Campbell, a quick-striking forward, scored a league-high 12 goals and led the Buffanblu to a 9-0-1 record and their third straight ILH championship.

With her outside speed, fancy footwork and accurate shooting, Campbell caused trouble for opponents.

Campbell is joined on the ILH all-star first team by three fellow Buffanblu: sophomore fullback Kelsey Baker, senior fullback Shaina Sonobe and junior goalkeeper Allison Lipsher.

That trio solidified a defense that allowed only three goals during the regular season.

Runner-up Kamehameha placed three players on the first team: junior forward India Soo, junior midfielder Healani Leita-Ah You and sophomore fullback Jordan Weeks. Soo's speed in the open field helped her finish tied for third in the ILH with eight goals.

Leita-Ah You and Weeks spurred a defense that gave up only four goals all season.

Pac-Five was represented on the first team by sophomore forward Britta Bourne and senior midfielder Karlyn Oyama. Bourne finished second in the ILH with 11 goals.

St. Francis junior midfielder Jennifer Scelsa and Iolani sophomore fullback Patricia Wong round out the first team.

Punahou's Jorge Barbosa was named Coach of the Year after leading the Buffanblu through a treacherous league schedule without a loss.
