Athlete of the week

Kali Loescher

Crystal Lake South, sr.

Loescher, a forward, scored seven goals and added six assists the past week in the Gators’ three Fox Valley Conference matches since April 28.

Loescher had three goals and two assists against Woodstock North, two goals and three assists against Crystal Lake Central, and two goals and an assist against McHenry. The Gators are 13-7-2 overall and 8-2 in the FVC.

Noteworthy

Injured but not done: Huntley senior defender Alyse Williams is again nursing a meniscus injury, Red Raiders coach Kris Grabner said last week, but he expects her back in time for the postseason, noting that the injury was not major.

Williams has injured her ACL and meniscus in back-to-back seasons. She is headed to Illinois State University on a soccer scholarship.

The loss has not slowed the Raiders, though. Huntley’s defense remains stingy, and the Raiders moved from No. 14 to No. 11 this week in the ESPN RISE Top 50 national rankings.

Torman recognized: Marengo senior forward Alexa Torman has scored more goals this season than any other player in Illinois, according to MaxPreps.com, which lists state leaders.

Torman has scored 23 goals in 14 games. She has added six assists.
