54 | April 19, 2018 | The winnetka Current sports winnetkacurrent.com New Trier defense shuts down Loyola Michael Wojtychiw Sports Editor New Trier may have started off the season slowly, dropping its first two matches, but has started to turn things around. The Trevians won six of its next seven games leading up to the Friday, April 13 matchup against rival Loyola Academy. The Trevians swept the Ramblers 25-17, 25-22 in Wilmette. “Our blocking has improved a lot since the beginning of the season,” New Trier’s Tennessee Fulks said. “We really worked on closing the block, especially with the pin hitters.” Volleyball is a game of runs and the match between the two rivals saw plenty of them. After Peter Brown broke an early 9-all tie in the first set, the Trevians went on a 6-1 run to give the visitors a 16-10 lead, one that the Ramblers wouldn’t be able to recover from. Following his tie-breaking kill, Brown had two more kills in the run, giving him three of his five kills in the set. “I’m really proud of how our guys played,” New Trier coach Sue Ellen Haak said. “This is a tough place to play. We’ve got a lot of young players who have settled in. “Our middles had a big day.” Much like the first set, it was an early run that dictated the second set, as the Trevians started off the set on fire, getting off to a 6-1 lead thanks to three Loyola errors and two aces. “In the second set, it’s all about consistency, “Loyola coach Lionel Ebeling said. “In the second set, we got down big early and then we settled down. We need to become more consistent. “Men’s volleyball is an offensive game. You’ve got to be able to put the ball away. Eight kills for the match and hitting negative isn’t going to do it. But you have to credit New Trier, they played some good defense.” Loyola was able to get the deficit to three twice, 10-7 and 13-10, but New New Trier’s Joe D’Attomo (10) looks to block Loyola’s Nick Howard during a match Friday, April 13, in Wilmette. Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media Trier went on a 6-1 run giving them a 19-11 lead, forcing Ebeling to call a timeout. However, the Trevians would extend the lead to 24-16 and it looked like the match would soon be over. The Ramblers had different ideas though, as they held off six match points, forcing Haak to call a timeout with her team up 24-20. “We talked about adjusting our serve receive, passing well there in end the end,” Haak said. “We just made some mistakes there at the end.” Loyola would score two more points out of the timeout, but it wouldn’t be enough as Fulks (6 kills) got a kill to end the match. “We started playing better defense and setting better blocks,” Ebeling said. “You combine that with some offense and good things will happen. “New Trier got a lot of touches on balls, especially Please see BVB, 53 BRATSCHI PLUMBING Loosen jar lids.

winnetkacurrent.com sports the winnetka current | April 19, 2018 | 55 Softball Trevians survive Titans comeback attempt 22ND CENTURY MEDIA file photo 1st-and-3 THREE STARS OF THE WEEK 1. Anthony Calarco (above). The Trevians senior baseball player led the Trevians to a 3-0 record last week, driving in eight, hitting two home runs, including a grand slam, and picking up a save. 2. Lucy Murray and Claudia Shevitz. The New Trier girls lacrosse players led the Trevians to a 3-1 week, including two wins in California. Murray finished the week with 12 goals and eight assists, while Shevitz had 11 goals. 3. Maggie Avery. The Loyola soccer goalkeeper shut out Lake Forest in a pool-play game of the Malnati’s Deep Dish Classic. Michal Dwojak Contributing Sports Editor Glenbrook South seemed like it was going to pull off the unthinkable against New Trier on April 10 — twice. The Titans put a scare into the Trevains when they reduced an eight-run deficit down to one in a span of half an inning late into their game, but the young GBS squad couldn’t pull off the improbable, losing 11-8 in both teams’ first conference game of the season. “I really loved the way our girls fought back,” Titans head coach Dana Boehmer said. “It just took us a while get going, but then Sevana Dombalagian got us going. It was awesome to see the girls have fight when we were down 8-0 and times were not looking good.” Those bad times started for the Titans when the first two New Trier batters reached base on an error and a single, respectively, before sophomore Elizabeth Fisher drove in one with a double and the second baserunner scored on a wild pitch. Fisher would score after Taylor Daniels drove her in on a single to give New Trier an early 3-0 lead. The Trevians added another run in the fourth to cushion the lead. New Trier’s Elisa Nettesheim delivers a pitch during her team’s win over Glenbrook South April 10, in Winnetka. Michal Dwojak/22nd Century Media It seemed like the three runs would be all the team needed based on the strong pitching performance of Elisa Nettesheim. The senior went through the Titans order twice, only allowing one hit and pitched three innings without allowing a baserunner. She also took the offense into her own hands when she hit a grand slam in the fifth inning to give New Trier an 8-0 lead, building upon her best performance of the season. “She’s starting to hit her groove,” New Trier head coach John Cadwell said. “We knew that she’s a good hitter. She didn’t get to hit as much as we wanted to last season. She can put the ball in play. As a pitcher, it was her best outing.” But it was during her third time through the lineup when the issues started to mount. Dombalagian singled to start the sixth and the next two batter reached base on walks before Maddie Kapsimalis cleared the bases with a triple. The Titans would add four more runs in the inning to cut the deficit to one run. New Trier responded the next inning when Fisher hit a two-run home run and Eleanor Knight added a solo shot. GBS attempted another comeback, scoring one run in the seventh and getting runners on base, but the Titans couldn’t match the heroics to finish the job. “We had two different games out there,” Cadwell said. “The first part of the game our pitching was good and dominant. She was hitting her spot and our hitting was right on today. … It’s important that we battled on. It showed some resilience.” That determination to stand tough against adversity is what the coach is looking for his young team. New Trier had a 3-5 record following the win against its conference opponent and saw some positives even though his team let go of an 8-0 lead. The pitching is improving and hitting its spots while he also thinks the hitting is blossoming. No matter how it looked, it was important to get that first conference in. “It was important,” Cadwell said. “This was our first conference game, it was a win, so it was a good start. We should’ve dominated it a little more than we did, but it was good for this group because they need the confidence. They’re still growing and learning.” For GBS, it’s learning how to fight back for such a young team. The team stands at 0-6 after its loss to New Trier, but Boehmer remains encouraged by the fight she sees from her players. The Titans are learning how to communicate at the varsity level and she admitted they might be timid and scared at times when faced with adversity. But with efforts like the one against New Trier, she won’t be surprised to see her team quickly make improvements as the season progresses. “We’re a young team,” Boehmer said. “We have four freshmen starting on our team, so it’s going to be a learning process. … It’s time to step up to a new level.” Listen Up “Our blocking has improved a lot since the beginning of the season.” Tennessee Fulks — New Trier boys volleyball player on what’s helped the bounce back from some early losses. tunE in What to watch this week GIRLS LACROSSE: The top two teams in the state face off on a Wednesday in Northfield. • New Trier hosts Loyola at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, in Northfield.
