32 | September 27, 2018 | The glencoe anchor sports glencoeanchor.com Alumni Spotlight Enrietto’s recovery leads to big freshman season Michael Wojtychiw Sports Editor Katie Enrietto had never faced an injury more serious than a sprained ankle, so when she tore her anterior cruciate ligament during her senior season at Loyola, ending her final girls lacrosse season, it was something the Winnetka resident had never experienced. The injury kept the now-University of Notre Dame sophomore sidelined until the following lacrosse season, her first as a collegiate player. In fact, she wasn’t fully cleared to play until the preseason. “It was amazing,” Enrietto said about her return to the field. “Everyone always talks about the transition to the college game. I felt that the speed and intensity at the college game didn’t surprise me. I was ready for that. The biggest area of growth for me was managing everything in rehab for my ACL, and then also just learning how to be a college freshman.” Choosing the South Bend, Ind. school was an easy one for Enrietto, as she was a legacy at the school. Her mom and aunt went there and her grandpa and uncle both hold multiple degrees from the school as well. “I had always grown up around Notre Dame,” she said. “Then as I started visiting schools, it had everything I wanted in a college. It was far enough away from home, but at the same time, it’s only an hour and a half drive away. It’s a Catholic school, which was really important to me. It’s at the top in both academics and athletics. “At the end of the day, Notre Dame is really about community. There’s nothing like the Notre Dame family. From the moment you step on campus the first week of freshman year, it’s a tangible feeling.” Enrietto said she didn’t even think she was going to get an offer from the school until a conversation with the coach, which she thought was going to go the other way, ended with the coach offering the former Loyola star a spot on the squad. Transitioning to the college game, as well as having to deal with rehab from a major injury and trying to adjust to college life can be difficult, more so than for students who aren’t a collegiate athlete. The time off though helped her become a better player and help her adjust faster than she thought she would have, She also felt it helped her grow both as a player and a person. “I think that my growth came in two different areas. I think one was being out for so long that really it becomes a mental game. It was just learning Notre Dame sophomore Katie Enrietto, a Loyola graduate, looks to pass to a teammates during her freshman season this past spring. Submitted by Notre Dame Athletics that mental toughness,” she said. “Second, I had to breakdown every little step, over and over again. With an ACL tear, you have to relearn how to walk, and then you relearn how to run. Also, I had to break my game down into little pieces and just keep building. I really had to re-learn all the fundamentals.” For the complete story, visit GlencoeAnchor.com. This Week In...

glencoeanchor.com sports the glencoe anchor | September 27, 2018 | 33 Football New Trier starts league play with convincing win Boys golf Weber’s hole-in-one leads Trevians to HP quad title Michael Wojtychiw Sports Editor After finishing nonconference play by winning its final two games and going 3-1 for the first time since the Mid-Suburban League and Central Suburban League started their annual crossover, New Trier was looking to start off conference play on a good note. The Trevians got exactly what they needed when they traveled to Skokie Friday, Sept. 21, to face winless Niles West in both teams’ Central Suburban League South opener. The visitors went home happy after a 59-0 win. “This one was important because a lot of New Trier teams in the past have struggled with coming on the road in Week 1 with a big game coming up,” New Trier coach Brian Doll said. “It gets a little messy and maybe we win the game, but it doesn’t feel clean. Today was a clean win for us, we won all three aspects of the game.” A big reason for the easy win was the return of running back Brian Sitzer. The senior had been out with a sprained ankle injury suffered in the first quarter of the Trevians’ Week 2 loss to Loyola. “It’s huge having him back,” Doll said. “Last week we kept him out as a precautionary measure and it was big for us to get him back. Next week we get some of our big linebackers back and that’s going to help us a lot.” NEW TRIER VS. NILES WEST 1 2 3 4 F NT 21 24 0 14 59 NW 0 0 0 0 0 Top Performers 1. Brian Sitzer, RB – 76 rushing yards on 7 carries, 3 touchdowns. 2. Carson Ochsenhirt, QB – 61-yard rushing touchdown. 2 passing touchdowns. 