Fired soccer coach sues Loyola Academy for false accusations, defamation 

Michal Dwojak 

Contributing Sports Editor 

Craig Snower, the former 

Loyola Academy girls 

soccer coach, is suing the 

Wilmette school for more 

than $250,000 in damages, 

according to a lawsuit 

filed Thursday, May 9, in 

the Cook County Circuit 

Court. 

In the lawsuit, Snower 

seeks to recover damages 

as a result of Loyola’s actions 

in his firing based on 

“false, unfound, unsubstantiated” 

accusations of 

sexual misconduct, recklessly 

and without reasonable 

cause reporting him to 

the police and the Department 

of Children and Family 

Services, defaming him 

in his professional reputation 

as a coach, while also 

“tortiously interfering with 

his contractual relationship 

with FC United Soccer 

Club.” 

In his suit filed by attorney 

Susan Bogart, Snower 

claims he has “hundreds 

of soccer players who attribute 

their success to his 

rigorous coaching” and 

that each of them can attest 

Snower has not made inappropriate 

sexual comments 

at any time during the years 

he coached them. 

The lawsuit comes over 

a year after the school fired 

Snower on May 10, 2018, 

over allegations of inappropriate 

or offensive comments 

toward team members. 

Snower had been the 

coach for the program since 

2004. 

According to the suit, 

former Loyola principal 

Kathryn Baal and thenathletic 

director Patrick 

Mahoney met with Snower 

and told him he was fired, 

citing complaints from students 

and parents, whom 

Loyola refused to identify. 

Baal provided two examples; 

the first being Snower 

fielded two teams to scrimmage, 

one called “virgins” 

and the other “non-virgins.” 

Snower called the allegation 

a rumor that circulated 

eight years before involving 

an FC United team. 

The second allegation 

was that Snower asked 

what a player would do if 

he touched her butt, a claim 

Snower again denied as 

a rumor circulated from 

an FC United team, not a 

Loyola team. 

According to the suit, 

Snower was not given a 

chance to defend himself 

and Baal said she wanted 

him to resign from FC 

United because of the 

amount of Loyola students 

competing with the club. 

Snower claimed there were 

no Loyola students on his 

teams, let alone high school 

students, to which Baal allegedly 

responded said 

she’d tell the club “what we 

have on you.” 

Mahoney and Baal allegedly 

met with the girls 

varsity soccer players after 

their meeting with Snower, 

where they told the players 

Snower had been fired and 

apologized for not acting 

sooner. 

Later that night, Baal allegedly 

reported Snower 

to the DCFS with “malice 

and reckless disregard 

to the truth” that he made 

“outrageous, suggestive 

comments” and other false 

statements to five players. 

Snower claims he was 

never given a chance to respond 

to. 

The next day, Snower 

met with Chad Gruen, 

owner and president SMP 

— FC United’s parent company 

— who allegedly told 

Snower he had no choice 

but to let him go. 

As The Beacon first reported, 

players met with 

Wilmette and Glenview 

police departments, where 

players commented on how 

Snower was a vulgar bully 

Craig Snower, the former varsity girls soccer coach at 

Loyola Academy, was fired in May 2018. 22nd Century 

Media File Photo 

and tyrant who maintained 

a “hot moms list,” told a 

player he would kick her 

“in the vagina” and constantly 

commented on 

players’ chest sizes. The 

suit claims that while some 

players asserted Snower 

made the comments, other 

players on the team made 

the comments. 

Because of this, Snower 

claimed in the suit that 

Loyola defamed him, lowered 

his reputation in the 

eyes of parents, players and 

the greater soccer community, 

which caused and deterred 

others from associating 

with him. 

Snower also claimed the 

accusations caused the Illinois 

Youth Soccer Association 

to disqualify him from 

all Illinois Youth Soccerrelated 

activities. 

Neither Loyola Academy 

nor Snower’s representatives 

could be reached for 

comment as of press time.

Freelance Reporter

Board welcomed two new 

trustees, while also bidding 

farewell to a pair of outgoing 

trustees at its Tuesday, 

May 14 meeting. 

Julie Wolf was elected 

trustee in April 2011. She 

served as the chair of the

Wolf will continue her service 

to the Village as chair 

of the Environmental and 

Energy Commission. 

“I’ve commented to everyone 

how well-balanced 

the board is,” Wolf said. 

“We don’t always agree 

but we find a way to work 

together. It really has been 

a pleasure working with all 

of you. The new board will 

be very strong and you’ll 

be able to continue some of 

the initiatives that are helping 

the Village so much.” 

Village President Bob 

Bielinski and Wolf began 

their service on the Village 

Board together in 2011 

when they were both elected 

trustee. 

“There’s sort of a certain 

special thing for me 

because you and I have 

served the whole time and 

I still remember some of 

the coffees that we attended 

together as a candidate 

and the like,” Bielinski 

said. “Thank you for your

Kenilworth celebrates 100 years of Memorial Day parades 

Alexa Burnell 


For the past 100 years, 

the threat of rain on the 

third Sunday in May has 

left many North Shore 

residents cursing the day, 

but not the folks in Kenilworth. 

They know full 

well that on that day, during 

the annual Memorial 

Day Parade, the clouds 

will part and the sun will 

shine, just in time to honor 

those who gave the ultimate 

sacrifice. 

While rumors have 

swirled for years as to the 

reason why Kenilworth 

holds its parade one week 

earlier than all other North 

Shore villages, Kenilworth 

Village President Ann Potter 

set the record straight. 

“One hundred years ago, 

the Kenilworth Memorial 

Parade came to be, as a 

request to have a ‘practice 

parade’ one week before 

Wilmette, Winnetka and 

other towns hosted their 

own parades. The trial run 

was a success and a tradition 

was born.” Potter said. 

Along with recognizing 

the parade’s centennial 

year, Potter gave her respects 

to Boy Scout Troop 

13, who simultaneously 

celebrated their 100th anniversary, 

playing a critical 

role in the parade from 

day one. 

“Civic engagement is 

what Troop 13 is all about. 

They give to this community 

in so many ways, including 

their commitment 

to this parade,” Potter said. 

“They lead a good example, 

teaching us all how 

important it is to engage in 

our community.” 

Next, resident Sue Cannon, 

a proud military 

mom, took to the podium, 

reading the names and 

ranks of all Kenilworth 

residents who have served. 

Boy Scout Troop 13 then 

raised both the Kenilworth 

and American flags and the 

Joseph Sears eighth-grade 

choir sang the National 

Anthem. 

