Former Eastern Pennsylvania ODP player Murphy Agnew of Washington Crossing has already achieved quite a bit in her young soccer career. She won a PIAA State Championship with Villa Joseph Marie High School in 2014 and finished runner-up the last two seasons. In August, Agnew and her YMS Premier Xplosion team claimed the Under-17 Girls US Youth Soccer National Championship. The Xplosion came back from a 2-0 deficit to win the final, 3-2 in extra time. Agnew, who scored the equalizer, bagged the game-winner and took home Golden Ball honors as the tournament’s top scorer, the third consecutive season she’s earned that honor.

Following graduation next spring Agnew will head to Harvard University to play soccer. A Region I player in addition to playing for the state team, Agnew spoke to Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer about how her experience in ODP helped her grow as a player.
