A deceptive 11-10-1 regular<br />

season record in 2016<br />

may have had some teams<br />

counting the Lake Forest<br />

girls soccer team out heading<br />

into the playoffs. That<br />

was a foolish mistake.<br />

The Scouts captured<br />

their sixth straight regional<br />

championship before ultimately<br />

falling to state<br />

runner-up Deerfield, 3-1,<br />

in a sectional final.<br />

A season later, Lake<br />

Forest returns plenty of<br />

depth at key positions and<br />

has a lofty set of goals that<br />

coach Ty Stuckslager believed<br />

they could achieve<br />

in a question and answer<br />

session with The Leader.<br />

“We would love to win<br />

our seventh regional in a<br />

row, another Northern Suburban<br />

Conference crown<br />

and get to state,” Stuckslager<br />

said. “But most importantly<br />

we would love to<br />

have a team that exemplifies<br />

hard work, sportsmanship,<br />

and fun.”<br />

Last year’s most valuable<br />

player, Delaney Williams,<br />

returns this year a<br />

Showdown, TBD<br />

senior midfielder who solidifies<br />

the team on both<br />

sides of the ball. Williams<br />

had eight goals and eight<br />

assists in 2016.<br />

Senior captain Gwen Walker returns as part of a<br />

talented backfield that is looking to help the Scouts<br />

capture a seventh consecutive regional championship.<br />

“(Williams) has developed<br />

as an attacker and<br />

now has confidence and an<br />

extremely deadly accurate<br />

shot,” Stuckslager said.<br />

In the defensive third the<br />

Scouts will be well-served,<br />

despite losing four of their<br />

five starting defenders.<br />

They return senior captains<br />

Gwen Walker and Hannah<br />

Bell. whose leadership<br />

should help the Scouts solidify<br />

the back line.<br />
