28 | October 13, 2016 | The lake forest leader sports LakeForestLeader.com Girls Volleyball Lake Forest def. Zion-Benton, 25-9, 25-17 Lake Forest (25-2, 3-2) defeated hockey From Page 31 Lake Forest came into the matchup not having given up a goal since Labor Day weekend, a streak of 11 consecutive shutouts. The Scouts also boasted a perfect record against instate teams. On the other hand, Lake Forest is the only Illinois team to beat the Trevians (15-5) this season, when the Scouts won 3-2 in overtime at home on Aug. 27. That changed at the 12:13 mark of the first half, when Erin Joseph scored to tie the game at one. Lake high school highlights The rest of the week in high school sports Zion-Benton in straight games, 25-9, 25-17 on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Meghan McGrail has 13 kills and three aces, while Brigid Brennan led Forest had scored with 21 minutes remaining in the first half when Cat Nicholson knocked a shot past New Trier goalie Therese Cooney. “The girls were able to hang with us a little longer than most teams,” Lake Forest coach Melanie Walsh said. “We really haven’t had much competition.” “I think us losing some games has kept us in check, especially in the first half of the season when we gave up a lot of goals,” New Trier coach Stephanie Nykaza said. “A lot has changed since the beginning of the the defense with eight digs. Setter Emma Patlovich had 18 assists and seven digs, while Maren Douglass had two blocks. season and while I don’t like to lose, it’s helped us adjust what we need to do.” The first half featured much more action in the first as the teams combined for 12 shots in the first half and six corners, compared to six shots and one corner. The Trevians had one last chance around the twominute mark when a cross went wide of the goal. “The second half was a lot more midfield and we were not that great in the first half, but now we know how to keep the ball out of the cage,” Nykaza said. “We’re putting it together now and this is huge because it’s going to let us take a look at where we are going to playoffs.” The Scouts (16-2) had the first chance in the 6-on- 6, 10-minute overtime, but their shot went wide. The Trevians had their first true chance with 3:40 remaining, but their shot also went wide. “Our girls were gassed,” Walsh said. “They’re an aggressive team, the refs were holding the whistle and my girls are a finesse team and it frustrated them a bit because they weren’t getting the calls they would normally get.” But with just under two minutes remaining, New Trier got the corner it needed to help it seal the win. “We had a corner and Meghan Minturn took the shot,” Van Schaack said. “It just touched the tip of my stick and went between the goalie’s legs.” As the top two teams in the area, it’s likely Lake Forest and New Trier will see each other in the state playoffs. “I don’t think there’s anything that can boost our team’s confidence [more] than beating Lake Forest,” Van Schaack said. “From now on, we know exactly how this team plays and we can use what we’ve learned in this game in the state games.” Walsh looked forward to a rematch with the Trevians down the road. “They weren’t able to use the finesse they normally do, but we’ll adjust,” Walsh said. ”We’ll see them in the state finals.” This Week In… Scouts Varsity Athletics Boys Cross-Country ■Oct. ■ 15 - NSC Championship at Libertyville (Adler Park), 10 a.m. Girls Cross-Country ■Oct. ■ 15 - NSC Championship at Libertyville (Adler Park), 10:30 a.m. Girls Field Hockey ■Oct. ■ 14 - vs. Deerfield (West Campus), 5:45 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 19 - Playoffs (West Campus), TBD ■Oct. ■ 20 - Playoffs (West Campus), TBD Football ■Oct. ■ 14 - at Mundelein, 7:30 p.m. Boys Golf ■Oct. ■ 14 - State Meet at DeCatur (Hickory Point Golf Club), TBD ■Oct. ■ 15 - State Meet at DeCatur (Hickory Point Golf Club), TBD Girls Golf ■Oct. ■ 14 - State Meet at Bloomington (The Den Golf Club), TBD ■Oct. ■ 15 - State Meet at Bloomington (The Den Golf Club), TBD Boys Soccer ■Oct. ■ 13 - at Lake Forest Academy, 4:30 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 14 - Regional (West Campus), TBD ■Oct. ■ 15 - Regional at Fremd, 2 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 19 - Regional, TBD Girls Swimming ■Oct. ■ 13 - at Mundelein, 5 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 15- Diving at Evanston, 10 a.m. ■Oct. ■ 15 - Swimming at New Trier Invite (Winnetka Campus), 1:30 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 20 - vs. Waukegan (East Campus), 5 p.m. Girls Tennis ■Oct. ■ 14 - Sectional at Lakes, TBD ■Oct. ■ 20 - State Championships, TBD Girls Volleyball ■Oct. ■ 13 - at Mundelein, 6 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 19 - vs. Waukegan (East Campus), 6 p.m. Caxys Varsity Athletics Coed Cross-Country ■Oct. ■ 15 - Independents Classic at Lisle Community Park, 10 a.m. Girls Field Hockey ■Oct. ■ 15 - Regional Play in Game, TBD ■Oct. ■ 19 - Regionals, TBD Football ■Oct. ■ 15 - vs. DePaul College Prep, 1 p.m. Boys Soccer ■Oct. ■ 13 - vs. Lake Forest, 4:30 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 15 - vs. Niles North, 11 a.m. Girls Swimming ■Oct. ■ 13 - at Hamilton, 5 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 15 - vs. Lake Forest, noon Girls Volleyball ■Oct. ■ 15 - vs. Woodlands, 1 p.m. Wildcats varsity athletics Girls Field Hockey ■Oct. ■ 13 - vs. Latin, 4:30 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 15 - at Lake Forest Academy, noon Girls Tennis ■Oct. ■ 14 - IHSA Sectionals, TBD ■■ ■Girls ■ Volleyball ■Oct. ■ 14 - vs. Willows, 4:30 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 15 - at Lake Forest Academy, noon ■Oct. ■ 17 - at Christian Liberty Academy, 5 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 18 - at Luther North, 5 p.m. ■Oct. ■ 20 - vs. Morgan Park Academy, 4:30 p.m.