Dr. Rev. Jason Parkin, of 

Holy Comforter, presented 

the Memorial address, encouraging 

all to reflect on 

the lyrics of the patriotic 

hymn. 

“We’ve heard the 

words of the National 

Anthem dozens of times, 

hundreds of time. As I 

prepared this address, I 

reflected on the patriotic 

songs of other countries, 

realizing that our Anthem 

is the only one that ends 

in question. These words 

remind us that our ultimate 

freedom is always 

an open-ended question. 

In order to remain the 

land of the free and the 

home of the brave, we 

need to constantly renew 

and maintain our appreciation 

for our freedom,” 

Parkin said. “Today, we 

gather to pay respect for 

those who died for our 

freedom, peace and justice. 

Let us all remember 

this sobering statisticsince 

the introduction 

of the National Anthem, 

1,345,000 people have 

lost their lives, while protecting 

our freedom.” 

After Parkin’s moving 

speech, Kenilworth Scouts 

Kenilworth adventurers (left to right) Carolina Conrad, 

8, Caroline Gottschall, 7, Sailor Martin, 8, Abigail Dixton, 

8, and Caroline Menton, 8, line up for the start of the 

parade. Rhonda Holcomb/22nd Century Media 

placed wreaths in honor of 

the fallen Kenilworth heroes 

and Jack Seminetta, 

of Troop 13, played Taps. 

Dr. Katie Lancaster, of 

Kenilworth Union Church, 

gave the Benediction, referencing 

words from an 

emotional song.

Newly opened Wilmette Eye Care treats patients like family 

Hilary Anderson 


The eyes have a new 

friend. 

It is Wilmette’s Eye 

Care, operated by optometrist 

Dr. Andrew Kohn O.D. 

He recently opened an office 

in downtown Wilmette 

at 1125 Greenleaf Ave. 

“I was in practice for 

about 10 years and decided 

to open my own office,” 

Kohn said. “I grew up in 

Wauwatosa, Wis. and was 

looking for an established 

community in the Chicago 

area that while urban still 

had a strong community 

feeling. Building a good 

practice was important to 

me but finding one where 

I could grow it with family 

loyalty from the residents 

was important. After looking 

around, I found Wilmette 

to be such a place.” 

Kohn is the first in his 

immediate family to select 

eye care as his profession. 

“My dad is a criminal 

defense attorney and my 

mother is a teacher,” he 

said. “I was drawn to this 

profession where I could 

help people and make a 

positive impact. Eye care 

over the years has not had 

the best history and yet we 

are so reliant on our eyes 

and vision. I want to make 

a positive difference in 

people’s lives.” 

Kohn continued that his 

optometric practice has the 

“human” component and 

patients are not just a chart 

number. 

“My patients are pleasantly 

surprised to find they 

are not faceless individuals 

who are pushed through 

the office like a cog in a 

machine,” he said. “When 

people come here, they 

feel like family. They are 

excited to tell us what is 

going on in their lives and 

we enjoy hearing about 

their activities. I think they 

also will be amazed to see 

all the high-tech equipment 

we have in the office. One 

of them is a retinal camera, 

which can take photos 

of the inside of a patient’s 

eyes and that will help detect 

eye diseases and others 

[diseases].” 

Yet another reason he 

chose Wilmette to establish 

his practice is because of its 

emphasis on recycling and 

going green. 

“I frequently looked at 

the Go Green Wilmette 

website before making 

my decision and was impressed 

with all the things 

residents were doing to 

recycle and help the environment,” 

Kohn said. “I 

still am amazed at all the 

sustainable activities to reduce 

carbon footprints in 

the community.” 

His office has a recycling 

program for contact lenses. 

“I want to keep contact 

lenses out of the trash,” 

Kohn said. “People not 

only can throw out their old 

contact lenses but also the 

blister packs and cardboard 

packaging in which they 

come. This can be especially 

good for those who 

daily wear disposable contact 

lenses. We send them 

to One by One, a recycling 

company.” 

Giving back to the community 

is important to Dr. 

Kohn. He serves as president 

of the Illinois chapter 

of VOSH — Volunteer 

Optometric Services to Humanity. 

“I am passionate about 

volunteering and giving 

back to the community,” 

he said. “The organization, 

VOSH, provides eye care 

to underserved populations 

in Honduras, Mexico and 

Haiti among others. Domestically 

we work with

homeless shelters.” 

Both Kohn and his wife, 

Jennifer who also is an optometrist, 

volunteer time 

visiting, fitting and providing 

glasses for those living 

in countries like Honduras 

and Haiti where the poverty 

is great. 

“People barely have the 

wherewithal to buy food 

let alone get glasses so they 

can see better,” he said. 

“Frame and glass companies 

sometimes donate 

glasses. We also accept 

donations of old glasses 

from patients and the public. 

They can drop them off 

here at our office any time.” 

Kohn also volunteers 

with the Blind Service Association, 

which provides 

reading and writing services 

for those living in the 

Chicago area. Dr. Kohn has 

served as a board member 

since 2015. 

Kohn graduated from the 

University of Wisconsin at 

Madison with a bachelor’s 

degree in biology and later 

attended Indiana University 

School of Optometry, where 

he obtained his doctorate 

and met his wife, Jennifer. 

“I think you will find it to 

be a good experience coming 

to our office,” he said. 

“You can make an appointment 

online or call us.”

Wilmette Park Board 


Outgoing commissioners attend final meeting 

Todd Marver 


A quartet of veteran 

Wilmette Park Board 

commissioners attended 

their final meeting on 

Monday, May 13. The 

board bid farewell to four 

commissioners including 

Stephanie Foster, Shelley 

Shelly, John Olvany 

and Ryrie Pellaton. Foster 

has served on the park 

board since May 2015. 

During her time in office, 

she has been a member 

and chair of the Facilities 

Operations and Golf Operations 

Committees. She 

has also been a member 

of the Lakefront Committee, 

Parks and Recreation 

Committee and Intergovernmental 

Cooperation 

Committee. 

“She’s been so thoughtful 

and has given us such 

great guidance and perspective 

when it comes 

to all the projects we’ve 

worked on,” board president 

Amy Wolfe said. 

“She’s not afraid to stand 

up for what she knows is 

right and to do the right 

thing, even when it’s been 

hard. I’m so thankful for 

all your hard work on this 

board and you will definitely 

be missed.” 

Olvany has served on 

the park board since September 

2011. During his 

time in office, he has been 

a member and chair of the 

Financial Planning and 

Policy Committee, Golf 

Operations Committee 

and Real Estate Committee. 

He has also been a 

member of the Lakefront 

Committee, Parks and 

Recreation Committee 

and Facilities Operations 

Committee. He has also 

served as both president 

and vice president of the 

board during his time in 

office. 

