wilmettebeacondaily.com sports the wilmette beacon | January 23, 2020 | 33 Athlete of the Week 10 Questions with Katia Tsytsarina The New Trier senior is a key member of the Trevians’ fencing squad When did you first start fencing and why? I started fencing during my freshman year because one of my friends was planning on joining the team, and since I’d had some interest in the sport, I thought hey, why not take the chance? What’s the hardest part about fencing? The hardest part of fencing, for me at least, is keeping myself motivated throughout the season, especially during the stretches when we don’t have tournaments. During those times it can feel like there’s just no payoff for all the work you’re putting in, and that can be discouraging if you let it get to you. What’s the best part about fencing? That excruciatingly short moment of triumph when you’ve won a bout 15-14, and all your body wants to do is sleep for a week but you know that you’ve fought the hardest you could and it paid off. What’s one thing on your bucket list? In all the eight years that we’ve lived near the lake, I’ve never seen a sunrise on Lake Michigan. I’d certainly like to change that. What’s been your favorite moment at New Trier? My favorite moment was probably seeing my artwork printed in a school magazine for the first time. If you could play another sport, what would you play? I think I’d enjoy playing tennis. If you could have one last meal, what would it be? Thinly sliced baked potatoes, the way my mom makes them. I have some really good memories tied to that dish, so I might as well relive them while I can. If you could have dinner with three Photo submitted people, who would the three people be? Since the question doesn’t specify that I’m limited to living people, I’m going to go with Radclyffe Hall, Christopher Isherwood, and Rosalind Franklin. What would you say is your best quality? I like to think of my curiosity as one of my best qualities. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I’d like to go to London. I love all the different architecture, and I’d give just about anything to spend a week in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Interview by Sports Editor Michael Wojtychiw The Varsity: North Shore Podcast Guys recap hoops, talk wrestling and hockey Staff Report In this week’s episode of The Varsity: North Shore, the only podcast focused on North Shore sports, hosts Michal Dwojak, Nick Frazier and Michael Wojtychiw catch up on everything going on with North Shore sports.

We’re all in the same class and we’ve built a bond.” Wax would have liked to see more open shots fall for his girls against North Shore but he wasn’t complaining much. hockey From Page 38 Find the varsity Twitter: @NorthShorePreps Facebook: @thevarsitypodcast Website: WilmetteBeaconDaily.com/sports Download: Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, PlayerFM, more First Quarter The guys start off the episode by recapping all of the hoops action. Second Quarter Lake Forest girls basketball star Douglass joins the show after her game against Hersey. “Did we play well tonight? No, not really,” he said. “But a win’s a win, and wins are hard to come by in our conference.” Woodlands also played without a key starter in Shelby Smith, but applauded the day’s work put forth by Liz Coughlin and Zoe Nworache. Coughlin gave up a few inches in height to North Shore center Ava dahl and his job was just to kind of let (Dahlke) know he was there — oldtime hockey. “That line of Charlie Acri, John Kane and John Babnik has played really well, and Mac Zelazny and Trent Kadin’s line always seems to come up big and they got us going tonight.” Saturday’s game was the fourth meeting between the top two ranked teams in Illinois according to Ross Forman’s Top 25 rankings. Saturday marked the fourth time the top-ranked Trevians have beaten the secondranked Spartans this season. “GBN came out really strong and I think we just raised our game in the third,” Melton said. “I was happy with the way we responded.

Bogan but didn’t flinch. “(Coughlin) plays a great defensive game and she had a lot to handle with their big girl,” Wax said. “Her defense, boards, and outlet passes for our break are important for us, and I thought (Nworache) filled in and did a nice job. She also played a really good defensive game tonight.” down, and that gets us going.” Glenbrook North was left to ponder what might have been. “People might point to the two defensive turnovers we had in the third period but in the second period, we had four chances in the slot area and we put them over the net,” Poulakidas said. “And in a game like this against a team as good as New Trier, you’ve got to get one of those.”
