winnetkacurrent.com sports the winnetka current | April 25, 2019 | 35 Club Soccer Chicago Magic continues to see success despite loss of Academy status Nick Frazier Contributing Sports Editor Bato Radoncic had a simple mission in mind when he started the Chicago Magic in 2009. “The main goal of our program was to help the community get some soccer players into the organized programs, which will create a direct path to the colleges and pro,” Radoncic said. “But not just that, our goal is to create a competitive environment where the kids can grow with the game and then pursue it late on with their college careers and pro paths.” The club director of the Magic, Radoncic has seen almuni of the club soccer program reach the collegiate level and beyond. Seven of his athletes have committed to play college soccer this year, including Lake Forest College commits Joey Boduch and Patrick Limanowka. Most notably, Francesco Moore, a 2014 graduate of Highland Park High School, was drafted by the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer in January. That’s now over 90 former Chicago Magic playing at the collegiate level and four athletes playing professionally, including Emmanuel Sabbi, who was called up to the U-23 National Team in March. Radoncic, a Montenegro native with National Team experience, couldn’t be prouder of his program’s success, especially considering the program lost Academy status a few years ago. However, Radoncic notes that when the Magic had that status, athletes weren’t able to play for their high school teams. Now that the Magic no longer hold that Academy status, soccer players are able to play both club and high school soccer, and Radoncic gets to work with the community instead of against it. “It’s actually a win-win situation, because we are affiliated with Highland Park High School and Highland Park Park District, so we want to make sure that the community gets there first,” Radoncic said. Radoncic adds that on top of the three mandatory college showcases each year, the Magic participate in two extra showcases to get more eyes on the athletes. “We have the kids come from different towns as well, our main focus is our connection with the high school and developing local talent and making sure the local talent gets the full exposure in front of the college coaches,” Radoncic said. “We really want to push so they can get in front of the eyes of the colleges.” With so much highlevel soccer experience, Radoncic runs the training sessions are organizes the curriculum around the high school season. “We want to make sure that the workload is not high in the beginning,” Radoncic said. “You have to be stretched out, we broke the seasons up based on high school seasons and based on youth travel programs.” Magic teams have combined for 20 State Cups, five regional titles, and one national title in 2015. As the program prepares for tryouts in the first week of May, there’s no sign of the Magic slowing down. Loyola boys water polo with Misericordia patients. Loyola boys water polo twitter page Sports briefs Loyola boys water polo spends time with Misericordia patients The Loyola boys water polo team spent part of the April 13 afternoon playing with Misericordia residents in the Moore Center pool before celebrating Palm Sunday Mass with parents & members of the Misericordia family. Wieczorek named tournament MVP Loyola graduate David Wieczorek won MVP of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation’s volleyball tournament after leading Pepperdine to the title Saturday, April 20 and sealing an NCAA Tournament berth for the Waves. Gjertsen has huge game in Stanford women’s lacrosse comeback Stanford sophomore women’s lacrosse player Katherine Gjertsen, a New Trier graduate, scored a hat trick in the Cardinal’s 13-12 comeback win over Colorado April 12. Gjertsen’s sixth hat trick of the season included the game-tying goal with 5:55 left, go-ahead goal with 3:32 to go and the game-winner with five seconds remaining in overtime. Gjertsen has 34 goals this season and has scored in 14 of the 15 games she’s played in. Hockey From Page 39 had beat them, especially in the last National Championships,” Thomas said. “You’d walk into a rink and everyone would just know there’s the Mission. They’re the team to beat. “Teams would always have their good games against us which would push us to be better.” Nine of the 20 girls on this year’s roster, including Smith and Thomas, played on last year’s championship team as well. That, along with having the same coaches for both title runs helped Mission this season. A big difference between last year’s squad and this year’s squad is last year’s team was more of a high-scoring bunch, while this year’s team was made up of more of bluecollar types of players who did everything for the team. “This year I’d say it was more exciting because overall last year were more of a highscoring team,” Smith said. “But this year was more like a group effort and everybody had their own part.” To get to the title game though, the team had to play roughly 80 or more games, win the state tournament and then the district tournament. For many of the girls, like Smith, this is all at the same time as the Illinois high school girls hockey season is going on. Some players will go from a practice for club straight to a game for their high school or have to go out of state for a tournament the day after playing in a high school game. It can get taxing for players. “High school hockey is really understanding in that it allows us to do club hockey over our high school,” Smith said. “I’ve gotten off a plane before, gotten in the car and gone straight to play in a game.” At the national tournament, Mission had to play one game a day for three days in pool play and then the quarterfinals and semifinals in the same day, with the finals the following day. Mission’s quarterfinal matchup with the Boston Jr. Eagles went to overtime, but the Chicago squad was able to pull out the 3-2 win. That was followed up by a 7-5 semifinal-win over the Bay State Breakers. Mission was used to play extra-time games at nationals, as last year the team played in a triple-overtime game in the quarterfinals. “The excitement from winning that overtime..the excitement definitely carried over (to the semis) but we definitely realized that we did this last year, we have to reset,” Thomas, who joined Mission prior to the 2017-18 season, said about this year’s quarterfinal. For many Mission players, like Smith, they jump right back into high school sports. Smith is a goalie on the Loyola girls lacrosse team, a total change from her forward position in hockey. She feels it’s really helped her improve not only her lacrosse skills, but also hockey skills as well. “(As a goalie) I can see what’s going on down the entire field which also gives me the perspective of trying to keep my head up in hockey more,” she said. “It makes my vision better on the ice.”
