Early Success In The Winter Season

For those soccer players who only play one sport, the end of the season usually means learning how to stay disciplined when one suddenly has loads of free time in the afternoons and on the weekends.

But for those athletes who aren't content to merely represent the Foresters on the soccer field, life has remained busy.

Mira Trebilcock, the soccer program's favorite Canadian, was an immediate help to her "other" team, despite missing the preseason practices and the team trip to UW-Superior. She scored two goals at Augsburg College (MN) last weekend to help her team twice defeat the Auggies 6-1. Although Mira has been ill with the flu this week (get well, get well soon, we want you to get well) the Women's Hockey team has continued to win against conference rival Finlandia University (MI). Mira will be back on her feet soon and skating with the Foresters, who are currently ranked #10 in the country.


Emily Weber hasn't had to deal with the flu, but she did have to get her shot back after spending the soccer season avoiding touching the ball with her hands. Luckily, for both her and her teammates, she is a quick study. After a not-so-great showing on the offensive end of the court last Tuesday against UW-Oshkosh, Webby poured in a career high 18 on Friday against the Alverno Inferno and followed that up with 12 more (along with taking a sweet charge and picking up 4 assists) against Loras College on Saturday. With those two victories the Women's Basketball team won their Tip-Off Tournament and Webs was one of two Foresters named to the All-Tournament team. Congrats!

BZ Greene did not compete in the Illinois Handball Association's Contenders Tournament over the weekend, choosing instead to rest on her laurels. BZ was the C-Division champion in last weekend's Singles Tournament, and we look forward to more handball victories from Beezer and her teammates soon.
