Lake Forest 5 - Oak Park-River Forest 0

It took 30 minutes to get things rolling, but the Scouts field hockey team unloaded on Oak Park Friday night with a 5-goal second half.  Senior captain, Finley Amato, opened the scoring by eliminating 3 defenders before shoving the ball past the OPRF goalie six minutes into the scoreless second half of the game.  Emily Barrett tipped in a beautiful cross from Megan Bourne for the second goal, causing the Oak Park defense to crumble.  Ashley Romano then hammered home a rebound from Bridget Hegg, followed up by a beautiful finish from Betsy Frese off of Romano's cross for goal number 4.  The final tally came with six minutes remaining when the Scouts converted on a penalty corner when Bridget Hegg sent a rocket of a shot just behind the goalie, Romano earned her second assist.   Jordan Majka completed the shutout started by Patty Ziccarelli, with 10 combined saves in goal.  The Scout defense continued their domination led by Williams, Retsky, Skinner and Johnson.  The Scouts wrap up their regular season with two home games next week, beginning with a celebration of our amazing seniors on Wednesday vs. Deerfield at 4:30.

Lake Forest 1 - New Trier 0

The Scout field hockey team attacked and scored early against a tough New Trier team on Tuesday.  With less than favorable conditions, the LF squad wanted to be sure to come away with a win in the event the game was called early due to poor weather.  The lone goal of the game came within the first five minutes off a feed from Anna Begley, a touch by Maggie Burke and finished by Emily Barrett.  LF dominated most of the game with the exception of a 7-minute span where New Trier had 6 penalty corners.  Lake Forest defender Julia Retsky stretched across the goal with an incredible defensive save to prevent what would have been a certain goal for New Trier.  Goalie Patty Ziccarelli had 5 saves in the muddy goal cage and was helped defensively by Elizabeth Skinner, Tracey Williams, Norah Johnson and Retsky.  Jordan Majka shared the shutout.  Midfielders Annie Evans and Finley Amato kept the ball on the offensive end and forward Megan Bourne kept the attack alive on the front line.  The Scouts now move to 13-1 and share the league lead with New Trier (12-1).

Lake Forest 0 - New Trier 1

The Scouts are off to an up and down start this season.  After a successful tournament in St. Louis, where the Scouts were 2-1, and two wins against Homewood-Flossmoor and Deerfield, they suffered their first loss of the season to perennial foe New Trier.  The game was evenly matched throughout most of the game when the Trevians capitalized on a scoring opportunity with 5 minutes remaining.  Despite 10 penalty corners, Lake Forest was unable to convert.  They hope to spark some offense next week with their first home game, Monday, Sept. 8, vs. Lake Forest neighbors, Woodlands Academy, at 4:30 on the front lawn.  The Scouts will then play Lakes High School, again at home on Tuesday, Sept 9.  Come cheer them on to their first at home victories!