3. New Trier defense – The defense forced three first-half turnovers en route to a shutout. Sitzer finished the game with 76 yards and touchdown runs of 1, 13 and 36 yards on seven carries in about a quarter-and-a-halfof play. “I was prepared for today, I was at every practice so I knew the new offense and schemes we put in and I was just ready to go,” he said. Sitzer wasn’t the only one to have a big game though, as quarterback Carson Ochsenhirt burned the Wolves with both his arm and legs. Aided by great field position — five of New Trier’s seven firsthalf possessions started in Niles West territory — Ochsenhirt threw touchdown passes of 11 and 35 yards to Carson Kosanovich and also ran for a 61- yard score as well. It wasn’t all about the offense though, as the Trevians defense forced three turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble), all of which led to first-half touchdowns. “Our defense stepped up,” Doll said. “We pretty much had all our linebackers out tonight, so we played with some different linebackers, with a sophomore that we moved up. “The big thing now is that our secondary is intact. With Donovan (Perkins) returning, that’s a lot of speed and really hard to get around the corner on us. Carson Kosanovich has a lot of speed too but those are two corners with a lot of varsity games under belt and they’re playing really well.” Playing in a blowout such as this one allowed the Trevians to play its backups, while also allowing their starters to rest up for the following week’s matchup with Evanston. And those backups responded. Thomas Criswell, who made his debut in last week’s win over Palatine, scored on a secondhalf touchdown run of 30 yards, while Henry Thinnes scampered in from 21 yards out. “A lot of these guys work so hard in practice and deserve to play,” Sitzer said. “It’s awesome to watch them. We all put in the work, we all support each other and it’s awesome to see everyone get in and do very well today.” David Jaffe Freelance Reporter It was a special day for New Trier golfer Sam Weber during the Trevians’ quad with host Highland Park, Lake Forest and Loyola Academy at Sunset Valley Golf Course. And it wasn’t only because he carded a two-under par 34 which tied him for the lowest score of the day. Weber sunk a hole-inone on the fourth hole giving him a highlight he’ll never forget. “Right before me on that hole, someone hit it into the water,” Weber said. “I knew it would be a tough pin. So I tried to play it safe. But I ultimately was more aggressive than I initially was planning on. When I hit it, I thought it was short. It was very shocking and definitely a good experience.” Even though he was surprised, Weber thought beforehand it might be a possibility. “It was definitely gettable. I had been hitting the ball well all day,” Weber said. “If I hadn’t seen a shot go in the water, I would have felt great about that hole in general. But I hit it the way I needed to for that to happen.” But Weber had a strong all-around day besides the hole-in-one. And he feels it’s due to a particular part of his game getting better. “My ballstriking has been good all year. I’ve been hitting it well off the tee,” Weber said “My putting wasn’t always where New Trier’s Eddie Seil watches his shot fly down the golf course Thursday, Sept. 20, in Highland Park. Brittany Kapa/22nd Century Media it needed to be but lately that aspect of my game has been starting to click. I got up and down if I didn’t get it on the green. I sank some long putts. So I feel like that helped me.” The Trevians had an extremely strong performance winning the quad with 139 strokes. Charlie Creamean also carded a 34 while Daniel Tanaka had a 35 and Michael Rudnick shot a 36. Loyola shot a 157 led by Jack Crawshaw’s par 36. “I hit the ball off the tee well,” Crawshaw said. “I had some bad putts that prevented me from doing better. Two or three threeputts on the day. I didn’t go up and down for birdies as much as I should have.” His focus the next few weeks will be trying to play his best while also helping his team. “I’m hitting the ball off the tee box the way I want to,” Crawshaw said. “I think at this point, it’s just about keeping my head straight. Whatever I do, I will want to help my team as much as I can and I’ll have to make sure I play my game.” Patrick Adler had a 39 while Peter Radler and Ryan Savarie had 41’s. When Highland Park’s Jared Grossmann gets to a certain point on his home course of Sunset Valley, things tend to go well for him after that. But they went well for him all nine holes as he carded a one-under par 35. “Usually when I get past the fifth hole, I get into the zone,” Grossmann said. “But today right from the start, I played well and was able to carry that over.” Grossmann really enjoys playing at Sunset Valley, especially since the course recently underwent renovations. “I have a lot of good memories playing at this course,” Grossmann said. “I always want to play my best here. It’s a fun course and they did a really good job with the renovations. It’s a special place to play.” The Giants were second with 147 strokes.