LakeForestLeader.com sports the lake forest leader | October 13, 2016 | 29 Boys Soccer Loyola offense, lightning shut down Scouts Derek Wolff, Sports Editor Boldly. Loyola Academy’s Collin Leider (16 white) wins a header against his counterpart, Lake Forest’s Jack Page (16), during the Ramblers 4-0 defeat of the Scouts on Thursday, Oct. 6, from Loyola Academy’s Munz Campus in Glenview. Derek Wolff/22nd Century Media Standing atop the hill at Loyola Academy’s Theodore G. Munz S.J. Campus is unlike most places in the North Shore. Beyond the array of uniform turf soccer fields, the layers of clouds off to the west appear as a mountain range, a pellucid reflection of the color palette created by the setting sun. It is a beautiful venue to take in the beautiful game. As the darkness crept in throughout the course of Lake Forest’s Thursday, Oct. 6, match with Loyola however, a lightning storm replaced the picturesque background, eventually ending the match 20 minutes early with the host Ramblers up, 4-0. Loyola used several lightning strikes of its own to overwhelm Lake Forest in the first half as its offense hummed to a 3-0 halftime lead. The Ramblers pressed early with a number of forays into the Scouts’ defensive third before breaking the deadlock in the fourth minute. Junior midfielder Nick Lew found himself in the right place at the right time inside the 6-yard box to capitalize on a second-chance play for the first goal. In the 10th minute, senior midfielder Julian Hilpusch doubled the lead, playing a ball in off his body after a cross from midfielder Collin Leider. Sophomore midfielder David Gripman made it 3-0 with five minutes to play in the first half, benefitting from an excellent through ball into the 18-yard box. Gripman slipped behind the Lake Forest backline and found himself one-onone with Scouts freshman goalkeeper John Walsh, who got a finger or two on the shot as it rushed by him into the lower corner at the near post. Both sides made tactical changes at halftime, while the Scouts also changed out goalkeepers to bring on senior Riley Perkofski for the second half. After securing the third goal, Loyola reduced its attacking runs in the second half and was content to play a counterattacking game, while Lake Forest- -seeking to get back in the contest--changed its formation to a more aggressive 3-4-3. As such, the Scouts gained more of a foothold at midfield and made advances into the attacking third, where Loyola’s stout back line refused to yield ground. Catching Lake Forest pressing forward, an early counterattack from Loyola nearly resulted in a fourth goal in the 42nd minute when Leider’s shot from inside the 6-yard box rang off the top of the crossbar. Lake Forest’s best opportunity in the match came from about 28 yards out from captain Daniel Hanson on a rocketed shot towards the low corner of the near post. Hanson beat his defender to earn a few yards of space before unfurling the longrange effort, which Loyola goalkeeper Jack McMenamin had to punch away with a diving save. The ball went out of bounds, giving Lake Forest its first corner kick of the evening, though the ensuing effort was harmlessly cleared back out into midfield by the Ramblers. Loyola earned a corner kick in the 58th minute that was cleared out into the midfield, but when the Ramblers caught the Scouts pressing they turned another counterattack into the night’s final goal two minutes later. After viewing several more lightning strikes and sensing the oncoming storm, the officials convened before the restart and decided to blow the final whistle Lake Forest, an 18 seed, will begin its playoff run with a matchup against Fremd in Palatine on Saturday, Oct. 15, while Loyola Academy, a 7 seed, will travel to Evanston to take on Taft on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
