Swift leads Naperville North comeback May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
If Naperville North and Neuqua Valley had played first goal wins, fans would have missed a great girls soccer game. A Zoe Swift goal 44 seconds into Wednesday's Class 3A Bolingbrook sectional final only whet the appetite for an action-packed game that turned into a 4-3 Huskies victory. "I didn't expect 4-3 either, but when you sit back and you think about it, when you've got this many attacking pieces out there that both of these teams have, it's really not a surprise I guess when you think of it," Huskies coach Steve Goletz said. "Obviously, neither of us probably going into the game, Neuqua or us, wanted to say we'd give up that many goals. But I think it's obviously a testament to the attacking players that are on the field."

Heartbreak again for St. Edward May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
This might be the worst case of déjà vu for the St. Edward girls soccer team. For the second year in a row, the Green Wave was oh so close to a trip to the IHSA Class 1A state Final Four. But just as it happened last year in the sectional final against Lisle, the season ended in heartbreak for coach Tim Brieger’s team. Francis Parker was this year’s Lisle, coming from behind to beat the Green Wave 3-1 in the Concordia University supersectional in River Forest Tuesday. The IHSA added a supersectional round to Class 1A girls soccer this year for the first time.

Geneva doubles up Batavia May 21, 2013 12:00 AM
Geneva showed on Saturday in its victory over St. Charles East how potent its girls soccer offense can be at the start of a match. Tuesday against Batavia in the Class 3A Hoffman Estates sectional semifinals, Geneva showed it could not only be devastating early in a match, but that it could sustain the momentum and then hold on over the course of 80 minutes. The Vikings scored twice in the opening 11 minutes, raced to a 4-0 lead over the first 41 minutes and held on for a 4-2 win over the Bulldogs.

Rose kicks St. Charles N. past Conant in 2 OTs May 21, 2013 12:00 AM
If all she had done on Tuesday night was defend, Kenzie Rose’s contributions for St. Charles North’s girls soccer team would have been immense. But Rose did more than operate as a shutdown defender for 100 minutes of play for the North Stars in their Class 3A Hoffman Estates sectional semifinal against Conant. When 5:45 left in the second overtime, Rose moved forward for an Alyssa Brandt corner kick, got one shot away that was blocked, then shot again from close range and scored the only goal of the match.

Lauren Gierman’s stunning first-half double combined with sheer defensive determination from her teammates took No. 3 seed Hersey into the sectional final after a 3-1 defeat of No. 2 seed Carmel on Tuesday night in a Class 3A sectional semifinal at Mundelein.

A “work in progress” is the way Mia Calamari described Barrington’s set pieces. They worked pretty good Tuesday night. The Fillies scored their first two goals directly off set pieces en route to a 5-0 victory over Huntley in the Class 3A Jacobs girls soccer sectional semifinals in Algonquin.

Neuqua Valley didn't waste any time. The Wildcats didn't score off the opening kickoff — although they tried — but they did find the back of the net less than two minutes later. They notched a 3-1 victory at Saturday's Class 3A Bolingbrook regional final to eliminate Naperville Central

Chokshi, Grayslake Central outlast Lakes in shootout May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
After getting a glimpse of what was possible for Grayslake Central girls soccer team, goalkeeper Kajal Chokshi personally made sure that vision was realized Saturday. Chokshi made 3 penalty kick saves in the shootout, along with a couple of other key stops in the final 10 minutes of regulation."I felt like something was going to happen," said Chokshi who made 9 saves and recorded her ninth shutout of the season. "All the girls and these coaches believed that we could do it." That self-confidence helped third-seeded Grayslake Central get past No. 6 Lakes 1-0 (5-4 in a seven-round penalty kick shootout) in the Class 2A Grayslake Central regional final.
