Derryfield’s Brummett named Gatorade’s New Hampshire Girls Soccer Player of the Year
Gabi Brummett did a lot of remarkable things for the Derryfield School girls soccer team last fall.
So remarkable, she’s being rewarded for it three months after the season ended.
On Thursday, Brummett, a junior, was named Gatorade’s New Hampshire Girls Soccer Player of the Year, winning the award for the third consecutive year.
The award caps off a season in which Brummett helped lead the Cougars to an undefeated season and their second consecutive Division IV championship. Along the way, she set state records for goals scored in a season, with 86, and in a career (222), breaking the state record of 151.
“Gabi is, obviously, a standout player,” Epping coach Will Titus said in the press release. “I know she won this award last year and she topped her output in a perfect season this year. They would have been a top-four team, no question, without her, but she put them far out of the scrum into the definitive favorite.”
Brummett, who is ranked No. 19 in the 2017 recruiting class by TopDrawerSoccer.com, has already committed to Duke University. She’s the sixth New Hampshire athlete to win three state awards, joining Matt Bonner (Concord basketball), Tiffany Ruffin (Winnacunnet basketball), Morgan Andrews (Milford soccer), Hannah Parker (Coe-Brown track) and Maegan Doody (Oyster River cross country).
