| Week: | |
McDonogh was the ESPNHS FAB 50 preseason No. 1 team and never relinquished the top spot. It wasn't always easy, but the Eagles completed an undefeated season - beating some of the best teams in the nation along the way - to earn the 2010 ESPNHS FAB 50 national championship. First-team All-ESPNHS selections Hannah Franklin (Georgetown) and Taylor Virden (Duke) led the way, but with seven other Division I players on the team, this was the most complete squad in the nation and they proved it.