“We also would like to 

thank him for all of his 

service,” Wolfe said. “He 

always pushed us to be 

better and think of creative 

ways to come up 

with a solution. He was 

such a hard worker when 

it came to everything on 

the park district and he 

will greatly be missed.” 

Pellaton has served on 

the board since May 2015. 

During his time in office, 

he has been a member and 

chair of the Lakefront and 

Facilities Operations Committees. 

He has also been a 

member of the Financial 

Planning and Policy Committee, 

Parks and Recreation 

Committee, Golf 

Operations Committee and 

Real Estate Committee. 

“We would like to thank 

Ryrie for his four long 

years of service,” Wolfe 

said. “Especially all of 

the hard work he did on 

the Lakefront Committee 

leading that charge, sitting 

through lots of long 

meetings and just being so 

calm and taking in everybody’s 

perspective. And 

keeping us on task, keeping 

us on budget and always 

giving a thoughtful 

response to everyone.” 

Shelley Shelly, the outgoing 

vice president of 

the board, has served on 

the park board since May 

2011. During her time 

in office, she has been 

a member and chair of 

the Parks and Recreation 

Committee, Facilities Operations 

Committee, Lakefront 

Committee and Real 

Estate Committee. She 

has also been a member 

of the Intergovernmental 

Cooperation Committee 

and Centennial Operations 

Committee. Gordon 

Anderson replaces Shelly 

as vice president, while 

Wolfe remains president. 

“(Shelly) has been such 

a wonderful vice president,” 

Wolfe said. “She’s 

been such a great sounding 

board to me and to everyone 

on the board. She 

always had such great out 

of the box solutions. She 

always came up with great 

solutions to problems and 

always gave wonderful 

perspective and has 

worked tirelessly on lakefront 

and everything else 

she’s done here.” 

In addition to saying 

goodbye to four commissioners, 

the board also welcomed 

four new commissioners 

who were elected 

April 2 including Mike 

Murdock, Julia Goebel, 

Cecilia Clarke and Todd 

Shissler. Executive Director 

Steve Wilson administered 

the quartet’s oath 

of office. Murdock previously 

served on the park 

board from 2009-2013, 

while Goebel, Clarke and 

Shissler made their board 

debut.

“His experience really 

let him hit the ground 

running,” Bielinski said. 

“While he was only a 

member for a year, I think 

you made significant contributions

into the spot and serve one 

more time for the Village,

that.”

resident of 

Kenilworth, 

was named 

a 2019 U.S. 

Presidential 

Scholar this 

Noel 

month, one of the nation’s 

highest honors for high 

school students. On June 

23, he will attend a White 

House-sponsored ceremony 

in Washington D.C., 

where he’ll receive a Presidential 

Scholar medal. 

“I’m getting the award, 

but I’m a product of New 

Trier: my teachers, friends, 

and the community,” Noel 

said. “I’m very thankful.” 

According to the U.S. 

Department of Education, 

the U.S. Presidential 

Scholars Program was established 

in 1964 by executive 

order of the President 

to recognize and honor 

some of the country’s most

high school seniors. Scholars 

are selected based on 

their academic success, artistic 

and technical excellence, 

essays, school evaluations 

and transcripts, as

Regina students advance to 

finals of national history contest 

Submitted by Regina 

Dominican High School 


Regina Dominican High 

School has several students 

who successfully competed 

in the Chicago Metro History 

Fair and have qualified 

to advance to the National 

History Day Contest this 

June in Maryland. 

The National History 

Day Contest encourages 

more than half a million 

students around the world to 

conduct historical research 

on a topic of their choice. 

Students enter these 

projects at the local level 

(here it is at the Chicago 

Metro History Fair), with 

top students advancing to 

the National Contest at the 

University of Maryland at 

College Park. From each 

state only two entries from 

the 10 categories compete 

in the Nationals. 

Regina Dominican sophomore 

Anne Berg qualified 

with her entry in the 

Documentary category, 

titled The WPA School 

Mural Project: A Missed 

Educational Opportunity. 

The film explores the impact 

and contribution of 

the WPA (Works Progress 

Administration) Art project 

and the fact that so 

few schools leveraged the 

works (which they housed 

and do still today) as a tool 

to teach students about that 

era and the impact the initiative 

had on our nation’s 

culture and growth. 

Sophomores Grace 

Langfels, Kayla Smith, 

Maggie Stutz and Mia 

Touhy will also be headed 

to the National History Day 

contest for their entry in the 

Performance category titled

A Word From The (Former) President 


Refugees need more than just being ‘let in’ 

John Jacoby 

Contributing Columnist 

Last Memorial Day, 

I told the inspiring 

story of Wilmette 

residents Margaret and 

Alfred Abeles. Their son, 

Beecher, a P-38 fighterbomber 

pilot, was shot 

down and killed as World 

War II neared its end. The 

Abeles honored Beecher 

by creating a living 

memorial: they sponsored 

a War refugee to live at 

their home and receive 

the higher education they 

had planned for Beecher. 

Members of Wilmette’s 

Congregational Church 

rallied around this idea, 

and the outcome was a 

program that provided 

housing, employment, 

and educational help for 

hundreds of refugees. 

Several months ago, I 

met a beneficiary of this 

program — Wilmette resident 

Tibor Ipavic. He told 

me about his parents, Teodor 

and Fanči. In 1941, 

when the Axis invaded 

the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, 

Teodor, a Slovenia 

native, was a 28-year-old 

member of the Royal 

Yugoslav Air Force. He 

joined the resistance when 

the Kingdom surrendered 

shortly after the invasion. 

Fanči was a 14-year-old 

girl living in Bosnia. The 

fighting forced her family 

to relocate to Slovenia in 

1943. 

Marshal Tito came to 

power after the War and 

unified Yugoslavia as a 

totalitarian communist regime. 

As the years passed, 

Teodor worked at an art 

museum and learned the 

craft of art restoration. 

Fanči was an opera singer. 

They became a couple 

after their first marriages 

ended in divorce. Fanči 

was desperate to escape 

the suppression and depravation 

that prevailed under 

Tito. In 1952, an opportunity 

arose. Teodor had 

papers that allowed him to 

travel to Austria. Without 

telling family members 

about their plans, they 

crossed the border and 

became refugees. 

The U.S., Canada, and 

Australia were accepting 

refugees from communist 

countries. The relocation 

process was supposed to 

take three months, but 

Teador and Fanči’s applications 

were lost for 

three years. Meanwhile, 

in 1955, the two were 

married. They lived in 

a Graz apartment with 

another family, and their 

first daughter was born. 

