The Olympic Conference girls soccer schedule can be a grind, so teams need solid senior leaders to help guide them through tough games every week. Mackenzie McCready was the kind of midfielder every coach would love to have. Somebody who is tough, physical, smart with the ball and makes everyone around her better.
She had a tremendous senior year, leading the Renegades to a 19-2-2 record that included an appearance in the Coaches Cup semifinals, a South Jersey Group 3 championship and a berth in the state championship game.
McCready finished with 11 goals and 17 assists, including five goals and four assists in the state playoffs. McCready and Shawnee nearly won the state title, falling in the sixth round of a shootout to Chatham after a 1-1 tie.
