Lake Forest 4 - Loyola 0
Lake Forest continued its winning ways with a strong showing in
Glenview. The Scouts, anxious not to have a let down after being
ranked in the top 15 in the Chicago Tribune, started fast and kept
up the pressure. Early on, Caroline Martin sent a beautiful
diagonal ball to Kate Affoutit, who took it end line and, with her
left foot, sent a tantalizing cross on the ground that just alluded
Haleigh McPeek before being perfectly slotted in the side netting
of the far post by an onrushing Megan Bourne. The second goal had
some similarities as Charlotte Seidel beat her man down the left
wing before passing to Kelly Burke, who shielded the ball from her
man before dropping it to a supporting Kelsey Goon, who perfectly
side footed it just inside the far post. A few minutes later, Haleigh
McPeek received a beautiful diagonal ball from Clarie Palutsis. Then,
realizing she could not beat her man on the outside, she turned
back toward the middle onto her left foot and chipped the goalie
into the far upper corner. While the first three goals involved
tactical and technical precision, the second half began with Thunder
and Lightning. Haleigh McPeek got it to her sister, who barreled
through her defender before absolutely tattooing a ball past the
keeper's ear into the net. If the keeper would have seen it coming,
she probably would have dived for cover. Annie Evans, Annie Hedger,
Caroline Martin, Katharine McCauley and Anne Roswell anchored the
defense, along with Finely Ama to, to preserve another shutout.
04/16/08 Lake Forest 2 - Mundelein 1 On a blustery day where Dorothy wouldn’t have known what to do, two undefeated teams battled amidst 35 mph wind gusts. In the end, the Scouts were able to corral the previously undefeated and unscored upon Mustangs. For the first time this year, the Scouts found themselves behind as the Mustangs were able to bend in a corner kick for a goal in the first couple of minutes. However, the Scouts regained their composure and were able to battle back and tie it up on a wicked shot from freshman Holly Wark. The second half saw both teams getting a couple of good opportunities with Finley Amato making a crucial stop and Annie Haeger clearing a ball off the line. The keeper for Mundelein had to make two stellar saves, stopping a Caroline Martin blast and courageously punching a Kelsey Goon shot over the bar. In the end, with 15 minutes left to play, the Scouts capitalized. A cross was knocked down, but not out. Hollis McPeek, with the calmness of a brain surgeon operating in a car while driving on Lake Forest pot holes, simply hit a firm ball, with the inside of her foot, past the sprawled out keeper into the lower right corner. What a game! 04/14/08 Lake Forest 6 - Libertyville 3 Lake Forest came out en Fuego against the Cats. The Scouts struck first with outstanding two- touch play ending with a perfect pass from Haleigh McPeek to Megan Bourne, who finished clinically. Next, the Scouts turned up the pressure and forced a turnover from which Haleigh McPeek capitalized. Then Caroline Martin scored the first of her two headers off a corner from Katharine McCauley. The Cats clawed their way back in with their first shot of the game just before halftime. After the break, the barrage continued with consecutive headers from Caroline Martin and Holly Wark. Finally, Kelsey Goon scored after Kate Affourtit created a wonderful scoring opportunity that made the whole defense collapse around her before sliding it across to Kelsey. 04/12/08 Lake Forest 2 - Lakes 0 In a rematch of last year’s regional final, the Scouts triumphed by the same score. The forward tandem of Haleigh McPeek and Kate Affourtit both scored again for the third game in a row. The game winner was a Hollis McPeek left footed cross to Haleigh McPeek, who used her left foot to slot into the near post past the keeper. In the second half, high pressure by the Scouts led to a poor clearance, which Holly Wark settled and then sent up to Haleigh McPeek, who took a touch and crossed it to Kate Affoutit, who quickly controlled it before Rocking the Waffle! 04/11/08 04/09/08
Lake Forest 4 - Warren 0
Kate Affourtit gave the Blue Devils all that
they could handle. It started with a beautiful slot pass from Kelsey
Goon in the midfiled, with which Kate quickly dribbled past a few
defenders and surgically placed it inside the far post. She kept
up her relentless pressure and ended up assisting on the next three
goals, which were all scored by Haleigh McPeek, who finished with
the accuracy and poise of a veteran. Finley Amato kept the score
sheet intact with some great positioning and sure hands (and a
little help from the crossbar). Kate earned the prestigous Squidward
award for her efforts.