Teodor was able to scratch 

out a small income, barely 

enough to survive. They 

were harassed by Austrian 

officials who were inhospitable 

to Slavs crossing 

their border. 

Their time finally came. 

The IpavIc family arrived 

in Wilmette in October 

1956, sponsored by the 

Congregational Church. 

They spoke no English. 

Unknown to the Church 

members awaiting their 

arrival at the train station, 

the birth of their son, 

Tibor, was imminent. The 

family briefly stayed with 

the Abeles, while Dr. Alvah 

Newcomb, a Church 

member and pediatrician 

at Evanston Hospital, arranged 

for Fanči’s medical 

care. 

The Church provided an 

apartment for the family 

in Evanston. They learned 

English. Fanči worked at 

Bennison’s Bakery. Teodor 

worked at Newcomb- 

Macklin Co., an art shop 

in Chicago. In 1962, with 

financial assistance from 

another Church member, 

Robert Muir, they 

purchased a home at 219 

Third Street, Wilmette. 

In 1963, a third child was 

born. In 1964, they became 

citizens, and Teodor 

opened his own framing 

and restoration business at 

424 Linden Avenue. The 

generosity and support 

of the Congregational 

Church enabled the Ipavic 

family to escape misery, 

become independent, and 

contribute to their adopted 

country.

Since becoming editor 

of The Wilmette 

Beacon in 2015, one 

of my annual tasks has 

been to put together the 

list of the brave men and 

women from Wilmette 

and Kenilworth that died 

in battle in a number of 

different wars. 

The list is made up of 

131 heroes that died in 

the Civil War, Spanish- 

American War, World War 

I, World War II, Korean 

War, Vietnam War and 

Lebanon Expedition. 

Back when our country 

fought in the Gulf War 

(1990-1991), I was nearing 

the end of my high school 

career and not sure what 

I wanted to do in college. 

Being the grandson of a 

World War II veteran, the 

military was a possibility. 

The combination of being 

proud of my grandfather 

and the patriotic fervor in 

the country at the time resulted 

in me heading down 

to the military recruitment 

office to learn a little more. 

While there, I spoke with 

a recruiter and took a 

generic written test. I even 

scheduled to come back 

and take a physical the following 

week. I never made 

it back. I’m not afraid to 

say I got scared and didn’t 

go through with it. 

In the years that have 

followed that decision, 

my pacifist views have 

become greater, but so 

has my admiration for our 

troops, especially those 

who gave the ultimate sacrifice 

on the battlefield. 

This year, The Beacon 

covered the annual 

Kenilworth Memorial 

Day Parade last weekend 

(Page 4). This is always 

an important annual 

event on the calendar for 

residents of the village 

and beyond. We’ll also 

be in downtown Wilmette 

10:30 a.m. Monday, May 

27, for the parade and 

service there. 

While many will 

celebrate Memorial Day 

weekend with barbecues, 

fireworks and other fun 

activities, it’s important 

to always remember what 

the true meaning of the 

holiday is.

Letters to the Editor 

Treblinka was an 

extermination camp 

I read John Jacoby’s 

article (May 2 edition) 

in which he noted that J. 

Marion Gutnayer’s father 

was sent to Treblinka Concentration 

Camp. The substance 

of the article is interesting 

but I believe that 

it is very important to call 

Treblinka exactly what it 

was — an extermination 

camp! Yes, people were 

concentrated there but they 

were concentrated there 

specifically for the purpose 

of extermination. 

I realize that concentration 

camp is the description 

we learned to call 

the enormous number of 

camps and sub-camps in 

the Hitler’s horror show 

but Treblinka, Sobibor, 

and Belzec were only for 

extermination and it is vital 

that we use the most 

accurate description possible.

of refugees to be resettled 

in America -- people from 

countries like Afghanistan 

and Syria who can’t 

return to their homeland 

“because of persecution 

or a well-founded fear of 

persecution”. However, 

many resettled refugees 

flounder because the U.S. 

government “just dumps 

them in communities” 

with inadequate funding 

and support. But there’s 

hope. Together, the Wilmette 

Rotary Club and 

Northwestern University 

have created a pilot program 

to demonstrate how 

refugees, with planning, 

mentoring, and support, 

can successfully move 

from “short-term survival 

to long-term success.” The 

Club donated $7,000 to 

fund the pilot and created 

a 501(c)(3) organization 

called “COMPASS” 

(an acronym) for future 

fundraising. NU Professor 

Galya Ben-Arieh created 

the “Refugee Knowledge 

Hub” to coordinate all 

types of assistance. Three 

local refugee families are 

participating in the pilot. 

The Club hopes that it 

will be successful and 

will serve as a model for 

other clubs throughout the 

country.

Crossword by Myles Mellor and Susan Flanagan

wilmettebeacon.com LIFE & ARTS 



Annual show utilizes iconic music to showcase skaters 

Alexa Burnell 


Anyone suffering from 

a case of the blues found 

an uplifting antidote at 

the 44th annual Wilmette 

Park District Ice Show 

held May 17-19 at Centennial 

Rink in Wilmette. 

This year’s show, “La 

Dolce Vita,” was conceived 

on the belief that 

everyone can benefit by 

listening to some of the 

most iconic music while 

watching local youth 

skate the weekend away. 

The show’s director, 

Vickie Tassone, explained 

how the theme for the beloved 

yearly tradition usually 

comes after several 

brainstorming sessions 

among coworkers. This 

year, with all the troubling 

news making the 

headlines, the gang collectively 

agreed that their 

primary objective was to 

get the audience dancing 

in their seats, leaving the 

production feeling happier 

than ever. 

“[The show] is all about 

fun. There is no pressure 

for the skaters other than 

to have a great time and 

showcase their skills. 

For the audience, it’s all 

about getting lost in the 

music and artistry,” Tassone 

said. “The songs we 

selected represent different 

times in one’s life 

that were positive, light 

and memorable. We have 

some childhood favorites 

mixed in with songs 

that embrace that teenage 

angst, like ‘My Generation.’” 

For Wilmette skater Katie 

Bielinski, a sophomore 

at Loyola Academy, the 

chance to unwind on the 

ice and have some fun 

with fellow athletes is the 

best part of the show. 

“This is definitely the 

most fun skating event 

and also the most supportive. 

All skaters, of all abilities 

and ages, cheer one 

another on, excited to put 

on a great performance together,” 

Bielinski said. 

