THE ILLPOLO REPORT

Week 2

The following is a summary of what took place during the second week of the season. This is not a complete list and we can only include a few people in this summary, but the purpose is to recognize a few of the best performances from each week.

Players To Watch

Boys - Josue Hernandez (Juarez)

The Juarez standout has led the team to a 4-1 record to start the season.

Boys - Drew Stoffel (Stagg)

Stoffel scored 7 goals to lead Stagg past Naperville North 15-10 and into the Top 20 of this week's rankings.

Girls - Kristy Bessler (Schaumburg)

Bessler scored 6 times to lead the Saxons to an 11-3 victory over Conant.

Girls - Danielle Cirrintano (Neuqua Valley)

Cirrintano scored 2 goals in the Wildcats 4-3 win over McAuley and has made a big impact for the Neuqua offense this season.

Biggest Impact

Boys - Luke O'Connell (Oak Park)

O'Connell's lob shot from the left side gave Oak Park a 13-11 lead late in the game and proved to be the decisive goal in a 13-12 win at the Fenwick Tournament on Friday night.

Boys - Luke Walker (Hinsdale Central)

Delivered the game-winner in the final minute for the Red Devils in a 14-13 won over Conant.

Girls - Emily Caise (Bradley)

Scored 14 of her team's 16 goals in a 16-10 win over Morton.

Top Goalie Performances

The Huskies' goaltender made a handful of crucial saves and passes in wins over Fenwick and Naperville Central over the weekend.

Boys - Geno Freeman (Brother Rice)

Freeman stopped 14 shots and helped the Crusaders beat St Ignatius 10-8 on Monday night.

The Vikings' keeper recorded 10 saves and limited Evanston to just two goals in H-F's 4-2 win.

The Huskies' goalie connected on a full-court shot at the end of the first half to give her team a 1-0 lead over York and held the Dukes scoreless in a 4-0 victory at the NC Tournament on Saturday.

Biggest Surprises

The Spartans beat Evanston twice in the second week of the season and split their two matches with rival Glenbrook South.

The CPS school is off to a 4-1 start behind the play of Josue Hernandez and company.

Girls - Neuqua Valley

The Wildcats surprised Mother McAuley 4-3 over the weekend at the Lockport Tournament.

Girls - Schaumburg

The Saxons earned wins over Barrington and Conant as they moved towards the top of the MSL West table.

Least Surprising Outcome

Boys - Brother Rice and Lyons finish in a 10-10 tie

Can we make it mandatory that sudden-death overtime is in place for any future games between Brother Rice and Lyons? This latest result shows how evenly matched these teams are once again in 2010.
