Central stays hot in blistery conditions, defeats TP 2-0
All six Knights wins
on season are all
decided by shutout

goal of the season with eight
minutes to play in the first half
and senior teammate Alyte
Katilius came off the bench for
her first goal of the season in
the second half. The defense
and goalie Peyton Vecchiet recorded
the team’s sixth shutout
of the season as the Knights
improved to 6-2. The last time
the Knights had given up a
goal was March 20 against Minooka
– more than 400 game
minutes of shutout ball.
Meanwhile, Tinley Park fell
to 4-3 after opening the season
with four straight wins. Players
such as Carolina Carillo,
Lincoln-Way Central senior
Lauren Bulow was anxiously
awaiting word if she qualified
to get into the United States
Coast Guard Academy.
As a pleasant distraction
on Friday, March 31, Bulow
scored what turned out to
be the winning goal in a 2-0

SPEED, AGILITY, QUICKNESS AND STRENGTH TRAINING
Tinley Park’s Madison Krisch (left) and Lincoln-Way Central’s
Sarah Heimberg jostle for position in Central’s 2-0 victory on
Friday, March 31 in New Lenox. Jeff Vorva/22nd Century Media
earlier in the week and airline
problems forced her to
miss this game.
It appeared the Titans had
control of most of the match,
but couldn’t put the ball in
the net.
“We just can’t finish,” assistant
coach Michael Boniface
said. “We’re connecting
on our passes well and moving
the ball well. We’re manipulating
and taking control
of the middle of the field.
But we have to finish.’’
For the Knights, finishing
wasn’t a problem for Bulow,
but it was a nice surprise.
“Honestly, I had just
stepped onto the field and I
wasn’t expecting anything
great,” she said. “Kailie Novak
sent me the greatest ball
ever and I stepped in front of
the goalie and faked her out
and scored. It was my first
shot of the year.’’
Bulow said that if she
doesn’t make it into the
Coast Guard Academy, her
second option is to study and
play soccer at Joliet Junior
College.
Katilius said she has
started this season and was
moved to the bench for
a match against Mother
McAuley earlier in the week.
“This was kind of a redemption
thing for me,” Katilius
said. “This was showing
that I deserve playing time
and I deserve to play. That
was my mindset. I’m more of
a playmaker and I don’t get a
lot of shots so this felt good.’’
Central had games scheduled
against Stagg on Monday,
April 3, Homewood-
Flossmoor on Tuesday, April
4. The Knights host Normal
West, a Class 2A sectional
champion in 2016, on Saturday.
Tinley Park, which plays
no home games due to construction
of its field, was
scheduled to play Sandburg
on Saturday, April 1 and
visits Lemont on Thursday,
April 6, in a key SouthWest
Suburban Blue showdown.