For competitive skaters 

like Dylan Podvalny, 10, 

of Glencoe, the chance 

to kick back and relax 

at a performance after a 

string of competitions this 

winter, was a welcomed 

break. He placed at sectionals 

in February, giving 

him the opportunity 

to skate in group and solo 

performances during the 

ice show. Podvalny skated 

to “My Generation” and 

“Rich Life” in a group 

format and also wowed 

the audience with his solo 

performance to James 

Brown’s “I feel Good,” 

enjoying the chance to let 

the music move him. 

“I love the ice show, 

because there is no competition. 

It’s just all about 

having fun and skating for 

the love of it,” he said. 

Podvalny‘s little sister, 

Ornella, 8, also skated at 

the ice show, sharing that 

putting a smile on the face 

of the audience is the best 

part. 

“I love this show because 

it is not stressful,” 

she said. “My favorite 

part is knowing that we 

are entertaining people 

with fun songs and great 

skating.”

New name of merged Wilmette churches announced 

Hilary Anderson 


Wilmette’s St. Joseph 

and St. Francis Xavier parishes 

soon will unite and 

have a new name. 

The two parishes formally 

will become one 

entity July 1 and be called 

Saints Joseph and Francis 

Xavier. 

“I received word yesterday, 

May 14, from Cardinal 

Blasé’ Cupich that he 

has chosen a name, based 

on the feedback and input 

from our parishioners 

from both churches sent 

to him,” said Rev. Wayne 

Watts, pastor of St. Joseph 

Church, who will serve as 

pastor for the unified parishes. 

Rev. William Netstraeter 

established Wilmette’s St. 

Joseph Church in 1872 

and Rev. Edmund Byrnes 

founded St. Francis Xavier 

in 1904. 

“This new name honors 

and pays tribute to our rich 

histories and legacies and 

combining as one seems 

appropriate,” Watts said. 

“This honor and unification 

is played out well 

in the mission statement 

on which the joint parish 

councils worked together 

with me. The work of this 

team and the Cross Functional 

Team is appreciated. 

Dozens of parishioners 

from both churches have 

given of their time for oneness 

in Wilmette.” 

These changes reflect 

not only the history and 

growth of the area but societal 

ones as well. 

Other parishes throughout 

the Chicago Archdiocesan 

are uniting similarly. 

Most recently Northfield’s 

St. Philip and Hubbard 

Woods’ Sacred Heart 

united to become the Divine 

Mercy parish. 

They are the result of 

meetings and feedback 

from representatives from 

each parish in an Archdiocesan 

program, Renew 

My Church. The program, 

which began in September 

2015, looked at the future 

church, parish and school 

structures. 

“These changes are necessary 

because the times 

are changing,” said Rev. 

Jason Mulave, liaison of 

Cupich for the Renew My 

Church process. 

“We cannot put our 

heads in the sand and 

pretend there are enough 

priests, as before. We no 

longer are the church of 

20, 40 years ago. There 

are fewer people in the 

pews these days. We need 

to build our Catholic communities.” 

He added the Chicago 

Archdiocese will have 

only about 240 priests in 

2030 to serve as pastors. 

According to early 2018 

statistics, there were 347 

Catholic parishes in Lake 

and Cook County. Active 

archdiocesan priests numbered 

431 with 225 retired 

ones. 

That does not include 

priests from religious orders. 

About half of the 

retired ones help out at 

parishes and 50 percent of 

the retired priests are more 

than 80 years old. 

In celebration of the new 

SS. Joseph and Francis 

Xavier parish, there will be 

a Unity Mas 10 a.m. June 

30 at Wilmette’s Vattman 

Park, Lake and Park Avenues. 

A free picnic lunch 

will follow. Food trucks 

also will be available to 

purchase additional food. 

In case of rain, the Unity 

Mass will be held indoors 

at St. Joseph Church and 

lunch will be served in the 

St. Joseph School gym. 

Wilmette’s St. Francis Xavier will merge with St. Joseph July 1. Photos submitted 

St. Joseph’s Rev. Wayne Watts will serve as pastor for the unified churches.

Garden View Cafe’s new menu connects with nature 

Megan Bernard 

Contributing Editor 


Diners at Chicago Botanic 

Garden’s Garden 

View Cafe get more than a 

meal — they get an experience. 

The cafe, located inside 

the garden in the Village of 

Glencoe, provides views 

overlooking the blooming 

garden and a new menu 

tying into this summer’s 

pollinator program called 

Bees and Beyond. 

The subject matter of the 

program is timely, according 

to Julie McCaffrey, the 

public relations manager. 

“There is an urgency to 

protect pollinators while 

we still can,” McCaffrey 

said in a press release. 

“Pollinators are fundamentally 

connected to 

plants, therefore, life.” 

The toasted almond salmon salad ($13.99) has baby 

greens, almonds, avocado, celery ribbons, red onion 

and lemon-dill ranch. 

The cafe’s new menu 

was launched this spring 

before the garden-wide 

program began, giving 

a glimpse into what’s to 

come this summer. The 

food is local and sustainably 

produced with seasonal 

ingredients made by 

pollinators, said executive 

chef Mike Hiller. 

“We wanted to actually 

embody the whole pollinators 

concept and theme and 

not just call everything the 

‘honey bee this’ or ‘honey 

bee that,’” Hiller said. 

“When you actually start 

May 23 through July 7

The honey bee forager salad ($12.99) comes with dandelion greens, mustard greens, 

spring mix, apples, corn, almond, feta and raspberry-honey vinaigrette at Chicago

Media 

digging into the pollinator 

issue, you realize it’s a 

lot more than just bees. … 

We’re also drawing more 

attention to plants and how 

they can help this issue.” 

A group of 22nd Century 

Media editors recently visited 

the garden to try some 

of the fresh pollinator-inspired 

dishes ourselves. 

On the new menu is a 

honey bee forager salad, 

which is comprised of 

dandelion greens, mustard 

greens, spring mix, Granny 

Smith apples, roasted corn, 

slivered almonds, crumbled 

feta and raspberry honey. 

Hiller mentioned that 

bees thrive on dandelions 

and other forager plants, 

like mustard greens, so it 

was important to highlight 

them at the cafe in this salad. 

“I was pretty naive before 

this all,” he said. “You 

always think pollination 

occurs and you don’t really 

think about it or who does 

it or the impact it has. … 

The more you dive into it, 

the more you find out that 

certain plants change their 

entire flower to attract specific 

pollinators that might 

be in the area.” 

The dandelion greens 

sparked our interest; however, 

they were subtle and 

not overpowering. The salad 

itself was so fresh and 

flavorful, drizzled with the 

raspberry honey. 

