At the end of every boys soccer season, 22nd Century Media scours through stories, stat
sheets and reporters’ notebooks to compile its Team 22 All-Star lineup.
The team features student athletes from Lincoln-Way Central, Lincoln-Way West, Lincoln-
Way East, Providence Catholic, Andrew, Tinley Park, Lockport Township and Sandburg
high schools.

nearly doubled his scoring

MidFielderS
Cory Pitlik, junior, LW East
17 goals, 9 assists. All-

made him an elite player in
2018.
deFenderS
First team
Jacob Dirienzo, junior, LW
East
All-Sectional, All-SWSC Blue.

Goalkeeper
Jayson Iniguez, senior,

His ability to score and
set up his teammates was
valuable to the Porters’
15-3 season.

Vidican was a game-changer
who could create a scoring
opportunity out of nothing.
His contribution was needed
after the Celtics graduated
two 30-goal scorers.

Sandburg
11 shutouts, 0.65 goals
against average. All-

Lockport improved his goal
and assist totals from last
year’s All-State season.

17 goals, 7 assists. All-
Sectional, All-SWSC Blue.
His speed and his strong
shot was a dangerous
combination for area
opponents.
Nolan McGrath, senior, LW
West
15 goals, 9 assists. All-
SWSC Red. The Warriors
captain was the go-to guy
when they needed a score.
Reads the game extremely
well.
Tim Moriarty, senior, Tinley
Park
All-Sectional, All-SSC.
While the Titans are
a high-scoring team,
Moriarty kept things in
order on the back end the
last two years.
Tom McPeek, senior,
Andrew
All-Sectional, All-SWSC Red.
The T-Bolts only scored
nine goals this season, but
they were still competitive
