NORTH PENN HIGH SCHOOL

UNDEFEATED GIRLS WATER POLO TEAM 2006

PIAA AAAA STATE CHAMPION

Head Coach: Bill Bartle
Assistant Coach: Katie (Plewinski) Grunmeier
Captains: Kate Klinger, Amy Plewinski, Emily Stiles, Allison Warwick

North Penn’s 2006 Girls Water Team set benchmarks that future teams aspire to achieve. The 2006 squad remains the only undefeated team in the program’s history, was the first team to capture the Beast of East title, and topped off the season with a PA State Title.

Led by captains Kate Klinger, Amy Plewinski, Emily Stiles and Allison Warwick, the team captured the Suburban One League title, the Eastern Conference title en-route to their State victory. As a result, Klinger, Plewinski, Stiles, Warwick, along with teammates Lauren French, Rebecca Hannings, and Molly Robinson received state honors, including Lauren French being named PA Player of the Year.

The girls faced a number of challenges throughout the season. The team defeated state runner-up Souderton twice during league play, and notched another victory over the rivals with an 8-7 overtime victory in the state finale.  In the championship game at the Beast of East Tournament, the team battled back from a 5-1 deficit to defeat tournament host Wilson, West Lawn.

At the State Tournament, the Maidens defeated Wyoming Valley West, Erie McDowell, and host Cumberland Valley to set up a most memorable state final.

The Maidens have had many successful seasons since 2006, though no team has matched the achievements of the 2006 team. Congratulations to all team members on their 2014 Hall of Fame induction, and treasured season.