Another salad we sampled 

was the toasted almond 

salmon salad, which 

has Chicago Botanic Garden-grown 

baby greens, 

toasted almonds, avocado, 

celery ribbons, red onion 

and lemon-dill ranch. 

According to Hiller, 

the success of growing 

almonds is “100 percent 

dependent on bees,” therefore 

it fits perfectly on this 

menu. 

This salad could be a 

meal in itself; it’s hearty 

with the tender salmon atop 

and it is complemented 

well with the greens, almonds, 

and dressing. 

We completed our lunch 

with roast apple and brie 

grilled cheese, complete 

with roasted local apple, 

brie, sliced red onion and 

clover honey drizzle on 

buttery hand-sliced challah 

bread. Our staff loved this 

fun take on grilled cheese. 

It was savory and packed 

more flavor between the 

apple, cheese and onion ingredients. 

The cafe also serves a

complete breakfast menu. 

Some highlights include: a 

chorizo and pepper skillet, 

spring berry custard, and 

lemon-blueberry pancakes. 

There are also coffeehouse 

favorites, sprouts (kids) 

meals and brunch (offered 

Saturday-Sunday). 

Visitors can eat their 

meal in the cafe’s indoor 

dining area, or choose a 

table outside on the deck 

overlooking a pond. Vegetarian 

and gluten-free options 

are also available. 

The pollinator theme is 

not only expressed at the 

cafe, but throughout the 

entire garden this summer, 

revealing the vital role pollinators 

play in our everyday 

lives and in a healthy, 

diverse planet, according to 

the garden’s website. The 

program offers pollinatorthemed 

gardens, bold topiaries 

and floral carpets, an 

interactive exhibition, and 

more.

Athlete of the Week 

10 Questions 

with Andrew Kost 

The New Trier pitcher was 

also a member of the boys 

basketball team. 

Do you have any 

superstitions before, 

during or after a 

game? 

I eat a peanut butter and 

jelly sandwich before every 

game and go through 

the same stretching and 

throwing routine. 

What’s one thing 

people don’t know 

about you? 

I can solve a Rubik’s 

cube. 

What’s your greatest 

skill? 

I excel in MLB the 

Show 13 on the PS3. 

If you could travel 

anywhere in the 

world, where would it 

be and why? 

I would travel to Rome 

because there is a lot of 

history and good food. 

If you could have one 

meal for the rest of 

your life, what would 

it be and from where 

or who would make 

it? 

Potbelly’s turkey club 

with avocado. 

If you won the lottery, 

what would you do 

with the money? 

Invest most of it and 

then take a trip to Vegas 

with the boys. 

If you could play 

another sport (other 

than basketball and 

baseball), what would 

it be and why? 

I would play tennis or 

golf because I enjoy playing 

them during the summer. 

22nd Century Media File Photo 

Who is your dream 

dinner guest? 

My grandpa because I 

never got a chance to meet 

him and he was very influential 

in my parents’ lives. 

What’s the biggest 

difference between 

playing baseball and 

basketball? 

Basketball is a back 

and forth game, requiring 

bursts of maximum energy 

and improvisation, while 

baseball is a slower paced 

game giving you time to 

regroup after each pitch. 

What’s the hardest part 

about playing baseball? 

Baseball is a game of 

failure, so overcoming the 

mental adversity is critical. 

The most challenging part 

about pitching is using all 

your pitches to keep the 

hitter off balance.

third with 80.5. Loyola finished 

ninth with 22 points. 

“I thought this was going 

to be a transition year, 

but it turns out we’re a 

whole [heck] of a lot better 

than I thought we were 

going to be,” New Trier 

coach Mark Wukas said. 

“We were all in on the 

relays and I couldn’t be 

happier with their performance.” 

In what Wukas thought 

Girls Track 

From Page 36 

which is exactly what the 

senior did. 

“This is so good,” Ulrich 

said. “We are going 

out with a bang.” 

The Trevians are no 

strangers to placing at the 

state finals or even winning 

the state championship 

in the 3,200-meter 

relay. They accomplished 

the feat earlier in the decade, 

racing to the championship 

in Class 3A in 

2013. Since 2010, the Trevians 

have been among 

the top nine teams in the 

state in the 3,200-meter 

would be a rebuilding year, 

the Trevians would finish 

with five state qualifiers, 

including three relays. 

The 3,200 relay took 

third in 7:58.14, the 400 

relay second in 42.98 and 

1,600 relay third in 3:24.53. 

New Trier also had 

two individuals qualify 

in Ford Baker, who took 

fourth in the 3,200 run in 

a time of 9:23.12, and Patrick 

Kaufman, who took 

second in the 110-meter 

high hurdles with a time 

of 15.16. Baker’s time 

relay a total of six times. 

New Trier also was a 

force in the final relay of 

the day, the 1,600-meter 

relay. Once again, Sullivan 

ran the anchor leg. 

The squad finished third 

in 3:55.90. In addition to 

Sullivan, junior Bridget 

Forbes was also a member 

of the relay, running third 

leg. The two paired with 

senior Sydney Kunkler 

and sophomore Bridget 

Vitu. The winning time 

was posted by Homewood-Flossmoor, 

who ran 

3:49.92 to win by over 

five seconds. 

The Trevians also had 

four individual competitors 

in the finals, as both 

was an improvement over 

his seed time of 9:31.07 

and Kaufman over his 

time of 15.6. 

“I woke up last night in 

a cold sweat worried we 

wouldn’t qualify anybody 

and we weren’t going to 

take anybody to state,” Wukas 

said. “My fears grew 

groundless and after we 

qualified in the 4x800 and 

4x100, it made this meet a 

while lot more enjoyable. 

“I’m really happy with 

the guys and the job 

they’ve done.” 

Braband and Sullivan 

ran in the 800-meter run, 

while Ellie Finnigan and 

Marlee Fradkin competed 

in the 3,200-meter run. 

Braband earned allstate 

status in the 800-meter 

run. The sophomore 

will have an opportunity 

to improve on her eightplace 

finish next year. 

She finished in 2:15.88. 

Sullivan finished 11th in 

2:17.77. 

Finnigan and Fradkin 

both ran in the slow heat 

of the 3,200-meter run. 

Finnigan finished in 25th, 

crossing the finish line in 

11:42.42. Fradkin ran an 

11:59.32, which was good 

for 31st.





Loveland wins sectional title; NT, LA athletes head to state 

Michael Wojtychiw 

Sports Editor 

Coming down the final 

straightaway, Jack Loveland 

knew he needed to get 

his last kick into high drive 

if he was hoping to end his 

senior season on a happy 

note with a trip to the state 

finals in Charleston. 

