2025 HockomockSports Field Hockey Awards

 
Canton junior Shannon Lane has been selected as the 2025 HockomockSports.com Field Hockey Player of the Year. Lane was one of the most dangerous offensive players in the state this season, helping the Bulldogs win the Davenport division title and reach the Division 2 Final Four for the second straight year.

Lane’s combination of elite stick handling, speed, and finishing ability made her nearly impossible to contain. Even when facing constant double teams and defensive attention, she still produced at an incredible rate, scoring 46 goals and adding 16 assists this fall. Her 62 points led the Hock and she was voted as the Davenport division MVP by the coaches. Through three seasons, the Providence College commit has already totaled 120 goals and 44 assists for 164 career points.

“Shannon is a true game-changer,” said Canton coach Chrissy O’Connor. “Her drive, talent, and competitive drive lift everyone around her.”

With Lane leading the attack, Canton once again established itself as one of the top teams in the league and in the state. Her ability to break down defenders one-on-one, create her own shot, and open space for teammates was a major reason the Bulldogs made another deep postseason run.

“Shannon dominated all season long,” said HockomockSports Editor Ryan Lanigan. “Anytime she got the ball on her stick, there was a chance something special could happen. She demanded attention from opposing defenses yet routinely got past them, and she had one of the most dangerous shots in the league.”

Lane is the second Canton player to win Player of the Year honors and first since Kelly Stigas, who was the inaugural winner in 2013. It also snaps an eight-year streak of players from the Kelley-Rex division to win the award. Previous winners include Franklin’s Haley Wernig (2024), Kaitlyn Carney (2021), and Annie Walsh (2021), King Philip’s Kelly Holmes (2023), Alli Meehan (2018) and Christina Hathaway (2017), Attleboro’s Anna Beck (2019), Mansfield’s Caroline Maher (2014), and Oliver Ames’ Hannah Friend (2014).

Honorable Mentions: Kelsey McCleary (Attleboro), Carolyn Schiavo (Canton), Ella Marzullo (Franklin), Ella Morgan (King Philip)
