A senior captain, McCann is a “leader in the community, and one of the best teammates I’ve had the pleasure of coaching,” coach Dan Collins stated about the starting left back who typically is tasked with defending the opposition’s best player and recently helped the Hillers post seven straight shutouts. “Her positivity and selflessness are contagious, and she strives in all ways to make her team and community the best it can possibly be.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