The Loyola senior 

would recover in time to 

pull away for a win in the 

400-meter dash, taking 

the sectional crown with 

a time of 49.3 at the Niles 

West Sectional Thursday, 

May 16, in Skokie. 

“I was thinking that I 

might have this if I just 

stride at the end, but they 

kept keeping up,” Loveland 

said. “And then I 

heard this guy coming 

up behind me, so I had to 

push the hardest I’ve ever 

pushed in my life, honestly. 

“I came out strong, finished 

strong, it was a rollercoaster 

of emotions.” 

Loveland will be making 

his first trip downstate 

after missing out on making 

it out of the sectional 

last season by .2. 

Doing that in his senior 

season isn’t something 

that’s lost on Loveland. 

“This one meant a lot 

because I had the best time 

coming in,” he said. “The 

entire time people were 

telling me I’m going to 

state, so there were a lot 

of expectations. I wanted it 

really badly.” 

Loveland won’t be the 

lone Rambler going downstate, 

however. After only 

having one qualifier last 

year, Loyola added two 

more state qualifiers in 

freshman Spencer Werner, 

who took third in the 3,200 

run with a time of 9:18.74,

New Trier wins 3,200-meter relay state title 

Daniel L. Chamness 


The New Trier Trevians 

saw gold at the end of the 

track. 

In the finals of the Illinois 

High School Association 

Class 3A State Championships, 

the Trevians 

dashed to victory in the 

3,200-meter relay, finishing 

the race in 9 minutes, 

11.70 seconds. 

“That was a great way to 

start the meet,” said James 

Klotz, a New Trier assistant 

coach. “We wanted to 

be close when the third athlete 

(Leah Ulrich) handed 

off to Marnie Sullivan, our 

anchor leg. We knew if we 

were close, we had a good 

chance to win it.” 

Part of the Trevian 

coaching staff was 

100 yards away when the 

moment happened and 

hugged each other enthusiastically. 

What probably 

made it more satisfying 

for the competitors as well 

as the coaching staff was 

the victory was extremely 

hard-fought. 

“I just kept my head 

down and tried to run 

through the end,” Sullivan 

said. “I did not know 

how close Hoffman Estates 

was. I just focused 

on the finish line and concentrated 

on getting there. 

When I crossed the finish 

line, I was a little shocked. 

I am just enjoying this moment.” 

How hard-fought? Hoffman 

Estates was less than 

six-tenths of a second behind 

the Trevians in the 

eight-lap race, finishing in 

9:12.26. 

Two Trevian seniors, 

Ulrich and Sullivan, combined 

talents with junior 

Bridget Forbes and sophomore 

Emma Braband to 

earn the state championship 

in the event. 

The top five teams all 

broke 9:20 and by 9:27, all 

the placing teams had finished 

the race. In the final 

100 meters, Sullivan, clad 

in green and white with 

pink socks, emerged with 

the lead. Hoffman Estates, 

also uniquely attired, was 

in hot pursuit. But, Sullivan 

was more than capable 

of holding off the hardcharging 

runner-up team,

NSCDS wins sectional via shutout 

Neil Milbert 


North Shore Country 

Day stepped up its game in 

the second half of its IHSA 

Class 1A Sectional championship 

soccer match 

with Willows Academy at 

Waukegan’s Dougdale Park 

and took a resolute step toward 

a second straight trip 

to the state finals. 

Emily Weil, Edith Edwards-Mizel 

and Paige 

Forester scored the goals 

and goalkeeper Abby Renaud 

recorded the shutout in 

the 3-0 victory on Saturday, 

May 18, that enabled the 

Raiders to take the Sectional 

title for the second straight 

season after capturing it for 

the first time last year. 

North Shore was a 4-1 

winner at Willows during 

the regular season and 

dominated the first half. 

The Raiders took 13 shots 

and several were excellent 

scoring chances. Meanwhile, 

Renaud had to make 

six saves and only one was 

difficult. 

Nevertheless, coach 

Lizzy Gifften was concerned, 

very aware that it 

was anyone’s game. “They 

have a good coach (Leah 

Kartsimas) and they’re 

much improved (since the 

prior meeting),” she said. 

Giffen told her team: 

“You can’t turn the ball 

over and you have to play 

faster.” 

Weil got the message. 

Taking a pass from Allie 

Charnas, she outmaneuvered 

defenders as she 

moved across the goal 

mouth from the near left 

side and then lifted a high 

shot just inside the right 

goal post to open the scoring 

with 12 seconds elapsed 

in the second half. 

“We got the energy up at 

North Shore Country Day poses after winning its Class 1A sectional title Saturday, May 18, in Waukegan. Photo submitted 

halftime and coming out I 

tried to feed on that,” she 

said. “I was trying to go 

for the corner and get the 

goal.” 

Weil had another good 

chance a few minutes later 

but this time her shot was 

stopped by goalie Kathryn 

Stanfel. 

The Raiders stayed in 

their attacking mode and 

were rewarded 12 minutes 

into the half when 

Edwards-Mizel’s low shot 

from the right side found 

the left corner of the net. 

“Patience is not one 

of my strong points but I 

moved through traffic and 

waited to shoot when the 

goalie was moving out,” 

Edwards-Mizel said. 

After getting the assist 

on Edwards-Mizel’s goal, 

Forester added another insurance 

goal 13 minutes 

later. Caroline Segal was 

credited with the assist. 

Forester said: “In the second 

half we came out with 

a different mind-set. We 

went in thinking we had to 

do whatever we could to 

win it.” 

The victory improved 

the Raiders’ record to 14-3. 

Giffen believes experience 

and scoring capability 

are their biggest assets 

as they attempt to move 

on to the state championship 

match and succeed 

where they failed last season 

against Notre Dame of 

Quincy. 

She has nine starters back 

from that team — which 

went farther than any team 

in school history — and 

she pointed out “we have 

multiple players who have 

scored 9, 10, 11 goals.” 

The players are of the 

opinion that they have also 

have camaraderie going for 

them. 

“A big thing last year 

was team chemistry and 

this year we’ve been even 

closer as a team,” Weil said. 

According to Edwards- 

Mizel, “we genuinely enjoy 

being with each other.”

New Trier falls short in third-place match at state 

Michael Wojtychiw, Sports Editor 

New Trier’s girls water polo 

team has become somewhat of 

a regular at the water polo state 

finals. For the fifth time in six 

years, the Trevians advanced to 

at least the state quarterfinals at 

Stevenson. 

However, unlike their previous 

two appearances in 2016 and 

2017, the Trevians would go on 

to win their quarterfinal game 

and guarantee themselves a state 

trophy. 

