Godinez, the star forward who broke the school's all-time scoring record during the course of her senior season, helping the Arabs reach the semifinals, the farthest they've advanced in school history.
The defensive MVP is her Arab teammate Adrianna Moreno, and the top goalkeeper was awarded to Coachella Valley's Melanie Ramirez.
Good news for the rest of the league is that all three stars are seniors.
Joining those three on the first team for the Arabs are senior Brianda Rios-Felix, juniors Miranda Torres and Daniela Iniguez, and sophomore Eva Lupita Torres.
The Rattlers had four first-teamers, including seniors Victoria Relerford and Jaidah Martin, and sophomores Caitlin Estrin and Briana Luna.
Fabiana Zavala, a junior from Desert Mirage, and Jennifer Joya a senior from Desert Hot Springs also made the first team.
High desert stars Jacqueline Bolha and McKenna Larson of Yucca Valley and Emma Yeager of Twentynine Palms round out the first team.