Unfortunately for New Trier, 

that’s where the winning 

stopped, as it dropped both its 

semifinal game to Naperville 

North and the third-place game 

to Mother McAuley 11-6 on 

Saturday, May 18, in Lincolnshire. 

“We were able to beat Conant 

and that was one of our big objectives, 

to get to Saturday at 

state and we achieved that objective,” 

New Trier coach Matt 

Wendt said. “We just fell flat. 

“We got home after 11 p.m. 

on Thursday and some of the 

girls were up to 1:30 a.m. doing 

homework. We were gassed, 

there was nothing left in the 

tank. It sucked the energy out of 

our team, but I’m proud of the 

girls, they battled.” 

The game got off to a rough 

LAND 

OF THE 

FREE 

BECAUSE 

OF THE 

BRAVE 

Lic. 055-004618 

start for the Trevians, as the 

Mighty Macs scored just 15 seconds 

in. Emilia Zientara scored 

her 11th goal of the year with 

four-and-a-half minutes to play 

in the period, as the Trevians 

seemed to ease into the game after 

a rough start. 

The teams traded shot for 

shot, save for save, for the majority 

of the first period until 

Mother McAuley scored on a 

man-up and then a breakaway 

on consecutive possessions in 

the last 38 seconds of the period, 

giving the Mighty Macs a 

3-1 lead. 

Taylor Jones would score to 

cut the lead to 3-2 with just over 

five minutes to go in the half, but 

McAuley responded with a 3-1 

run to extend the lead to 6-3 at 

the half. 

The Mighty Macs scored twice 

early in the third, but the Trevians 

would respond with backto-back 

goals by Emma Wendt 

and Leah Caywood but the deficit 

would still be four, 9-5, going 

into the final period. 

Two more McAuley goals 

and the game was all but sealed. 

Kasey Umlauf would leave the 

way with two goals and goalie 

Maddie Beacom had 10 saves, 

including four in the first period. 

For seniors like Caywood and 

Capts. Carrie Hoza and PhilHoza 

Beacom, this ends their careers 

with the highest finish the program 

has achieved since a state 

runner-up finish in 2015. 

“Leah Caywood was the third 

Caywood sister I’ve had and 

she’s been one of our big scorers 

for us,” Wendt said. “Maddie 

Beacom played really well 

in the goal. She’s had some ups 

and downs but when she came to 

play, she played really well.” 

Beacom was really happy 

and proud about how her team

The game of soccer can 

change in an instant. One 

bounce, one flick and the 

outcome of the game can 

be changed in seconds. 

Loyola’s girls soccer 

team found that out the 

hard way Friday, May 

17, in its regional final 

matchuo with Maine South 

in WIlmette. 

The Hawks got all they 

needed a mere 51 seconds 

into the game, when one 

of their players knocked 

in a looping goal to give 

the visitors an early 1-0 

lead. That would also be 

the only goal of the game, 

as they would walk away 

with a 1-0 win, taking the 

Loyola Regional title back 

to Park Ridge. 

“We talked in pregame 

about managing our emotions 

throughout the entire 

game, we could have been 

in the opposite position 

and then we would have 

had to manage different 

emotions,” Loyola coach 

Shannon Hartinger said. “I 

think the girls did an outstanding 

job not only managing 

the emotion but then 

completely dominating the 

rest of the half.” 

Despite giving up the 

early goal, it was Loyola 

that controlled play for the 

majority of the first half. 

The Ramblers earned 

seven corners in the first 

half, including five in a 

three-minute stretch in 

the game’s first 10 minutes. 

The one thing they 

couldn’t do, however, is 

put the ball into the back 

of the net. 

“For us, we created a 

lot of great opportunities, 

we created a lot of corner 

kicks, we put ourselves 

in dangerous positions 

to score,” Hartinger said. 

“I thought they defended 

well. Credit to their keeper 

and their backs for clearing 

the ball out of danger.” 

The Ramblers’ best scoring 

chance came midway 

through the second half, 

when a shot by #29 hit 

the crossbar but bounced 

forward instead of into 

the goal. Loyola also had 

a great chance with about 

three-and-a-half minutes 

remaining but a shot went 

just wide of the goal. 

It was an interesting 

year for Loyola this season. 

For the majority of 

the year, many freshmen 

and sophomores saw considerable 

playing time, including 

a number of whom 

were constant starters for 

the squad. 

That combined with 

All-Stater Maggie Brett 

coming back from a torn 

ACL slowed the Ramblers 

down at the beginning of 

the year. However, as Brett 

returned, and the underclassmen 

became adjusted 

to the high school game, 

you could see a different 

Loyola squad than the one

who struggled early on. 

“I think it’s evident that 

we were able to have a 

strong class of seniors, 

who led us on and off the 

field in everything we 

did,” the coach said. “They 

accepted the younger players 

on the team with open 

arms and recognized the 

value of each player on 

our team. The culture they 

created with accepting the 

younger players was a big 

part of our success. 

“We gelled well as a 

team towards the latter 

part of the season, but that 

all goes back to the senior 

leaders.” 

The 2019 season was 

also an interesting one for 

Hartinger, who took over 

as coach just three or four 

months ago. 

“For me, transitioning 

from club soccer to high 

school soccer, the biggest 

difference is the amount of 

games you play in a short 

period of time,” she joked. 

“The managing of things 

evolved more throughout 

the season as well. 

“At the end of the day, 

it’s the game and the objective 

is to not let the 

other team score goals, so 

all along I tried to focus 

on the development of our 

team on the field and then 

let the other stuff happen 

naturally.” 

Not only do the Ramblers 

lose Brett, who 

will play at Washington 

University-St. Louis next 

season, they also lose key 

players in Madeline Prassas, 

Kathleen Jaros, Kate 

Murtagh, Claire Kelly, 

Lauren Daffada, Megan 

Kurtz and Madeline Phillips. 

“This is obviously 

a very special senior 

class for Loyola soccer,” 

Hartinger said. “They 

have handled the past year 

here at Loyola with the 

utmost integrity, they’ve 

handled themselves with 

class, been leaders on and 

off the field and I can’t say 

enough about the ;legacy 

they’re leaving and the 

torch they’re passing on to 

our younger players. 

“I think that anything 

we do in the future, we can 

look back at this group of 

seniors and will give them 

full credit for everything 

they’ve done.” 

Key returnees include 

Molly Sipe, Grace Ehlert 

and Kaitlyn Kurtz, all 

freshmen, as well as Meredith 

Phillips, Grace Cutler 

and Eleanor Jackson, to 

name a few.
